I think LSU fans are frustrated because since we've joined the SEC (the modern era), their greatest accomplish has been beating us. That's why they fill so many threads with that point. If we beat them this year, their heads may explode.

That's funny if you think its true. We have accomplished more in the last 15 years than we had in the 50 years before that. I will acknowledge aTm is a good team and is a tough win. And I think losing Chavis is a big deal when it comes to playing spread teams so this year may be the year aTm wins. Eventually law of averages will work in your favor. LSU has won 60% of the time and I expect something similar in the next few years. We are both recruiting well and if we can figure out our QB and you can figure out defense no reason why we both can't compete for championships. But don't overinflate your importance in the scheme of things for LSU. We would rather beat Bama, Auburn, Ole Miss. I do think because of recruiting you have surpassed Arkansas, Florida and Miss State.
Geaux Tigers and Gig'em. Almost football season.

This is true but you haven't beaten a Bama team or a good Auburn team since we joined the SEC. That was why he said beating us was your most celebrated accomplishment since we joined.

And when y'all rushed the field after beating Ole Miss you made it clear that beating them was still a bigger deal to y'all than beating most teams.
