LSU has not had a losing season since 1999. In every season of football played this season, LSU has managed to at least post a .500 record. Prior to last season, LSU had won at least eight games in all of those years.
So as far as stakes go, it wasn’t the absolutely biggest, but if you wee an LSU player on this team, would you be the one to let that streak go the way of the dodo? Particularly against Texas A&M.
Yeah, LSU was playing for pride. At the end of the day, I’m not going to pretend I car if LSU goes to some minor bowl that I am almost certainly not going to attend.
