This should be an absolutely wonderful time for LSU football fans. Another SEC banner is waving outside Tiger Stadium. Another national championship trophy is in the crowded case. Fans should finally be enjoying the fruits of victory. They should be delirious.
Instead, the LSU Nation is being embarrassed once again.
For starters, it's been downhill ever since the Tigers put the beat down on Ohio State in the Sugar Bowl. A pitiful crowd of 25,000 (Florida had 50,000 the year before) gathered to celebrate LSU's national championship. By most math accounts, even in Louisiana, that's a cool 67,000 fewer people than showed up for Alabama's spring football scrimmage. And they call their program big-time.
Meanwhile, major problems continue to follow LSU's heir apparent at quarterback, Ryan Perrilloux, who is in the headlines more than another proud Louisiana product, Britney Spears.
LSU's recruiting took a hit in 2008 and I'm sure it had to bother fans to watch Alabama -- with Nick Saban at the helm -- take home the No. 1 prize.
But the story that came out over the weekend further cemented any doubt that LSU fans simply can't enjoy their own success. Apparently, they still have "Nick Envy."

I guess the first love is even stronger than we first thought. Les has got to be beside himself... yes he has a ring and yes he makes more money, but Saban has the admiration and respect of the fans. So what does he have to do to earn the respect? REPEAT with his own players.
