If LSU makes it to the SECT Final, I'll be happy

I'll be happy when the season is over

:inb4willlosethefirstgame:

What's funny is we've beaten every team that finished in the SEC top 5 except South Carolina, which was a close loss on the road. We are probably the only team to have played all four of the other teams in the top 5 on the road, and finished with a record of 3-3 against those teams (with all 3 losses coming on the road; 1-3 on the road, 2-0 at home). Yet, somehow, this week we have no shot at beating any of those teams on a neutral floor.

I'm not sure what drives the negativity of Tiger fans (at least on tRant). Is it just that you don't want to be disappointed so if you keep telling yourself we'll lose the first game, and we win, then you'll be pleasantly surprised? Is it that you literally can't take the disappointment? Why ever watch any LSU sports ever? Because, I hate to tell you, almost every year in every sport, we will NOT win a national championship. That's pretty much how life works when you have 120+ football teams, 300+ basketball and baseball teams, etc. all vying for a title.

Man, y'all must be some pretty miserable people to be around. Is your own self-esteem tied to whether an LSU sports team wins a national championship?

Certainly LSU has a chance. They're capable of, and in fact have, beaten every opponent except UT whom they might face on their way to a championship. Nonetheless, to opine that LSU has no realistic shot based upon they way that have been playing is not unrealistic or "negative"

3 weeks ago LSU was in 1st place with a legitimate shot of winning the SEC. Since that time, they lost to Bama at home. Though that wasn't a killer loss. They then followed that up by essentially quitting and getting blown out by UT and Ark when they still had so much to play for. Their last 3 games were two wins where they played well for a while then almost choked away big leads, and a complete arse-kicking at UK. You could argue that LSU is playing its worst basketball in 2 months going into this tournament

There is a difference between negativity, reality, and blind optimism. Some can't figure that out.

I hate all you spineless, pussy having mofos. If you want to bitch and moan and say we will be one and done, how about look foward to baseball, football, and softball. Hell even keep up with Gym and Rugby. Don't watch the tourney or the NIT.

Being an LSU faithful we should always be blind optimist .

Ya momma

Ain't happening.

Underachieving is what causes my negativity. If we were playing to our max potential and still lose, I'm fine with that.

But I'm not fine with underachieving, either from the players or the coaching perspective.
