Good post, it's been a tough couple of weeks. Just need to sit back, recover and regain perspective

That is EXACTLY what a lot of this fanbase needs........PERSPECTIVE.

It has been a rough 2012 so far, but the fact is, there are a lot of very happy teams out there that aren't even NEAR the level of success that LSU has had recently or will continue to have.

The media, bloggers, and ranters are STILL on a roll about the damn NCG. People can be mad at Miles all they want. Should he have played Lee? Probably, but the fact is, Lee had 7 interceptions in his last 6 qtrs against Bama. At the same time, no offense could succeed with Jordan Jefferson at the helm.

There are two guys blowing up the ESPN boards saying that players are leaving LSU left and right because of some huge fight the team had with Miles before the NCG. Total BS

Rumors of Kiel leaving. Collins gone to Bama. Devall gone to Bama. Willis Gone. Borque Gone.

There are some rough patches, but we need to just blow by them and move forward.

Miles coached this team to a 13-1 record, has a 75-17 record ( .815 ) the best in LSU history, a Natl Championship in the last 4 years, 2 SEC Championships, and is a damn good coach and recruiter. Even without a decent QB, we won 11 games last year and 13 games this year.

Montgomery and Shepard are already staying.....maybe Randle is next?

We have a QB for next season that can actually play ball. In fact, he was likely a starter at a competent SEC rival, so there's no doubt he is better than what we've had for the last 3 years.

We have a lot to look forward to. Lets stop dwelling on the negative, because it only makes things more difficult and it certainly CAN affect recruiting.
