Everyone keeps saying LSU is going to be down this year cause we have alot of younger players starting. I just do not understand, its like they do not think we can reload, we have to rebuild. Our own local newspaper projected 4 losses!!


What's wrong with this assessment again?

Our defense is young. Our WRs are good but not the best. Our QB is still unproven. And we have one of the toughest schedules in college football.

How many losses did we have last year again?

I quit paying attention the journalism majors years ago. Most didnt even play. LSU is good, they've recruited well. I think of writers like when teams talk about how loud a stadiums gonna be and that will be the difference. The writers just like the fans wont play a snap. ALL games will be decided by players on a field 100 yds long and 52 yds wide. Nobody else. I couldnt care less what the media thinks about anything. Remember preseason number one last year? there ya go. Good luck to the Tigahs tonight

I'm calling bullshite on this one. When we were making our run for the NC in 2007, ESPN did a huge story on Glen Dorsey and how he overcame a leg deformity as a child. Then the media did a huge splash on the honey badger, a puff piece about how he overcame the odds without a Daddy. The rest of your post is so full of inconsistencies and blather I can't even dissect it, it would take too long and I don't care that much.

Why does this bother you?

Ever seen the ESPN commercial about Les Miles?


You are a very immature football fan.

Sorry, the "lack of respect" angle disappeared about 10 years ago. Every college football fan nationwide and the national media knows what kind of program LSU has. They're on national TV give or take 8 times a year, appearing on multiple commercials, and are generally thought of as on of the top 5 programs in the country by just about everybody. Find something else to get bent out of shape about.

Still don't get it do you? LSU will NEVER get the respect we deserve. If LSU, like bama, was going for their third NC in a row I guarantee that our nobs would not be getting slobbed by the media right now. They would be picking Oregon, Ohio St., Texas, or someone to beat us in our own conference. LSU will never get the billions of dollars worth of media coverage that they give to big name programs.

You are an imbecile! Please pick another team. Thanks, have a nice day.

No shite!

I fear for the college/SEC football IQ of any not respecting a LSU program with 3 BCSCG appearances, 4 SEC titles, 107-25 record, and a SEC record of 63-22 in the last decade.

And why no "respect" for LSU basketball, baseball, track, gymnastics? Or for Saints, or Pelicans? Or for our Governor, or Senators, or Legislature, or students, or old people, or young people, or middle-aged people? Grow up, Brah.

The media thinks Les Miles is a buffon. They don't laugh with him , they laugh AT him. When LSU starts beating Alabama , then we will get some respect.

Everybody has Nick Saban's cock in their mouth. When you win multiple NC's , you will get respect. This football season boils down to this; will Alabama lose two games prior to Jan. this season? If the answer is no , then the Tide wins another NC. Period.

You think Les will go undefeated this season? Get serious.

LSU is 5-4 against Alabama since 2005 and 9-5 against them since 2000.

Our fans can be so stupid.

But you probably aren't even an LSU fan with your when we start beating Alabama BS.
