Did you know that they were that good to win the championship before the football season?
Could you see LSU winning the BCS National Champion in 2007 in the summer of that same year?
Strangely
enough the word going around tiger town back then was that the LSU football fans were telling
each other. That the LSU football team has put together a very strong
offensive line with depth. And also everyplace else on the 2007 football team was
strong.
That this could be the year?
That this could be the year?
The point of that talk within the fighting tiger faithful
was that if LSU had the right stuff up front on the line of scrimmage. Than the 2007
LSU team had a great chance to win them all. The reaction back then to that
insider tiger talk was ok, so let's just wait and see.
Because
the LSU tiger football fans have heard that kind of talk before about the LSU
line. Only to see the other college football team out shine the Purple
and Gold. As LSU would then need to go play in the second best college Bowl game at the end of the
college football season. And 10 - 2 was a good college football season but still no SEC Championship cigar.
The
big men up front were the backbone of the football team, and if your team had
it up front then you were really into something very good. But dreaming and
hoping was not the same as truly having that ability in truth on the college
football field.
Nick Saban went to coach for the Miami Dolphins and then
over to Alabama Crimson Tide. And all of the LSU tiger nation were feeling
frustrated from a long line of bad breaks that seemed to keep the SEC
championship just away from the LSU family fingertips since Saban left LSU.
LSU did win the 2007 BCS National Championship and all was once again heaven on earth in tiger town Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
LSU did win the 2007 BCS National Championship and all was once again heaven on earth in tiger town Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Now in 2014 I am hearing the same kind of talk from the LSU
tiger insiders that really know a thing or two about what a championship
college football team look like. Could in fact the LSU fighting tiger football
fan be on the threshold of another SEC Championship for this LSU college football team in 2014, and don't know it?

LSU signee Travonte Valentine gets test score needed to

Travonte Valentine earned the test score needed for the
6-foot-3, 335-pound defensive tackle from Hialeah, Fla., to play at LSU.
Valentine had selected LSU over Miami
before he signed a national letter of intent in February.
Buthis status remained uncertain until he recently scored a
19 on the ACT.
"When I got my score I was so excited," said
Valentine, a senior at Champagnat Catholic. "This was the last big hurdle
for me. Now I can focus on achieving my dream, playing at LSU. Everyone has
been so supportive and I'm glad I came through for them."
