It's because of Alabama's success under Saban.

Period.

As an LSU fan who has talked irrational idiots off the ledge my whole life, I will admit wholeheartedly this is true. But honestly, it was the same offense with the same shitty QB play with zero substitutions or adjustments.

What did you expect from us? If we'd have made a FG to win it at the end, the melt would be almost the exact same as what you're seeing now.

I'd guess it's that, coupled with a few disappointing losses in recent years.

Still, this isn't exactly a low period for LSU football. It's been very successful overall for a while.

This. And it's two parts.

One: Alabama's success. LSU has been good but in the shadow of Alabama. Even Auburn--with its lower lows--managed to reach the top in this time frame.

TWO: It's under Saban, the guy who brought LSU to national prominence. It's tough enough to watch a rival succeed (read: Auburn in 2010) . . it'd be another matter to watch Saban go to (say) Tennessee and reel off 4 titles.

That's gotta suck and it dominates the LSU psyche.
