too much nega-tiger before the season; too much posi-tiger after one game

God forbid the rant be excited about our football team.

TCU is a 8 ot 9 win team, fwiw

(no message)

The always negative posters just go into hiding when there is nothing to bitch about.

what you call "excited" has turned into full giddiness over one game & ESPN giving LSU fans a few scraps to chew on.

Well im not giddy. Our first game was very promising, however. I'll take this over the bitching anyday.

IF they stick with Boykin, they'll have a nice season.

I stick to the food board. There are idiots there too...but fewer.

I just copied this from another thread but wasn't sure if the link would work, so here is the paste. fans are as positive as the coach.

coaches can't think like you or other fans. they have to get the team to play one game at a time and have faith in the moment. clm can't live in the fear that you have. if you have fear of a future game, you can't focus on the coming game.

clm is a brilliant coach. his winning percentage shows that he know a lot more than most of the posters on here. the negative posters don't give a shite about the things that make coaches great.

they care about their own fears. re-read the rants on the scoreboard during the game. assrants didn't like the individual plays when in hindsight we all see it was part of a gameplan.

coaches have to live and think in gameplans and big coaching philosophies. fans that think in terms of little plays are using very small brains to criticize small plays in the whole season.

yes, it is the details, but coaches have to prepare for the future, not live in it and then criticize it.

one thing you might notice about the rant, there are lots of very brilliant posters on here that you can learn from. I realize a lot of the intelligencia have been laying their money on the game for lifetimes and they don't begrudge their one loss, because they have to be on their toes to play the odds in the next moment.

lots of very brilliant players here getting and sharing info. the percentage of negative ranters is almost equal to the percentage of crazies in the real world.

haters gotta hate.

TCU is one of the best teams in that conference and LSU should have had all this optimism to start with.

Teams around college football are down. Something most LSU fail to realize sometimes. Did you not see Alabama versus an actual pathetic team and look very bad? Said all along that Alabama had far more crucial losses to their team with 3 starting O linemen out. LSU just had to replace defense with more talent.. but at least virtually the entire Offense returned.. and we finally had a legit QB who is a senior. How are we not greatly improved? With an actual Offensive Coordinator too. We have all the tools we need now.

Georgia will probably lose again this week and be looking at the wheels coming off by the time LSU faces them.

I'm cautiously optimistic mainly because many of us were so jacked up after the Washington blowout last year only to come crashing down at Florida.
