will admit that sometimes when I wake up on Saturdays before big games, I almost have a sense of dread because I know that I am about to go through 3.5 hours of torture of sloppy play, poor coaching and uninspired football. I love LSU with a passion and it is simply painful to watch.


I cheer just like any other LSU fan. However, the OP speaks of the fanbase being apathetic...the reason for apathy is that people are seeing an elite program play a very sloppy brand of football.

Did you enjoy watching the end of the UTenn game (or the whole game for that matter)? What about McNeese? Watching a team play flat and sloppy is not fun...it is frustrating. Am I less of a fan for pointing out the obvious? You people realize the world is a little more complex than that I hope.

The world is complex. Watching football games is not.

I get frustated, I get pissed, I throw my drink at the wall. Tennessee pissed me off. McNeese pissed me off. But I screamed until I was hoarse for the entire game. At the end of the day, if you want to get pissed during the game, that's fine. It happens to everyone and is completely beyond control.

That does not mean it should be the only thing you take from the game. It does not mean it should influence your anticipation of the next game. Something bad happens. You get pissed. You express your frustration. And then guess what? The team runs another play.
