re: Even though LSU will get boat raced by Bama it is still a good year.

I think the game will be a little closer, but agree Tua is special and it's a tall task to beat a Saban team w that guy under center- although crazier things have happened and that atmosphere will be a factor. That and what may be the best secondary in the nation.

I tried to have no expectations for O. Like the average fan I wanted the splashy hire, but once O was given the job I figured may as well see what the guy does. I think he really needed success this year to lead into what he does best- the recruiting trail. He has done many things to make the program more exciting to 18 year old kids and as long as he proves he can win I think his ceiling may be higher than anyone expected.
