No ones proclaiming anything, they asked a question a reasonable question, what you think of Canada at LSU.

I didn't hear anyone proclaim he was our savior. I just think LSU has had such a long stretch of stank offense that pretty much anyone would inspire hope, much less Canada. It's true that no one knows squat and Bams fans haven't been wrong thanks to Nick Saban and his cheating advantages in recruiting for quite some time so I completely understand the "we'll win no matter what" mantra.

I think LSU starts to turn a corner this year though and O will surprise people. I mean people complained so much and expect nothing so he'll almost have to be successful. I think 2 loses this year, but we will not have a stale offense so teams better figure out how to score against Aranda. Better be at the beginning of the year also because toward the end you just will not score much against his defense. It's easily the second best scheme in the sec and could pass up number one bama real soon. I mean let's not act like we have the depth bama does just yet.

I like this post! It's a great example of the general attitude of the LSU minions at this time. Though still optimistic and defiant, you can see the reality starting to creep into their psyche. I think they're finally coming to grips with the fact that they'll never be more than second fiddle to Alabama on the football field....and that's really not so terrible.
