re: Irrational Exuberance or Rational Expectation?

this years expectations are much more rational than last year. we have some seasoning at the QB and WR position and in all likelihood the OL will be improved, esp at pass blocking (as a unit). this should translate into a more prolific, possibly a MUCH MORE prolific offense.

also, after the last two years my expectations for the defense are higher. we couldn't stop the run until about midway thru last year and notre dame decimated our D. I think we will be better this year but not as good as the top LSU D's of the past.

ergo, Rational Expectation for $1000 Alex

Irrational exuberance is not your friend when it comes to this coach and this football team. I would caution heavily against this emotion and go with caution optimism.

The LSU graveyard is littered with Rantards and casual fans who trusted Les Miles to put together a complete team that lasted the entire season without a major letdown or meltdown.
