Are you suggesting that we not root for the team to win? Why not be optimistic about what happened the last two weekends? Why should we all be miserable like you are?

As if there's some compelling reason to not be optimistic. Like our optimism influences the games or some shite.

I believe "tamp" is the word you were looking for.

No way. I'm going to enjoy the moment. EVERYONE, local and nationally, has said we're a QB away. They may be right. I guarantee other SEC DCs are sleeping a little uneasy. Go Tigers.

OP, please use proper English. You are asking us to "tamp down",right?

tamp down

— phrasal verb with tamp UK ?/tæmp/ US ? verb

?

[ T ] to reduce the amount, level,size, or importance of something:

I'm optimistic because I have zero expectations. Two things can happen. 1) LSU can win out 2) They lose more and Les is gone. We win either way

You must prefer the negativity of we suck, hate Miles, hope they win (lie) drama of the past 2 weeks. Let the positivity take over for a while. Who cares?

Why? Why not get excited that we looked decent on offense after 3 games? WHen is the last time you saw that on our field? I am taking every opportunity I can to get excited knowing who our coach is and knowing that we are one injury away from mediocre offensive scheme.

Not a CLM fan, but honestly, this killing of the optimistic vibes is beond baffling. This isnt hard to be excited about 200+ offensive passing yards.

He won't respond in this thread. He's too busy shitting on LSU for upvotes over on the SECrant

So you admit that the QB play - the one aspect that every LSU fan has pointed to as having to show improvement and consistency after years of mediocrity is much different, we shouldn't be optimistic?
