I've lost any anxiety or emotion regarding LSU football. It's a really strange feeling. Don't get me wrong, I will pull for them against Arkansas and I'll watch every play. I hope we win and go to the Peach Bowl and destroy an ACC team. The offseason will be very different if we do.

I've been a die hard LSU fan for all my life and I follow them through good years and bad. My point is just that it feels weird to approach a game with no sense of nervousness or fear of losing.

I can only imagine what the players are feeling. Actually, I would not be surprised if we lost. I hate that feelng.

Just thought I'd vent a little. It's kind of depressing, actually.

I want what you're taking because I'm a nervous wreck during the games.

I know what you mean... total apathy. It's horrible. It feels like somebody you really loved just died...well, maybe that's a little dramatic

We will be a much improved offensive team next year. You can bet on that. Defensively I hope we make a change in coaching so we can play a more aggresive style and put pressure at the corners.

This is exactly the emotions the players are exibiting. I think the Alabama game sucked the life out of a group of players and fans who had become accustomed to playing meaningful games for championships at the end of the season.
The team , and the fanbase , will need to get hungry again , overcome adversity , and play with passion to regain that feeling.

you'll get hooked again...no one ever loses the anxiety entirely....but my being thrown out of the ole piss game for having a bottle of jack has soured me on the whole experience....the "informant" was a stiff, tweed jacketted a-hole without any emotion or understanding of the experience of tiger football....i'll leave the stadium to those ahs ---and in a couple of years it will be as quiet as an episcopal high school football game

Same here. Not looking forward to bowl game and I remember being so pumped when Saban took us to the Independance.

Kinda like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman - after having the Penthouse and all, hard to go back.

I knew something was wrong when I had no problem watching the evening games following the loss to Ole Miss. Usually I'm so upset that I have to stop watching football for a day or two.

Me too .. it started during the Troy game. I didn't go so that my husband & son could bring a friend ... I was at home listening and just kind of resolved myself to the fact that we were going to lose and was like "I'm over it" .. which was REALLY weird ... I've NEVER felt that ... oh, except during Hallman and last years of Dinardo!
