I was raised a Tiger fan in the 1950's and 60's. Then I was at LSU from Fall 1968 through Fall 1972 - Football (8-3, 9-1, 9-3, 9-3 and 9-2-1... A tie, how old fashioned!) and Pete Maravich's last two seasons. After graduating, I would be depressed if the Tigers were losing or lost a game. But in the mid 1980's, I took my daughter (about 5 years old) to a game and the Tigers lost to Miami of Ohio (on a rainy night) but I was focused on keeping my daughter dry and happy. That was when I had my epiphany. Winning and Losing are just results and there's always another game to come.
I don't like if the Tigers don't play well but the results aren't as important as my enjoyment of the game. It's great that the Tigers have two BCS Trophies, six CWS Trophies, etc. and are considered a top program but if they don't make it to the BCSCG for a few years, I'm OK with it as long as the represent well during the games they play.
