With the top recruiting classes coming in every year and the immense talent pool in Louisiana with no major competition for recruits (ok Saban takes 1 or 2 every year) LSU has a much longer way to go before we call it a decline.

This season was a direct result of 2012 recruiting class and mass exodus to NFL. In the next two years, look for LSU to make a run at SEC West and potentially National Title, with or without good QB play.

Sorry, but the decline is not real. Not yet, at least.

If Saban never arrived, you would be a less prestigious version of Ole Miss. At times, college football is cyclical, and at times it isn't. LSU in the 2000s is an example of an anomaly, not an up-cycle. The sooner you accept that falling arse backwards in to Saban is the only thing that ever, or will ever, bring you success. The happier you'll be.





Never change.

The blueprint is there. We have a ton of in-state talent and no other big time program in-state to recruit against. We will be successful again. This isn't Tennessee or Michigan where you have to recruit big time out of state guys to compete at a high level. You also forget Saban wasn't nearly as successful here as he has been at Bama.

It will be interesting to see how this goes. I am a firm believer that Chavis is the only reason this team wins as much as it does (excluding last year because the defense was pretty bad)

I'm guessing he realized just how prophetic his name really was.

And without Saban's players, your national title drought would be longer than Ole Miss's.

Not sure how Chavis leaving LSU effects me as an Auburn fan, but ok.

Well, we did get Saban's players and have won two national titles as a result. The type of success that A&M has never accomplished and likely never will. I am very thankful for that and hope it happens again in my lifetime

Speaking of the Ole Miss title drought, what is A&M's at? I know they haven't even won a conference title since the 90's. Also, when has A&M had a run even close to what LSU did from 2001 to present?

Pretty much. LSU was a perennial also-ran before Saban.

I like this thread. It is raw. It is real. The way to deal with depression is not ignore it but admit it and get it out in the open. I'm here to listen to you and as one who lived through the Bama dark days I empathize with you. God bless.

Telefag, what has a&m won sine 1930?

Please shut the frick up. You're not qualified to speak on winning football. Especially, to a team that owns you.
