The new blood wants a team from their era to be the best in history. Barton Simmons, before joining Vanderbilt this offseason as a General Manager, would only claim 2019 LSU as the best team ever. No debate, no discussion, just the best team ever. But maybe he was dehydrated after spending the entire season drinking Coach O’s sweat.
Every few years this comes up, like with the 2011 OSU - before they lost. Then it was Jameis’ first FSU squad. No one remembers half that team, but everyone swore they had a 2 deep full of NFL guys. The modern college football writer spends more time on Twitter than watching games, and their analysis is generally a s’more of ***** and self owns. They have little to no understanding of the game before their era, which would be forgivable if they weren’t so demonstrably arrogant about it.
