re: Alabama fans.....

JMO but I think every team has gaps to fill every year. When Perrilouex didn't pan out it left a significant gap at a key position. A position where an elite team has to be at a least stable. I'm not sure if JJ or JL are there yet and it was the difference last year and probably this year.

While I don't agree with some of CLM on the field calling I do believe he is a good coach and a good program CEO. It's just the ebbs and flows of collage football that has LSU where they are. Having a dominate team for 5 years in the SEC is just unrealistic; but having a consistent winner is. Which LSU is.

Same for USC and they have hardly the competition of LSU. Just my ramblings though.
