LSU's Ugly Slide Downhill Now Obvious to Everyone

Earlier in the season, when everything was wonderful in Tigertown, I wrote an article called, "When Alabama Goes Into LSU's Stadium, The Last of The Saban Magic Will Evaporate." In it I detailed the problems LSU would face after Saban "Came Home" and took the last of the magic with him.

Since that game all that I said would happen has.  Today LSU struggled and lost to a very pitiful Arkansas team.  They ended their season 7-5. Not a bad sounding record, but it's worse than that number.

Their seven wins come against Div. II Appalachian State, a pitiful North Texas, the worst Auburn team in many years, a really down Mississippi State team, a bad Tulane team, a little Troy University team and one win over a quality South Carolina team.

Did you hear that?  Only ONE win over a quality team this year.  LSU fans love to argue things aren't that bad, but ONE win over a quality team?  There is no argument for that.  Finishing one game from the bottom of the SEC has no argument either.  But I'm sure you'll try.

In the above-mentioned earlier article, I said that now that Nick Saban's "Magic" was gone, you would see less discipline.  Boy has that shown up in dumb penalties and more.  Plus I reminded them of the trash talking and a lack of composure.  The blowout losses have shown the lack of composure.  Those too are too documented to argue against.

I also said that LSU would have to get used to Miles usual 7-5 or 8-4 seasons.  I was laughed at and that statement was blasted as ridiculous.  Well LSU, the chickens have come home to roost.  How does that prediction look to you now.

Oh they'll make the argument that they had a freshman QB.  Well so did Ole Miss and they drilled you 31-13.  So are you saying freshmen QB's are bad?  Well I'm sure you'll try that tired argument anyway.

Get used to being an "Also Ran" team.  As long as Les Miles is your coach and letting the team keep these crazy penalties, trash talking and composure problems, you will be in continuing trouble.

As long as Les Miles, whose stupid on field coaching decisions have finally started all backfiring, is allowed to stay, you will be the LSU team we all knew before Saban: that doormat team for all the good teams.

The fall from the top happened more quickly than LSU could have ever thought possible.  The fact that they are there to stay until the end of Les Mile's career will take a little longer to settle in and be accepted.

The magic Nick Saban brought to LSU is now all gone, just as I said it would be months ago.  Perhaps now the truth will be a little easier for LSU fans to accept.  Your opponents have seen it in the scoreboards, the empty seats in your stadium and the crazy antics on the field.  Maybe now, you can see it too.
