I wonder is the posters from other schools on the SECr are truly stupid or if they are just ridiculous in their troll attempts.

LSU is a good job, but let's not pretend they have tradition or are a blue-blood. Before Saban arrived they were Mississippi State in yellow.

I thought it would be twice.
1970--AP #7 in final poll. (9-3)
1987--AP #5 in final poll. (10-1-1)

In that case, your boss is a dumbass. And how much does he pay you to post on tRant all day? I mean, was there an ad on Craigslist or some shite?

quote:People will complain about this, but I'd say realistically, it's pretty true for my lifespan (I became aware of football as a child in the 70's).
Prior to Nick, LSU was a good but not elite program. Not bad, but didn't raise a blip in the national consciousness.
This doesn't address the 57 title, or the period in the 60's where it seems LSU was really good (and Ole Miss was too).
But, yes, prior to Saban, it seemed like our best years were seasons we ended up losing in a New Years bowl to someone like Nebraska, and we did employ the moral victory of getting there and "we played them well".
Best Game Ever for a lot of old-timers was a close loss to USC.
There's no shame in admitting that historically, LSU is good/not great.
That means nothing to today's program, and for proof, you need look no further than another SEC program: Florida. For the majority of their history, they have slid between mediocre to good, and then Spurrier arrived. Since his run, there's no denying that Florida is an elite program, regardless of occasional slumps. When they get things together, they are capable of winning national titles.
So, too, is LSU. 2 titles and another appearance in less than 15 years is proof that you CAN win it all at LSU. That's more than can be said for a lot of other places.

I'm taking it you're probably less than 35 years of age and don't care about anything that occurred before adulthood. I thought the OP was at the top of the idiot list but you're making some big moves here

I do not post that often but I do enjoy spinning up a bunch of L5U fans every now and then.
In all seriousness... LSU is the team I most enjoyed watching Alabama play against as a kid. LSU was the team I most enjoyed playing against and it was always the most physical game of the year.
While LSU is not a "blue blood" program they are in my view one of the top 10 programs in college football. They are also (in my view) one of the top 5 or 6 coaching jobs in college football because of many of the things listed in this thread previously.
To be the best you have to beat the best. LSU will win their share over time, I just hope to never again see a time like the decade of 200 ~ 2009 between Alabama and LSU.
The dumbass said I needed to get back to work so ya'll have fun spinning back down.

You seem to be a very good judge of history, just made a note to myself to come to you for historical perspective from here on out.
Pre 2000:
Check out winning %, NC points based on publications, and big 4 bowl appearances and wins. Basically just check out every single metric, shite even combine Clemson and colorados..

Joel Klatt on LSU. Is this true Tigers? by Warrior Poet
They were a historically mediocre team until Saban arrived, and he got out as soon as he could.
Actually Socrates, LSU was #12 all-time in # of NCAA football victories, and #9 all-time in # of bowl appearances..."""""" B E F O R E """"""""""
the year 2000.
If that is your definition of mediocre, then you really are pretty fricking stupid......

This is a very good representation of where teams lie on the spectrum historically. Couple things that come to mind:
LSU third in the SEC, behind Bama and Tennessee... I don't think a lot of younger fans realize how good Tennessee was for so long. It will still take awhile before we catch them overall.
Regarding that list, it seems about right... Alabama wouldn't be as high if Tennesee or LSU were higher. Note the longterm rivalries, and the closer they are to each other, the lower on the overall list they are: Oklahoma-Nebraska at 4-6, Michigan-Ohio St at 3-7. Kind of surprised that USC isn't higher, since they have nobody in conference above Washington at 19, but then you can consider USC-Notre Dame.
Surprised Penn State is so low, but then you have to consider the schedule; before they joined the Big 10, they just had to beat Pitt, West Virginia, and Syracuse to be the Beast of the East.
Also odd to see Fla St way down at 27, but I guess until Bowden, they were nothing.

Knowing correct grammar and/or spelling is not a trivial issue. It's called being educated. I have a paralegal and a legal assistant to assist me with trivial tasks as well; however, I have to revise everything they do because they do not have a comparable education level and are, therefore, more prone to make "trivial" grammatical and spelling errors. Needing an assistant to write all of your letters because you are too illiterate to do it yourself does not make you smarter, quite the contrary actually. It's not something about which I would brag.

I don't see how past top 10 finishes is a strong indicator of how good a job is now.
Recruiting base, conference affiliation, alumni base, revenue, etc. are all more relevant numbers than past top 10 finishes
