Things I learned from the trip to Houston and this season.

1) We should have been 11-1. There was no reason we should have lost to Ark and OM
2) 2016 is the year. Harris will have a full year under his belt and we will be stacked at RB and hopefully receiver
3) Les deserves another year. Although the situation was handled terribly, in reality we won 10 games. Next year is do or die though
4) NRG is probably the nicest indoor stadium in the NFL
5) LSU fans love Pappasitos
6) Houston is not just Americans and Mexicans. It was literally a melting pot and every store had someone who didn't speak English
Ultimately, LSU had a decent year. Yes the fall from being ranked #2 was less than graceful, but before the year I think we all knew we'd have between 8-10 wins in the regular season. 2016 will be set up nicely if we don't win the SEC next year it might be a while before it happens again.
At the end of the day though we have to be thankful we're Tiger Fans. I'd rather root for the purple and gold and watch them go 9-3 than be a gump even if it means winning 4 National Championships.
Happy New Years baws. Looking forward to 2016

Good summary/observations. Agree with pretty much everything you say here

NRG stadium is the six flags to AT&T stadium's Disney World.

NGR stadium parking was a complete cluster. The attendants had no clue or desire to do their job. Really felt like I was in NOLA (from there so I can say this). They were more interested in talking with their friends than doing their job.
I left with 5:00 on the clock in the 4th. 5 yo daughter sleeping and 3 yo in hand. Sat for 45 minutes before moving more than 10 feet. By the time we got out both outer lots were empty. Complete cluster frick!

Had no issues parking or leaving but I know the trick. You come in on Buffalo Speedway, turn on murworth and park in the green or brown lot. When you leave you go back out the same way you came in and once you cross 90 you are home free. Take buffalo speedway back to 59 and you are in the clear.

Venture out more is what I have to say about Houston.
I watch every game mutiple times. Most of the stuff you start seeing is knee jerk reaction. We have an emotional fan base. Now, the small minority never liked the coach to begin with.
This is an issue. Until you can truly step back away from it all, you wont start appreciating the last 11 seasons.
LSU has a coach that has been LSU since he's been here. The actual people running the show is about politics and themselves. It was this way for decades before Emmert, it continues after.
You can blame the coaches all you want, but they were hired by someone. And history has showed me time and time again that the people in charge have been the down fall. Especially when politics are involved.

NRG sucks. Not the stadium, but that whole area. I stayed across the street, only because of past experience. I haven't been to every NFL stadium, but I'd never go to a Texans game if I lived there.

This has been cute. But only you people say this. Did you actually think LSU was winning it all this year? Seriously? Changes in staff, new qb, you thought this was LSUs year?

I'm confused. I root for lsu because I grew up being a local fan and went to the school, but can you really say you enjoy that last part? All things aside, I'd rather be a football fan for Bama right now. Jesus get real

Alabama had changes in staff and a new QB and they're about to win a 4th natty in like 8 years.

This is it. The sharp politics is one of the several reasons Saban left for the NFL. That and the guys in the TAF who would do anything he wanted not having enough pull to get things done HIS WAY.
Miles ignores it and embraces the positives of LSU. A successful coach can do it at LSU despite the politics. Saban did in spite of his contempt for the disaster complex and other things about Louisiana and the LSU fan base he did not like. Miles spins it all positive and takes the good with the bad. That is why he is a true born again Tiger from Wolverine cloth and has been the ideal fit. Beyotch about perceived weaknesses in his coaching all y'all want. And, yes, there is some justifiable criticism for sure. But he is ideal as a program manager and face of the program to the outside world as he embraces the La. spirit.

Not so fast. They have not won it yet, although they should. Just saying:). And Bama's situation is unique and unheard of form past years. What program before them had FIVE straight number one recruiting classes. Packing the program with five stars and four stars at just about all starting positions will cover up issues caused by changes in staff and a new QB. Especially when the new QB is a fifth year senior.

I would have loved to have seen LSU win the NCS they have in recent past too. But I would never want to be a Gump LOL! All they live for is football. There is no other state in the union that is the least deserving of their unusual success. The Gods of football effed that up. Or, it was a design by Satan all along. devil:

Pappasito's is "okay". You should have tried the Original Ninfa's, El Tiempo or Escalante. All better than Pappasito's.

Have a happy and blessed 2016! El Tiempo ? never been there .
