It was weird to see how important this game was for LSU.

Yup.

Will be our best ammo for a while probably.

Les Miles was carried out on the shoulder of players like he won the Super Bowl. Miles said Joe Alleva didn't tell him he would keep his job until they beat us. Without this game, Miles is fired and LSU is going in a different direction. Whatever LSU status quo is, we kept it in motion. Bama, Ole Miss, and Arky fans owe us some gratitude. We are their Super Bowl. Since we joined the SEC, we are LSU's greatest accomplishment.

There really isn't anything correct in this statement. The decision was made before the game was over when the coach we thought we had declared he was not interested. We were not interested in starting a coaching search from scratch and end up with a charlie strong or a will muschamp type of coach. While I was one that was ok with seeing Miles let go I wanted to make sure they had a plan in place. This had nothing to do with beating atm. The we are their super bowl comment is laughable. LSU views aTm as a quality opponent who we happen to match up well with right now. But they are way down the list of games of importance behind Bama, Auburn, Florida and possibly even Ar-Kansas right now. I see there has been significant improvement on the Defensive side of aTm. Now if you get a competent OC you will be a legit threat in the west.
