I always look foreward to football, but my expectations are pretty much zero. Very little reason to expect otherwise. I'm not letting myself get all emotional about it anymore.

Our Athletic Department has made a concerted effort to lower expectations and teach us to appreciate being pretty ok. I have submitted.

Excited every year.

That's what being a fan is about.

I actually told someone yesterday that I wish I would lose a lot of my interest in LSU football. Puts me in a bad mood when they lose, and I waste way too much time on this board. Would be much better if I had the same interest level in LSU Football as I have in LSU Basketball. For instance, forgot that today's game was on until about 5 min. left (and only then because I opened up TD.com.). Didn't care that Simmons fouled out, and just laughed it off when they ultimately lost.

The two natties and the great 2011 team continue to keep my interest at a high level. But if this year's recruiting class falls apart, and/or we finish 8-5 next year, that's it. Until then,

By the time next season rolls around I'll be excited about college football but not especially optimistic about LSU making the playoffs

Indifferent.
It's a healthier way to be.

My boundlessly naive and optimistic soul is always excited to see the purple and gold commence a new campaign. My mind isn't so easily deceived. It points to a rich body of evidence which suggests that the most likely result under Miles is another multiple loss season without a title.

I thus have irrational hope.

I'm always excited to watch the tigers play. However, I never buy into the media hype. I keep my expectations to a realistic level. No team is ever that great or that bad.

I love Les Miles as a person. He honestly isn't the greatest coach out there. I'm ashamed of the way the AD and university handled the end of this season.

Miles can't change the offense as he doesn't see an issue with it.

there's a lot of things to be excited about.

1) LF
2) maturing QB and WR's
3) improved secondary play

my overall feeling is one of being cautiously optimistic. our weaknesses definitely hold me back from forecasting any better than a 10 win year and second place in the SEC west.

1) no LBers. this is disgusting. Chavis fricked us here but damn it our HC should have been more proactive in recruiting backers.
2) OL. if we lose 3 guys we will, once again have a very young OL.
3) game preparation. offensive coaching staff just doesn't seem to have it. I blame Cam but who the hell knows. we seem to "waste" the early season games and just try to secure victory instead of also trying to get the O going. sometimes I think Miles tries not to show future competition anything but in reality is just not allowing the offense quality in game reps necessary to execute the passing game later on in the season.

in summary, I think we'll have a "pretty good team" that has some shining moments.

but, our negative fan base is gonna kill all the excitement.

All three, but, I am schizophrenic.

And so am I.
