This is a weird season but that's good for TD.com

Yep, it's been good for business here.

The losses have been epic, we haven't had a Troy-type loss since before the rebirth of Tiger Football. Much wailing and gnashing of teeth on that topic.
We still beat Auburn, Fla, and have a chance at a 10 win season. That's undeniably a very good season.

With Orgeron, we have the mocking "crazy coonass" jokes to put up with, but we have got rid of the "they will never rise above ____" griping that Miles provoked his last few years.

Interesting balance point right now- if we eliminate the brutal upset losses, you get a sense that the sky is the limit going forward. But if you drop in a few more conference losses instead, we have the sky falling on us. We honestly could go either way, which provides more anxiety and excitement than "knowing" we had a generically good/not great team every year with Miles

Troy is 8-2 and probably win the last 2 so they're not terrible.

I don't care if they're 10-0, they are Troy and we are LSU. Losing to them is an embarrassment, and attempting to justify or lessen that is silly. There should be zero acceptance of that. Do it again, and the head coach should be the Tiger Stadium janitor for the remainder of his time on staff here. That's not just for Orgeron, it should be for any coach here.

Exactly what I was thinking. Why can’t you be both? Why are they mutually exclusive?

Movie critics became movie critics because they love movies. But if they see a bad one, they talk about it being bad. Doesn’t mean they all of a sudden hate movies and want them all to suck.
