Reader for years, first time contributor...

LSU beats ND and the fanbase will say blah blah whatever, ND sucks. Were supposed to beat this team.

LSU struggles or (god forbid) loses, Miles gets roasted and we get a weeks worth of send off letters in the newspaper.

I'm a glass half empty kinda guy. LSU could win by 50, but unless one of the QB puts up 250 and 55%+ completion, I wont be satisfied.

Anyone else feel like this Boo Boo Bengal??

The vocal minority; most fans can actually enjoy winning a bowl game, despite what you read on the rant.

If LSU loses, Miles will deserve criticism. That's just part of being a football coach.

It depends on how they lose. At least it does for me.

There's a saying: "Some games you lose. Some games the other team wins."

Example:

LSU/Bama 2013: Bama won
LSU/Bama 2014: LSU lost

I think that's what frustrates most of the "negatigers."

Nope. Only the weak minded are unhappy with win.

No way this is going to be a close game, it will be a QB shite show from both teams! But the LSU offensive game plan will be to run wild against ND's crap rush defense, and why wouldn't it be?

No team in the country would want to face LSU with 3 weeks to prepare... Chief will have this game sowed up!

LSU by 21+

You answered your own question... as many LSU fans see it, but others don't state it this quantitatively.

Fact: We should beat ND and do it convincingly.

We should use our bread and butter, out of the I and mix in easy pass plays here and there. Throw in an zone read and a sweep and we will be winning and looking good doing it.

That would be winning and also building/ developing the QB at the same time. I think you could find your "win" in that lose/ lose situation.

Thats how a Positiger should reply. But for Boo Boo Bengal's like myself (formerly known as a negatiger) its our duty to correct your misplaced optimistic outlook

Ill take Golson over jennings and (sigh) harris. Harris has all the physical tools, but doesnt seem to be there mentally, yet. Hopefully that changes by next season but it wouldnt surprise me if it didnt

Sounds like you are familiar with our fanbase.

They have some who will say that. I just want to beat ND. I don't care how or what we look like I just want to win.

One game won't fix the problems I see with our offense so if we come out and look like a dynamic offensive team I won't get too excited about it...I may be more optimistic for next year though.

We're favored in like 90 percent of our games. So by that logic, they're almost all "lose/lose".

A bowl win is a plus
a win over Notre Dame is a plus.
A loss is a negative

Just like any game, we'll have an opportunity to win or lose. I, for one, will be happy with a win.

The 2012 Golson was very good, but this yeah his turnovers is what ruined the season for ND.

I think some are lose/lose situations, but most are not. The sec games imo are all important. Those wins are a big deal for our program. Games like Wisconsin this year was a lose/lose.
Some positigers convinced themselves Wisconsin was elite and that win should catapult us into the elite tier, but that was far from reality. But us Boo Boo Bengals knew that wisconsin was a fraud. And even better, if that fraud team played that fraud rb in the 2h, they would have exposed our fraudulent defense.

For this game against ND, I think a loss would weigh significantly more than a win

I'll be happy with a win...no matter how they get it. This doesn't mean I will be happy with every phase of the game. Winning is really the whole deal for me. Losing flat out sucks.
