192...in a row?!

A streak is going to end today.  It is not a well known streak or all that important to many people outside of the Traylor Clan.  But my dad, William Traylor, has attended every LSU home game since October 23, 1982.  Ironically enough, that was the first game I ever attended.

Last week’s victory over Alabama was a landmark win by Les Miles.  With so many questions looming over the program after two disappointing season, Miles needed this win to show the LSU faithful that the program was heading in the right direction and on sound footing.  In season six, with all his own players, LSU and Miles out played and outcoached the Crimson Tide. 

LSU will be 9-1 after this week.  Miles needs to finish strong and build off the good will he has generated this season.  If the Tigers win out they will play in a BCS bowl for the third time under Miles.  Considering how poor the offense has been, that would be an amazing accomplishment.
