You know how certain teams' fans are stereotyped? That has been the case with LSU. Up until very recently, LSU fans were perceived as the Stiffler, the Spicoli of the college crowd. Loud, rowdy, crazy party fools, going to dominate in any environment.
What are we now? We're acting like whiny, self-pitying wimps. We have a couple Clemson trolls trying to spark some action on these boards, and the overwhelming reaction has seemed... well, you can visualize it. We are laying in bed crying with the pillow pulled over our heads. Clemson fans banging on the door saying let's go out and see what you got, and we are answering "go away, leave me alone".
This isn't LSU. We should already be over whatever perceived snubs we've gotten, not pouting. We should be ready to blow the Clemson fans' minds and drink them under the table, so they recall their matchup with awe. Instead, we're coming across as spoiled bitches.
Remember when we played Miami in 2005 at the peach? We were stoked at the matchup (as Clemson likely will be). Miami fans said they didn't care since it wasn't the title game... let's not be like that.
Raw deal this bowl season... maybe. But we can still remind the other bowls what they missed out on. Let's regain our edge as a fan base and rock Atlanta this New Year's eve.

it's a good bowl game.
We wouldn't have even played texas in Dallas, so there's no point in bitching.
Playing a big10 team in florida would have sucked.
I recommend that the bowls switch the many bowls of sec vs big ten matchups anyway.

I agree 100 %.

I agree 1,000,000 %. The fanbase is WAY TO spoiled and act like they are entitled to something, more than other schools that are just as good.

good point....many here would rather bitch and moan than get it on with Clemsom. in the bcs world, all bowls games are only as meaningful as you make them. the team deserves the game with all it's perks and the staff gets to teach for another month. it's up to the fans to support the program or jstfu and get on with their lives. Clemson will be there....will Tiger Nation?

I'll approach this bowl as I have every other Tiger game for the last three decades: tense, drink in hand, forever entertained.

Screw all of you! I'm excited! Clemson is a good matchup for us and I only have to take MARTA to get there!

LSU fans still have that reputation. It's only Rantards that have the whiny designation. /end thread

The bowl matchups are so pathetic, this is actually one of the more interesting ones.

With all due respect, who cares? These games are not about the fans, they're about the players.
If its not the Championship game, I personally don't care what game it is. We'll get em next year!

Until the fans hold themselves to the same standards they hold the coaches and players too, they will be FOREVER disappointed. If you don't give 100% every outing, don't expect it back. If you aren't perfect, you can't demand perfection.

I agree. We are better than this as LSU fans. Or at least we were when I was an undergrad. We bitch too much. I'm excited to spend NYE in ATL. It was fun last time.

they may have beaten the shite out of miami then, but i assure you there were more than a few disappointed people at the bowl selection.

I'm only disappointed with the game due to the time that it is played. I generally enjoy the Peach bowl. It just kinda sucks because I wont be able to watch it. One of the most memorable moments of my LSU watching career ( 
) is the Josh Reed toe tap catch in the Peach Bowl Josh Reed TD Catch (Yes the video is in HD)
