re: Is optimism for 2013 football = delusional homerism?

To the OP's question, no, I think there is reason to be optimistic. We played lots of freshmen last year and they now have experience; that is good for LSU. Offense will only improve from last year and that is what has hurt us the past couple of seasons.

More difficult than 2011? I don't think so.


Also, what is up with the TAMU being a powerhouse from here on out? What???? They had a good year last year but when is the last time TAMU has been really good for an extended period of time? Yes, they have a good coach and Johnny Football but gimme a break, they lost talent too.

To listen to some on here LSU is the only team that lost talent while Bama, Florida, TAMU and Georgia lost no one plus they have new players. Please. We all lost good players and LSU will be fine.

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.
