There's nothing worse than the negatigers on here with this shite:

I hope I'm wrong, but I think Florida wins 57-3 today.

I hope I'm wrong, but we suck and finish the season 8-5.

I hope I'm wrong, but we are too shitty to compete in the SEC.

Do you think prefacing your dumb arse comments with a "I hope I'm wrong" makes you a fan?

I really hate the "I hope I'm wrong" or "I'll eat crow" guyz. They have nothing to lose. If we get beat, I told you so. If we win, OMG I LOVE DEEZ TIGAHS!

I don't get it either. It doesn't cost you anything to be a biased and positive fan. This hedging your bets on your fandom bullshite is for the birds. If I'm going to be wrong, it's because LSU did poorly.

It just seems insecure to want to be in the position of if LSU does poorly, you can say I told you so, and if they do well, yay I'm a fan of a good team.

I hope I'm wrong, but I haven't been the last 4 seasons. I see what I see.

Do you think blindly following, never questioning, and assuming everything will be alright makes you a better fan?

Nazis behaved the same way fwiw.

Logic confuses the rantards.

It is just a game. Getting angry over a game played by kids is one of the stupidest things a person can do.

Lots of stupid people posting here it seems.

So pointing out obvious major fallacies that have shown up in every game means you can't be a fan now? Give it a rest. I love the tigers. I'm also realistic about what I've seen so far. All the criticism has been fair IMO. Hope they turn it around. I think they can. But if they don't, they could find themselves in trouble. You can't deny that.

Really? So when people say we're going 0-4 over the next four games that's realistic? When people want to fire Miles for us being 5-0 that's realistic?

Being cautiously pessimistic so you have an out for plan A of being a fan makes you a shitty fan to be around, and probably less of a fan in the eyes of the team. Having an unfavorable opinion of the team doesn't make anything better. I'll understand it when we aren't a perennial powerhouse.

How about the 45-50 year old LSU fan that cut in line infront of the 8 year old kid to get an 18 year olds autograph.This is I wanted to punch his lights out just for STUPID purposes.

The anger comes from the sky is falling crowd addressed in the OP. I'm advocating for the "we looked ugly, but we'll be better next week" crowd. I think you are confused here.
