Here's some optimism for you.

Our defense is very solid. When we are attacking the offense we are great, I still don't like sitting back in soft zones, but you can't really argue with our defensive production so far.

Stevan Ridley is a really good running back. He runs hard, has good vision, and has great cutting ability. The line, especially the left side yesterday, is giving him creases to fun through. Our passing game showed some promise with Lee at QB. We even brought back the bubble screen when he was in, which seems like an automatic 7 yd gain whenever we want it.

Special Teams are spectacular. We didn't get the same advantage that we became accustomed to in the previous 4 games, but it is still top notch. We can't expect Jasper to keep bailing us out with 50+ yd FGs every game.

Did you see Florida last night? They have issues just like we do. Do I feel confident that Miles will outcoach Myer, absolutely not, but our players have earned, and deserve our support. They are a 5-0, top 10 ranked football team, regardless of what we think about our coach and OC.

Is that sunshiney enough??

The thing that gets me is how we all countdown for months until football season gets here and are so excited but as soon as it gets here 90% of posters start bitching and never stop.

Dont get me wrong, I wanted to shoot Les in the face yesterday and he has got to do something before he loses this team. But football season doesnt last forever as we all know. Right now the Tigers are 5-0 with and outstanding D, Special Teams, and Running game. Yesterday our passing game showed life and made improvements.

I refuse to ruin this football season by ignoring these facts and holding razor blades to my wrists. Whoever is on the LSU sideline will have my support..... as long as they win.
