It really comes down to attitude: can you enjoy being in the top 10%, or are you compelled to unhappy about being in the bottom 99%?

i'm compelled to call a spade a spade, even if it sucks to have to admit as an LSU fan that, FOR EXAMPLE, the program isn't very good right now, the coach isn't great, etc.....

some of you need to realize that a criticism doesn't mean a lack of fandom, no more than overzealous fandom makes you a great fan.... we are all of differing walks of life, points of view, and experiences, and just because i don't have the same "rosy" outlook as you, and you don't have the "bleak" take on things that the next person has, doesn't mean we aren't all fans of the same program....

Okay, so let's assume for the moment that you are correct on all counts. The program isn't "very good"; is it "good"? If it is "good", why would you choose not to comment on the fact that it is good? Why is the fact that it is "good" and not "bad" worth commenting on? And the coach is not "great", but is he "good"? If he is "good", then same questions. And if he's "bad", then how do we keep winning and succeeding more than most other programs do? LSU has a better record, more tournament appearances, and more NBA players under CJJ's tenure than most of Div. I. How would a "bad" coach achieve that much?

It is hard to give much credibility to someone who claims to really love LSU when they are so eager to stress at length every conceivable negative about the program but so hard pressed to show any joy at any of the success.

Another way of looking at it is this: why would you not be at least as eager to find positives in an LSU loss as you are to find negatives in an LSU win?
