Not saying we should have, but that we had the potential to do so. The football landscape is much more balanced than in the Bowden-Osbourne days...

I'm wondering why being in the POSITION to do that is a negaive

Because there's a significance difference from phrasing it, "How many times during the Miles' era has LSU been in a position to play for a national title?" and "How many titles has Miles left on the table?"

The former sounds positive, and promotes the fact that LSU has, year in and year out, been one of only a very small handful of teams with legit shot at playing for all the marbles down th stretch. The later makes you sound like a fricking moron.
