You're that guy that wears LSU gear but gets mad after the first incomplete pass is thrown and hopes they lose aren't you? I can see you now just yelling at the TV and cursing everything that is LSU.



Actually, just the opposite. I would definitely not be considered a negatiger. I know there is only one midget two states to the east who sold his soul to the devil to win football championships and don't think LSU can do any better than what they have right now.

Hell, people wanted Jimbo Fisher to be the head coach of LSU and he lost three games last year also. Including losses to Georgia Tech and Houston. And they were going to pay Jimbo more than they pay Les.

No, in this thread I am being cantankerous because of the people you described in your post.

Article: Source says Travonte looks good 330 pds and is smarter than he used to be.

Rantard: Oh MY GOD, Travonte is the missing piece. LSU will win NC's as long as he is here and then LSU will get someone who's two or three times better than him.


Then the first game happens and the Tard's world comes crashing back to reality and this board becomes a constant bitch fest the remainder of the year. It's NC or nothing for a majority of the Tards like it is a god given right.

I think it would be better to temper expectations of LSU's greatness until at least the first half of the Wisconsin game is in the books. And that is not a long enough period to determine how good a team is or is going to be.

I don't know if it is the cajun/coonass blood in LSU fans but they are as predictable as sunrise and sunset. During the summer they forget about the previous year and players lost and somehow determine this year's LSU team is going to be the best ever. Only to become totally pissed off and betrayed because the team let them and their unrealistic expectations down.

They are just like a coonass at work. He is either extremely pissed off or extremely happy (except maybe when he's asleep and I doubt it even then). No middle ground. The funny thing is that this happens EVERY freakin year. Are they not smart enough to remember last year? Do they remember but don't care because they know they are right this time and LSU is going to be the GOAT this year.

It really is comical to me until I have to totally avoid this board for sometimes weeks at a time because of the expectations dreamed up and placed upon the LSU team EVERY year by the posters here.

That's exactly what you are. You're so offended by optimism that you actually said you avoid this board around this time of year.

That alone makes you a "negatiger."

Just because you think you're being realistic or reasonable when you attempt to dampen others' excitement and hope for the season, that doesn't mean you're not a pessimist.



Oh, and this...

Is bigotry of the highest order.

Literally no one said this. People just think he's a great addition to the team and there's more evidence that says he's good than what you are so adamant about saying. Just let it go.
