This is a thread for Negatigers to post the things that they like about this team. My intent is to show how realistic the Negatigers are and to show some love to the Positigers. We aren't blind to the positive but we are no longer blind to the negative either. I'll start...

-I like this teams defense. The Chief has done a great job of utilizing young talent to bring them along. I have noticed improvements from week to week and I think this defense will give us a chance to win every game on our schedule.

-I like the toughness of our O-line. Strud got hammered during the off season but the o-line is improved. They are tough and consistent opening holes for the run and solid protection for the pass.

-I like Ridley and Blue. They are performing on the field and I don't want to have a 5 back rotation. 2 is enough. Fix some fumbling problems here and there and these guys have been very solid.

-I like JJ's ball control.

-I like our special teams a lot. This may be the best we have been on special teams in years and we haven't really been bad on ST in a while. I feel confident on every punt return with PP back there.

Who's next...I'll leave some for the next Negatiger to give our team some props.

I know we have more open minded Negatigers out there than just me.

The Score was 12-7 after the 3rd quarter's first possession by MS State.

1. Field Goals are money.

2. PP is legit.

3. Defense is legit when not playing soft zone.

Thanks to Lonergan, Williford, Hurst and Ben Wilkerson.Wilkerson has been conducting individual drills with O-Line players.

you won't get many replies. Most of them refuse to say anything positive about the team because it might be misinterpreted as saying something positive about Miles.

I'll admit that it seems like the best players are playing. I've criticized Miles for years over not playing the best players.

Seeing kids like Mathieu, Loston, Lonergan, etc. playing a good bit more than older players at their same position.

Technically there aren't any negatigers. However, there are plenty of negaMiles. In fact, I don't know anyone regular here that is negative of LSU. However, there are also a shite load of Miles suck asses on the rant.

you don't seem to understand. Negatigers aren't going to spew positives here, hence the appropriately brand of "negatiger" bestowed upon such idiots.

What you called for is something rational. this does not exist on the rant. It just doesn't compute.

Amid the problems with the offense, I did think it was significant that, in the one and only offensive possession in which the game had the potential of turning in their favor and we really needed to score, we drove quickly down the field for a TD to make it 19-7 and snuff out any momentum they had gained from their TD.

I liked that, after their TD drive when it looked like we didn't really come after their freshman QB with a lot of pressure, we came after him really aggressively and forced him into making turnovers.

I thought the kickoff coverage was outstanding. I think they only got it past the 20 about two or three out of our eight kickoffs.

It was great that Jasper was money on all five FG attempts, including a 51-yarder.

While Blue's fumble bothered me, it was good to see Ridley protect the ball again.

I like the young talent on this team.
I like our DL, LBs, DBs, OL, RBs, WRs, TEs, and Punter/Kicker.

Have I left anyone out?

That list is too long for a "nega". You have been abandoned by your clan. Welcome to the light. Conversions will be happening every week....
