Predicting future performance is a difficult task for everyone. I hope I am in the middle somewhere....blind optimism and extreme negativity on things you have no control over seems to me like insanity.
If you are optimistic or negative on the things you can influence, then your mindset will have a powerful effect on outcomes because your positive or negative feelings will effect your actions.
Nobody here is making a tackle or throwing a pass. Everyone to some degree lives vicariously through their teams. Many do this to an unhealthy degree, others for entertainment, social,and business reasons.
I haven't had anything to drink today and it is becoming evident in this comment.
I did enjoy this win more than most. This football team has come a long way in a month.

Why does a win mean the criticism was wrong, particularly since the QB play was poor and the offense only scored 10 points?
No one was happier than me that we beat Ole Miss. But nothing Jennings did last night changed my view that Harris should be the QB. Jennings did not protect the football (and before someone tries to defend him by saying one of the interceptions wasn't his fault, don't forget the sure pick six the Ole Miss defender dropped in the fourth). The passing game was not effective and Jennings was extremely inaccurate. We won because our running game got us just enough and our young defense played the game we all knew they were capable of playing.
Sometimes fans are right. Beckwith should have supplanted Welter long ago. It's a perfectly valid opinion (and one I obviously share) that Harris does us no more harm than Jennings and has far greater upside and should therefore be the QB now and of the future. At the same time, I am first and foremost an LSU fan and when the offense is on the field, I pull for AJ to succeed.
I don't understand why this is difficult for so many and why each win brings the sunshine pumpers out to call out everyone with an opinion that differs from the apparent view of the coaches as being horrible fans (and conversely why each loss results in the negative nancies announcing for the fifteenth time the official beginning of "The Decline."
Today should be about basking in the win and appreciating the key players (Adams, Beckwith, La'El, Vadal, etc) that won it for us. It shouldn't be about settling things that won't ever really be settled and for which last night served as ammunition for both sides of a differing opinion.
