![]() ![]() I thought at first this guy Mark Hanson with his The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life might be a poor readers almanac to the lesser road of cynicism and pessimism for the masses. The others, having no reason to live, why would they have any to die?” -Emil CioranĮver notice on most bookseller sites there are only a couple dozen works on pessimism or so, while there are literally tens of thousands of self-help books published every year on overcoming this dark view of life? It’s hilarious all the self-help hucksters who spin the positivity message of optimism and happiness. This is a family.“Only optimists commit suicide, optimists who no longer succeed at being optimists. This team has proven they are not message board whiners. Stop looking for controversies where none exist. Stop waiting for the blow which will cause this team to psychologically crack. Stop looking for the dark cloud that comes with every silver lining. The team has demonstrated this over and over againĭelusional Optimism is here to tell Tiger fans to stop their damn whining. The competition on this team is not destructive, it is constructive. ![]() Sure, everyone wants more playing time, but that competition just pushes everybody to play harder and get better. Because a team is only as strong as it's weakest link.Įvery player on this team counts on every other player. They don't support some of their teammates or even most of their teammates. The players don't have time to create schisms. There is no schism in the team, only among those with too much free time on their hands.

Somehow, this is a bad thing, causing ripples of panic from the most hysterical corners of our fanbase. Instead, we're in Meltdown Mode.īecause Jordan Jefferson is coming back to the team as a backup. You don't think they have internet access? You don't think players can't read what panicked fans were saying about them and their coach? Us against the world is the oldest motivational ploy in the book, but it works.Īnd now, after this brilliant 4-0 start including three wins over top 25 teams all away from home and all by double digits, you'd think the LSU fanbase would be beside itself with glee. This is a team that believes in itself, even when no one else does. If there is one thing Miles does better than anyone else in the country, it is that he builds teams. Who thought we'd be 4-0 at this point?ĭelusional Optimism wasn't afraid then and we're certainly not afraid now. All while facing a September gauntlet of games that looked daunting to say the least. ![]() Coaches getting sick, quarterbacks getting in fights, and leaders running afoul of the NCAA. Remember the weeks leading up to this season? Bad news after bad news. ![]()
