I stand corrected. I was thinking the Saban title was in 2007. It was even longer ago than I had remembered. 2007 was Les Miles' championship team. Still, LSU is a recently successful team whose lifetime record is only slightly better than ours.

Not just the fans.
Watch out for the LSU Thug DB #25. Plays Dirty, then Gloats like a Frikkin Gladiator.

They act no more entitled than we do.

Everybody on this thread who's being so defensive of LSU is forgetting one thing. They chased off one coach who won THEM a national championship and they're about to chase off another one. We haven't even gotten the luxury of winning a national championship since 1939. My point - AGAIN - is that it is obnoxious to become suddenly successful and then start chasing off the people that brought you that success! Not once, but TWICE! (Maybe Saban left LSU because he saw what was coming with those toxic fans.)

If it turns out that Ed Orgeron was let go over internal corruption, I would have no problem with that. Unfortunately, the real reason the LSU fan base wants him gone is because he's losing too many games for their inflated expectations. An honestly run program is the last thing on the simple mind of an LSU fan.

Lol. I'm sure if we won 5 SEC titles and 3 national titles in 20 years Aggie fans would be very humble.

No one is being defensive of LSU - they are calling out your deeply, deeply stupid post.

Own your stupidity, dude.

Also, LSU did not chase Saban off - he left for an NFL gig.

The first rule of getting out of a hole you've dug yourself - stop digging, dummy.

I think what OP is saying is that the media drives a narrative that LSU is a dream job and that every program should just submit that their coach would naturally leave if the LSU job is open. The fact that Jimbo is even mentioned as someone who would leave for LSU is proof of this. It was't THAT long ago that even the coach of a Purdue would toss and turn at night to decide he he should take the LSU job if offered.

We have 2 national championships by the way. 1919 and 1939. We claim 3 but I have a hard time accepting the 1927 one that we claim.

And when has there ever been a narrative that WE are an entitled fan base? We are the perennial losers with BAS. If you don't believe it, just ask us.

That's not entitlement. It's supposed to be motivational.

Sheesh idiot.

It does kinda make for a bad look tho imo. I know the big cigars were just giddy to get him and for very good reason but I kinda wish they'd have left this one under wraps

"Supposed to be."

I'm sure we can at least agree it was extremely cringeworthy.

Looks like Pat Forde agrees with me:

"LSU only cares about winning, and only cares about winning lately. You follow 15-0 with 9-8 over the next 17 games? You're gone."

LSU followed a 15-0 national championship run two years ago with a 9-8 record. Since last season, LSU is 7-7 in SEC games and 7-8 against Power 5 teams. LSU's disappointing losses this season included a 38-27 loss at UCLA and a 24-19 loss to Auburn at home. I knew Kentucky would beat LSU, but I was surprised by Kentucky's 21-point margin of victory.

Florida was a 10.5-point road favorite in Baton Rouge. This is the 2nd year in a row that LSU defeated Florida as a double digit underdog. LSU's 37-34 win at Florida last year was far more shocking because Florida was a 23.5-point home favorite and had previously won 6 consecutive games by 11+ points each. LSU has won 3 straight games and 9 of their last 12 against Florida, losing only in 2012, 2016, and 2018.

A week ago, the LSU game appeared to be a likely road win, but it is now closer to a tossup. ESPN FPI is currently giving us a 53.8% chance of winning that game. Also, it will be Coach Ed Orgeron's final home game, and that could amp up LSU to beat us even more.

You mean a big passionate Southern State school wants to win a national championship?

Why I never....

I believe you're correct it what he was aiming for. The media loves to do this, and a current running example is tu. How they were even ranked playing osu was remarkable. The media wants tu to be in the talk for an NC all the time. LSU has been good for 20+ years and this is something I'd like to see A&M pull off.

LSU fans are obnoxious drunks in general but I would love to have their record the last 20 years. Alabama is obviously more successful but its hard to name another team with more success. You could say Clemson but they're even newer success.

Glad you brought up Clemson. I can assure you that the Clemson fan base will not be clamoring for Dabo's firing if he has a short sequence of down years. LSU fans didn't even give Ed Orgeron a season and a half before his firing was demanded. That's the kind of obnoxious behavior I'm referring to. LSU fans are like heroin addicts who need another hit immediately. We've been going without a thrill since 1939, but they can't handle a 2 year gap. To construct another analogy, it's like the Lotto winning trailer cousin who whines to you that the service at Brennan's in New Orleans isn't prompt enough.
