Last Week Everyone Said I was stupid - What's the Excuse now

To add to that: LSU is 8-2, ranked Top Ten. How many times has that happened in LSU football history? Or in any school's history?

 

To add to that:

Since 1936 (seventy-three years ago), LSU has only finished in the Top 10 nineteen times, and that accomplishment is #11 in the NCAA and #3 in the SEC (behind Bama and TN).

 

This talk about Columbia reminds me of something...

The sax player in my high school band got a scholarship to Columbia and walked on their football team as the starting tight end as a freshman.

True story. That shows you where their football program was back then .

 

I'll go one further. I was the proudest LSU fan EVER in late December of 1995, driving to Shreveport to the Independence Bowl, where DiNardo's "Bring Back the Magic" Tigers routed Nick Saban's Michigan State team.

Good times...And I couldn't IMAGINE a decade like the one LSU football has just had. Not in my wildest dreams.

 

On a happier note, Saban just went back to back with 10 win seasons, for the first time in his career.

And no, I don't know why he couldn't do that at LSU.

I just don't know.

 

competition in the SEC over all was stronger when Nick was here.

 

I can assure you, it wasn't anything Bama was doing.

We just refer to those times as the 'dark ages'.

 

Tennessee was better, Auburn was better, Ole Miss had Cutcliffe and Eli, Florida was Florida, Georgia was good. Alabama was on probation, and had some good years scattered in there also. I just think the competition from top to bottom of the SEC was better when Nick was here. Now i think the top 3 teams in the SEC right now are just as good, but the competition throughout the entire SEC was better.

 

I agree, I also think had Saban stayed in BR this isn't a debate.

LSU was heading in the same direction USC and Oklahoma took off to.

Not just talking about counting titles, Okie has gone belly up too many times in the big game , just the over all product on the field.
