Where did all the negativity go? It's amazing

Last year at this time, we started 0-2 in conference and could have easily lost to Wisconsin as well. People were saying Jennings was arguably the worst QB in SEC history and Miles' dinosaur playcalling was squandering the skills of our talent. Our offense only averaged 13.6 PPG in SEC west play.
Now, the more talented QB is starting, we are undefeated by getting revenge on two programs that dominated LSU last season. Fournette is also so good that it's a national argument in the world of sports if he should sit out like Jadeveon Clowney three years ago. The publicity from #7 by ESPN, CBS, etc. is a huge promotion to our program, and he's not the only good player on the team. We're in a great position right now with all our goals in front and in reach, not in just football but basketball and baseball as well.

Winning and exciting players solve things.

New seasons always bring with them renewed hope.

I don't get it. Are you asking for more negativity? Are you suggesting that there was no reason to be negative last year? Are you saying that Jennings was a good quarterback? You lost me with this.

Is Jennings still the QB?

They will be back. Laying low like a lion waiting to pounce on its prey.

Not so fast my friend.
Long way to go.

No, I was just happily noticing the change in attitude of the Rant because it wasn't like this a year ago. There were plenty of reasons to be skeptical last season, but the inexperience had a lot to do with it.. A year of returning experience has put us in contention. I wasn't implying anything about bringing negativity back

This is exactly why I support linking your self-worth and emotional well-being to a team's performance. There are so many other things you could link it to but a lot of those other things don't have sausage or foil, and this has lots of both.

If LF gets less than 150 yards in any game...watch out for the negatigers to resurface.

Oh, places. Might go back there. They were nice, those people.
I tried to turn their village into a living The Rant as a social experiment. It really is amazing to see how long the intestines are when you stretch them out all the way.

Winning the 3 games like we did quiets alot of people. I know I am one of the most negative nancy's when it come to Miles and his strategies, and I am even quiet right now.

well none of these things are relevant anymore, so the negativity has been put to bed.
That was easy.

that still gets said even though it's Cam who calls the plays

Look, I like where we are. But let's also be realistic. We're one missed FG away from a disappointing start. The Auburn beat down was great, but now it turns out Auburn stinks.
We're now in the weakest part of our schedule and so it all looks rosy. We've looked good so far, but November is when we really see what we are.

I guess I don't get the mentality of some people that think either you proclaim that LSU is going to win the NC every year or cheer a mediocre season or you are not a true fan or "negatiger".
I think it's OK to discuss areas that need improvement or what maybe should have been done in a certain situation. I'm pretty sure that doesn't make you a bad fan. I'm very optimistic about this season, but there's a lot to clean up as far as penalties, missed assignments and improving the passing game. This team is not a NC contender "yet" as far as I'm concerned, but they are making strides in that direction. I like Harris' progress. Fournette is a straight up monster. We have stud WRs that I would like to see utilized more. If we were able to get them more involved teams would no longer say "stop Fournette and you stop LSU". Instead it would be choose the manner of your defeat.
If we can do this I think we will be unstoppable. Can we win the way we are going? Sure. But, I want this team so bad arse that when LSU hits the field, teams tremble at their approach.
