re: Orgeron: It's going to look different, because it is different

Yep.
Here's the sequence

Hold terrible expectations

Exceed those expectations

Claim the program is not meeting expectation


That's a rantard for ya

So wait a second. They're talking about their expectations going into the season. Coach O exceeded those expectations and the negas are livid. They want an apology and for someone to be blamed. How dare coach O outdo the negas lowered expectations. I get it now. They hate being proven wrong.

No one is clinging to anything. We just expect all of this potential energy to be turned into kinetic energy. To do that we have to at least be competitive vs Bama this year.

Last year’s potential energy was 6-6 to 7-5 but the kinetic energy produced 10-3. Your post in no way answers why a handful of y’all are relentless in your negativity

I don’t think your answer is the right point, though his kinetic/potential energy analogy is bizarre

The 6-6/7-5 projections were mostly before Burrow signed and frankly it very reasonable, w/o JB we probably don’t do better than 7-5 (and it’s 9-3, 10-3 is counting a Bowl you’re not in the 7-5). I thought 8-4 was what we’d do last year so we did better and a top 10 finish is great.

The problem with is kinetic vs potential energy nonsense is ITS FREAKING MAY. The season doesn’t start for 4 months we don’t play Alabama again for 6. What does he want or think this “kinetic energy” should be at this point

I’ve been a huge O skeptic and frankly share the view that I’m not sure he’s capable of getting us back to elite contender status. But that doesn’t mean everything thing he does or has done is bad. This off season has been better than last. Recruiting does seem a lot better. There is reason to be excited about this upcoming season. Right now I think 10-2 is very reasonable. As for Alabama, of course that’s one of the the losses I’d expect, we’ll see if we can be “competitive” with them or not. Until the game actually happens we don’t know how it will go. Just because we were shut out last year doesn’t mean we will again. If we get blanked again then bitch about it until then let’s just see what happens

I've only explicitly stated my expectations a half dozen times ITT. I can't help if you can't read.

So if we only get 10 next year, you agree that that is not worth of praise as some extraordinary accomplishment, right? It is the bare minimum that should happen, right?

I'm following the thread just fine. The moron has backed himself into a corner and is too moronic to know it.

You need to try a different insult.

You have a real problem understanding that some people use the word expectation as something that you are estimating should happen, regardless of if you think it will happen.

“ The expectations were low was because of O himself”

Well, when you suffer a historic loss at the hands of a West team you normally handle easily, take an embarrassing loss to a Sun Belt team, and wimp out in a bowl loss that can lead to lower expectations. Throw in the Canada cluster and the hiring of coach E and we can easily see how those looking from the outside might see 7-5 or 8-4. And it might have been exactly that if Coach O hadn’t gone out and gotten Joe.

LSU football has plateaued at the 9 to 10 win level since 2012. No matter the coach or the OC, it appears that we have been unable to be truly competitive in winning the West, besting Bama, or producing the O we all want.

Three years after a coaching change, I had hoped we would see substantial evidence of LSU becoming more competitive in all of those areas. Maybe this year we will.

Top criteria, trying to convince posters that a 10-2 season isn't a great season

Great season? No.

In that case Les Miles averaged a great season for his career at LSU yet people still call him a buffon. What would you say about those folks?

Ok, you don't want to answer,

Ive already answered this a half dozen times

10-2 floor, 1112-0 ceiling

9-3 disappointment

10-2 would be a great year for LSU, 12-0 would be xcellent.
