re: Why was LSU football so bad in the '90s?

Twas before my time, but LSU's run from 1958-73 was one of the best in the country even if we didn't win many bowl games. Remember we were playing Mississippi (who was a juggernaut at the time) every year.

The 60's were pretty decent for LSU. Comparable to the past 10 years, but minus the NC and not quite as as good.

But weirdly enough you rarely finished higher than 3rd in the conference. Finished tied for 1st once, and 2nd once. Did well in bowl games, and back in that era it was an accomplishment just to make them at all.
