For those of you not freaking out........I salute you

Here's the facts.
We went 13-1 this season ( best record in the nation )
We lost 1 game to a team we had already beat
We won the SEC West outright and were SEC Champs
We beat the Pac-12 and Rose Bowl Champ
We beat the Big-East and Orange Bowl Champ
We beat 7 Top-25 teams, including 3 Top-3 teams
Everyone was STOKED about Mettenberger and Randall before Kiel even considered LSU.
I know that nothing is certain yet, and I definitely want Kiel to be a Tiger. He looks like a DAMN GOOD prospect. I'm one of the folks who followed him intently since the Arky game when he came back for a visit, all the way through the Christmas-time debacle and beyond. I want him at LSU, and I think it would be a good match for him, as well.
At the same time, if he does decommit, there is nothing we can do. The one thing we CAN do, as fans, is stop this "sky is falling-Armageddon style" meltdown that we are having over the Natl Championship Game and a couple of lost recruits.
We had a GREAT season this season, and REGARDLESS of any 2012 recruits, we are stacked and picked for a preseason top-3 ( #1 in some cases ), picked to win the SEC, and on our way to another Championship run again next season. 2011 WASN'T supposed to be LSU's season, 2012 WAS.
So, yeah, it sucks if Kiel leaves, but we WILL work it out.

<==== guy is not freaking out. Although watching things get nasty here is pretty comical. Without supporting or hating Miles, the guy just cannot win this fanbase.

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

It's hard for some because dude he is the #1 pro prospect that's all I actually want to see Rivers man 6'7 still growing damn imagine him

I am honestly more interested in Randall than Kiel. Not that I think he will be better, I just think he could be exciting on the field
I still hope Kiel comes but I can see a silver lining in Randall

Dude, we lost the number 1 player in the state to Bama, and our best recruit might switch at the last minute. I'm losing faith in the staffs recruiting ability. The class seems to be falling apart.
I'll reserve judgement til the 2nd, but if Gunner leaves, we're going to be in this same position in 2 years or maybe less.
I was not excited and never will be about Rivers or Randall's potential, also reports coming out that Mettenberger is immature have me very worried about the QB position.
Count me in as a freak out.

Agree but it cost us miller because he wanted ee.

I'll freak out in 2 years if Randall and Rivers are the only QBs on roster.

In all honesty, there's been so many flakes, unreasonable, suicidal, illogical, raving, moronic, uncontrollable crying and questioning about "the overall downfall of a program," I don't really care anymore.
I used to enjoy posting on this board but with the attitude of alot of these posters that have come out of the woodwork, I try to just avoid this site altogether. I actually look at the Poli board more than I do the Rant and the Recruiting Board.
If you guys are anything like what you are on this board, IRL, you guys have to be some seriously emotional, miserable people.
Alot of you lost alot of perspective over the past week and it's just downright pathetic.
Kiel can go to Notre Dame all he wants. It's not like it's going to be the end of all ends at LSU. It just boggles my mind the reactions of alot of posters on this board the past week. Like I said, it's been pretty pathetic. ....With the Kiel news, it's going to be even worse and I don't even really care where he goes. I'll stick with avoiding this site.

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.
