Retention is going to be the key to success going forward.

Recruit well work to keep most of them, and then plug the holes.

Depth is going to be a casualty but the teams with more guys in year 2 plus will win even if those guys weren’t starters.

The stocked pond of Ohio State that lost their quarterback and doesn't have a credible backup?

This is what’s happening in the LSU fanbase right now, and it’s sad


You act as if this is some brand new phenomenon among LSU fans. It’s been this way since Saban left, imo.

I’m no longer emotionally invested in it. Since I was a child, the outcome of the LSU game during football season has had a big impact on my weekends. That’s not the case anymore.

While you’re fundamentally not wrong about a simple game’s overinflated importance in the overall scheme of things, you’re also obviously missing that the word “fan” comes from “fanatic”.

That’s not a new dynamic in sports and “fanatics” for better or worse, are what gives sports a lot of its juice. The pure irrationality is a big part of what makes it fun and an escape for many from the stresses and demands of their personal lives.

The SEC is an extremely high-level of quality college football but the “fan”atics are what truly makes the SEC the SEC.

So of course there’s going to be irrational, overblown, emotional behaviors on virtually a week to week basis ….because we are talking about fans.

Cignetti also brought 13 players with him to Indiana including 8 starters from a team that went 11-2. It allowed him to have his systems installed with extreme efficiency.

Then he essentially hit the transfer jackpot the next offseason with Mendoza. That is something he won't do every time. It is essentially what Ed Orgeron did with Burrow.

People's expectations of LSU blew up when we routed Clemson. But to be honest, we should have known better. We all knew Clemson sucked. But we wanted to believe.

Give Lane three years and we will be humming.

Actually a large percentage of LSU fans expect Les Miles 10 win seasons every year.

They started watching LSU when Saban won it in 03, enjoyed the Miles era averaging 10 wins tolerated Orgeron only because of the 2019 season and now reality has set in.

Winning consistently is hard.

I don’t agree with this at all. If you like football you will keep watching and cheering. Most won’t admit it, but we all know that your team won’t go unbeaten every year. The thrill and pageantry will still be there.

“Championship or bust” mentality is bad for the 100+ schools that don’t win it in whatever year

I think Scott Stricklin ruined college football. Because ever since we brought that effeminate, dipshit to Gainesville from Starkville. Our football program has regressed into a steaming pile of stinky shite.
