LSU's poor performance and loss in the 2018 Citrus Bowl was no surprise to LSU fans who are objective when analyzing the football program. The team was poorly coached and it showed. The team was not ready to play and showed the same problems that existed under former coach Les Miles.
LSU lacked the ability to rush the Notre Dame quarterback when it was necessary and their offensive pay calling when LSU was inside of Notre Dame's two yard line was vintage Miles running left and right off center into the heart of the Irish's defense and being stuffed. They then had to settle for three field goals and missed on two of them.
This writer in a commentary dated 12/3/2016 expressed the opinion that LSU should have hired a head coach with a proven winning record instead of coach O. Who ever was responsible at LSU for making that decision was not football savvy and acted irresponsibly in doing so. As a LSU follower for over 50 years this writer has a hard time looking forward to next season.

Barack Obama: The Most Admired Man In America In 2017
The Gallop Poll found former President Barack Obama the most admired man in America in 2017. It was the 10th straight year of such honor to the former President. It is really not surprising to those who follow politics and the real news. The former President has accomplished much for the country and its people while in the White House, the U.S. Senate and as a civilian last year.
The same poll found Hillary Clinton as the most admired woman in America in 2017. It was the 16th time of such honor for her and like Obama justly earned that came from their peers. Both were true public servants who put the country, its institutions and its people first. The poll is a rebuke to the negative political atmosphere created in 2017 by President Trump and his year end anemic approval rating of only 32%.
Trump, the ego driven President is in all probability boiling over the poll that bestowed the honor on Obama and Clinton and no doubt will continue to pass the buck of blame to them every time something negative happens on the trumpet man's watch. But Obama and Clinton know how to defend themselves and as civilians will continue to do and provide those ideas that really matter and make a difference for the country and its people. And that really says it all.
