Did the events of 1/9/2012 kill LSU's team morale and program as we know it?
That night was ugly, really ugly. Maybe the most lopsided championship game in college football history. You have to know the players, coaches, everyone affiliated with the program left the Super Dome that night totally demoralized.
My question is, will LSU come into the 2012 - 2013 season with their heads hanging and tail tucked between their legs?
There is precendent for one game changing a program's culture.
Oklahoma did it to FSU in 2000. Miami did it to Nebraska in 2001. Alabama did it to Texas in 2009.
It wasn't a title game, but LSU did it to Tenn in 2001.
Is LSU next? I tend to think so, I can sympahtize with the Tigers, and I truly hope we don't see a proud program take the easy route and fold.

The good news is that the players are hearing this and are not amused.

wasnt it you that was saying lsu was gonna be a disappointment last year? or am i thinking of someone else?

They come back hungry, motivated, pissed, etc. and make people their bitch again all year. Anything worse than 10-2 is a major letdown.

Emotions and all that shite are good for about a quarter...then it becomes how well the team is conditioned and the game plan set out by coaches. Both teams have elite athletes, so the intangibles and coaching come into play..
"Never Again" got the boys fired up to work hard in the offseason..it didn't put 41 on the board against AU. Maybe the same will be true for LSU this year.

I mean I think it's a good thing for them to have in their head in May and June when there is no opponent on Saturday to get ready for.

Bringing the deep insight, instead of the usual humor with this post. 
I should probably buy you a couple cases of Natty

No doubt. See my "Never Again" reference. It won't win them the ballgame, but it could push them to work harder now...which can win the game for ya. Unless your coach goes full tard.

Not completely unrealistic.

It has been said that when they're on, 'Bama just doesn't beat you, they can break your program. I don't know, you'd have to ask Colt McCoy about that.

I don't think so. I love the make-up of this LSU team returning. I've been waiting to see what this team could do with ONE solid quarterback. The quarterback rotation NEVER works (UF was dif, Timmy basically played fullback). This LSU team will be sick.
