I totally agree

However I dont understand how you cant see how success can lead to ridiculous expectations every year, its what happens to any fanbase.

I totally understand how it can. However, for the people who have been around, and saw great programs tumble, and have seen the lean years at lsu, we understand you can't win every year. I also get how these kids, all they have known is lsu going to BCS bowls for the most part, and to them anything less than that is a complete failure.....they don't quite comprehend that there are about 20-25 schools out there realistically that are fighting like hell just like lsu, and we are no more special than any of those schools except to us. I just take a very realistic approach. We can't go every year. We had a good shot this year, and didn't quite get there.....but i also realize that the program is in GREAT shape with great recruiting and great coaching (outside of crowton and one or two more), and it takes a lot of breaks for a team to go undefeated.

Bama had a great year last year, but were very fortunate to beat tenn (if they had a kicker) and auburn and lsu....the year prior...i'm sorry.....bama caught the west on one of the worst years ever...auburn fired their coach, arkansas was a mess, lsu was a mess, state was bad, and ole miss was the second best team in the division for god's sake.....they simply got a little fat off of some bad teams...and that was proven out in losses to florida and utah....

florida this year is loaded, and the fans are screaming to fire the coach, after all the success he has had...lol...it is ridiculous.....qb is everything in this league, just look at auburn, and it is damn near impossible to bring in a kid that is a no miss recruit at this level.....

so, yes i can understand it, but the criticism is ridiculous. At the start of the year, most of these guys were predicting 7-5, 8-4 at best. LSU far exceeded that, yet they are still happy because we weren't 11-1....and if we were 11-1 they would bitch about not being 12-0.....

frick, just enjoy the good years...
