Success breeds arrogance and unrealistic expectations. Honestly, your program with its glorious history and a recent run of success has fueled unreasonable expectations.
Fans view every opponent as an inferior entity that should not only be soundly beaten, but your team shouldn't give up any yards, first downs or points in the process.
Saban is a great coach, but his and the programs success has made some people think that the team is invincible and should beat everyone and never play a close game. There is no thought given to the fact that this is the college game and despite how good recruiting is these are young men requiring a period of adjustment and acclimation.
You just reach a point that you have to reconcile that this "element" of the fan base will always be present to some degree. LSU fans have grown to accustomed to dealing with our group of "negatigers", but most fans are focused on the positive aspects of the program that far outweigh the negative.
