re: Is optimism for 2013 football = delusional homerism?

Although I think it's wrong to say the defense collapsed last year bc the defense played well against clemsons offense.
Any optimism I have about the "New and Improved" Can Cameron offense is tempered by the OL because I don't think they're that good at pass blocking. Having Stud back full-time should help, but I'm concerned about the personel there, especially at Center.
As for Defense, I don't care how talented the new people will be. There is no substitute for experience. Doesn't matter how athletically gifted you are, if you don't know your assignments and who to cover. I expect a drop off there. Expect the worse and hope for the best.
Oh BTW, will all you fart knockers please cease and desist with all the whining about the schedule. Wasted energy. Can't do anything about it. Deal with the hand you're given.
All the "Wine and Cheese" crowd and their "9-3 is acceptable" need to get the frick outta here with that BS as well. Raise your standards of excellence and don't accept mediocrity for the State University of Louisiana football program!

How experienced were we in 2011? Our only sr cb was 4th on the depth chart.
Mingo and sam didnt play a lot before 11.
So i dont see where ur concerns are. This d is shaping up to be exactly as experienced as 11. Maybe even more so. Tm7, reid simon didnt start a full season before 2011. Bith jalens are mire exoerienced than those 3.

New starters to the '11 defense.
Did you even know who Brockers and Logan were in august of '11?
Sonic Sam was coming off of major knee surgery. He played less than half a season in '10.
Mingo was a backup most of '10.
One starting corner was a second year player. The #3 corner was a second year player.
One starting safety was a second year player.
A starting LB was a converted safety.
Pass protection greatly improved second half of the season once the freshmen settled into their spots. Cocks and rebs finished #1 and #2 in SEC in sacks, They each had one VS LSU. Hogs got to Mett pretty good. Alexander was trying to play through a leg injury. He was still hobbled somewhat for the bowl.
OL will be older and deeper this year. Tigers played the backhalf of '12 with six o-linemen.
