How do tiger fans feel about players openly talking National Championship?

JJ and Ryan Baker specifically, have both been very blatant about this years goals. Neither have showed too much humility. I just feel like it's a bit different than the way LSU teams have acted in the past. I'd say their first goal should be a friggin' SEC championship or how about even a western division title? I do think it is just a sign of the times, and i think it's great that we are fortunate to set such lofty goals. I was just wondering what everyone else thought?

I like it. No team is going to win the championship unless they set it as a goal. Gives them something to work harder and play harder for

No problem with it at all. Obviously to get the the NC you have to win the west and the league. I want the team's goals to be stratosperic.

nb4 SEC Championship is better than a national championship

Would you rather them talk about a winless season?

These days, winning the SEC W is the same as the SEC and usually the NC. I don't have a problem with it.
Lofty goals place pressure on the individual to perform on a daily basis...at practice, in the weightroom, in the classroom, everywhere.

If JJ says it he's stupid and cocky and needs to shutup. If anyone else says it... 
CHAMPIONSHIP!!

It's nice to see a little swagger back in our team. It seems like we haven't had that much to hold our heads up about since '07 until the end of last year (i.e. scraping together 8 wins on '08, many near-misses in '09). If the they can back up the talk on the field, I have no problem with it.

Isn't that what they play for every year? Why the frick wouldn't they be talking about it?

Not a fan.
It's not that I really care about them talking publicly about it, but focusing on what is truly a far off goal.
In my experience, when people focusing on the big end all, be all goal, the tend to lose focus on the little things that are necessary to make the larger goal a possibility.

As long as they make each game the most important one at that moment I am good with JJ saying his passing will make Drew Brees look like a quadriplegic.

I was expecting a few more of these reactions but i guess not.
I really don't care as long as they win. It's all about focusing every week and if they gain focus by making every game a necessary step to the NC then by all means do what you have to do.

So now setting goals is a bad thing.

Exactly... Miles says it all the time we play for championships at LSU.if the hear this day in and day out that is how think it should be.

He's waiting for his 9/25 performance against a Vandy-like and then comment on how good his game was. Quotes don't lie.

If you know what to expect around here you're a genius.

This is CLMs job. The players HAVE to believe they are NC worthy, the coaches HAVE to keep them grounded and focused on details. IF both happen, watch out.

It's not that the talk has changed necessarily, the attitude of the players has changed.
The players seem to have a renewed confidence and belief in the system, and believe they can get the job done this season.
