Good points and I agree.

Who was it that was saying that this was St. Nick's best team in years. But I do remember reading that.
No use in arguing .
We will know what this team is on Saturday night at about 8:30 or 9pm when it ends .
Get ready for a lot more of it come Sunday morning. The media's initial position will be focused in the fact that it is not a great LSU team. Beating TAMU won't mean anything either. Maybe if we're undefeated after KY. Maybe then we'll be taken seriously. Maybe.
No it won't be. The narrative will just shift to see told you LSU isn't any good. We still haven't played anybody.
We run the table and go 12-0 and the narrative will be the SEC was down. Bama worst year with Saban. Everyone is down. That is the only way MSU can win anything. Total BS.
Our own fans are some of the worst. We fuss about OM talking up their team for no reason and we bash our accomplishments in the same breath.
If we tackle in open space, were fine.........
Don't get me started on the down year narrative BS. People cain't math.
2014 is a great example of the myth of the down year.
LSU loses to State and is 8-4 instead of 9-3
Auburn loses to State and is 8-4 instead of 9-3
TAMU loses to State and is 7-5 instead of 8-4
State wins these three and is 10-2 instead of 7-5
"Normal" would be:
LSU 9-3
Auburn 9-3
TAMU 8-4
MSU 7-5
...but we won those games instead of them. It is just arithmetic. There was no down year. They were "down" because we beat them. Two teams cannot win the same GD football game.
