    That's a plus, but it apparently doesn't help us win games.

    We're seven and ONE in the second week of November this year. If we lose the rest of our games, you have a point. If we win out, you do not. Anywhere in between winning out and losing out would also weaken this argument.

    The jury is still out on this season. Being an optimist, I think winning the majority of our games falls under the category or "help us win games."

    Agree, but with the caveat that where we finish is more important (but related) to number of wins. I think LSU is (or should be) a top 5-10 program on average, so lately we've been underachieving.

    I don't think any team has a God given right to be a top 5-10 team, but our recruiting, facilities and coaches pay say we should be there pretty often and we are. We just have a hard time getting to the very top and don't reach our full potential at times.

    A god-given right? WTF are y'all talking about? When's the last time we finished in the top 10?

    Well, in 11 years 5 times and twice just outside the top 10. We have a good shot at finishing top 10 this year. How many teams do think finished top 10 in 5 of the last 11 seasons? I see 4 counting LSU.

    You remember that? I said we needed to win the West, or I was going to get restless.

    I am a bit; I guess I'm just holding onto a thread of hope that Alabama tomorrow or during the Iron Bowl will look like they did against Tennessee or Arkansas.

    maybe Dak just goes bananas tomorrow. Maybe the cow bells give Saban an aneurism. Maybe that fat dude that makes the Hail State videos eats Saban.
