Why are we as a fanbase ALWAYS looking to be offended?

If we don't have representation on every good list out there, we seem to think that everyone hates us or that the poll makers are the dumbest idiots on Earth

i've been following LSU closely for about 15 years.

please tell me that there was a time when we were not acting like the little brothers/chicken littles of the NCAA

Everyone hates LSU.


Oh, and never. Never has there been a time when the fanbase ever not had an inferiority/insecurity complex.

My favorite is when this happens in recruiting. Some kid from Louisiana will be ranked the 7th best receiver in the country, and some yokel will be outraged at the slight. It goes like this:

"Freaking Rivals just ranked Jermario SirJames ahead of Demarius Jackson!!!!!! Are you kidding me!! I just lost all respect for Rivals. They are a joke as an organization."

Keep in mind that the author of the post has never seen either kid play a down. I love those posts.

I think it's because we're a relatively small market

It's just the Louisiana mindset. Major victim mode/energy in the whole state.

I don't think this board is a good indication of overall fanbase

Bunch of whiney bitches reside here, not to mention the "new" fans we have gained last few years

I could do that, but it would be wrong.

Same mentality that mkes us want to ride coaches and quarterbacks out of town on a rail. We believe there are no other programs that can come remotely close to our level of excellence, and that certainly we are never mediocre, and are mightily offended when outsiders fail to acknowledge it or when coaches or players fail to prove it.

I will even turn it around and say that our fanbase is ALWAYS fishing for compliments. They want sooooo badly for others to come here (especially for baseball) and say this was the greatest thing ever.

ESPN didn't hate LSU until 2003 BCSNCG.

Prior to message boards i don;t think our fanbase was so sensitive. I believe every fanbase is sensitive now since any negative comment can be detrimental to recruiting and or how the pollsters vote.

Because everyone's opinions should be exactly like mine. And give the respect we deserve in every aspect of every fiber that is LSU.

Why are we as a fan base a lot of times looking to knock the guys out there playing and risking injury for our entertainment?

It's a crazy world and fans fit right into it.
