What if 2012 falls short of expectations?

This is a question for those a lot more knowledgeable on Tiger depth than I am. Expectations for 2012 are sky high, with early pre-season rankings in the top 3. A lot of this is based on a major upgrade at QB, but ZM is an unknown quantity at this point. So what if things don't go exactly right next season and LSU loses say 2 games for a low top 10 finish, out out of the running for a SEC/BCS Championship? Would we have enough coming back in 2013, or is this really a make or break year for Miles and the current high level of the program?

What if 2012 falls short of expectations AND Zach Mettenberger leaves for the NFL Draft after one year?

I assume that the bandwagon fans will be jumping ship and the Anti-Miles Lynch Mob will be in full force. The expectations amongst the majority of this fan base is just insane.

I would agree with this statement if we were living in the year 1988.

There is nothing insane about expecting to win the title this year. Not with the returning players, the schedule, and a chip the size of Texas on their shoulders.

I agree w/ this. I was speaking more about the crew that wanted to fire Les when we were 7-0 in 2010 b/c we were not winning games 'convincingly'.

Then we have the next year to look forward to. This is college football not the NFL.

Expectations in Baton Rouge are always that we will win all of the regular season games and the SEC championship and the National Championship while playing the second string quarterback. Then we fire our head coach.

These will never be met.

It would be very, very dissapointing if this team isn't playing in the BCS title game. They will be more talented than everyone on their schedule and their toughest game will be at home with a bye week prior to the game. AL should be the only team to stay within 10 points of LSU next year.
