Even through the down years the past decade, to me we were still had a mystique about our program...just a good season or 2 from getting back to a dominating program.

Maybe it's just the frustration from tonight or maybe I was in denial before, but I don't think we have anything going for us right now that gets teams added motivation when the play us or a since of accompishment from beating the Razorbacks.  That used to be a big deal to teams in the SEC...no more...we are just another average to below average team in an average basketball conference.

When we entered the league I felt that all teams, with the exception of Kentucky, couldn't even stay on the court with us 9 out of 10 times.  I expected to win every game, even road games. And I was crushed when we didn't.  It's gotten to the point where I don't even expect us to win all of our home games, much less a road game.  So when did the mystique disappear, or at least when did it start to go away?

It all started down hill with Nolan's recruiting class of Jesse Pate, Sunday Adebayo, and those guys.  Things have been going down hill ever since.
I said...LSU has often been an overrated team.

That ignoramus Draconian Sanctions said..if we're overrated, why are we ranked higher than you are?

One magazine gave that recruiting class the highest ranking it had ever given a team, the next thing you know guys are ruled ineligible and we are under NCAA investigation.
