Why do our fans suck so bad?

We are 7-2 and nationally ranked. We are about to play the #1 ranked team in the country. Maybe I've been following LSU a lot longer than the hacks on this board, but this is the situation that would (and does) have me fired up for two solid weeks yet all we have spewing on this board is bitching and moaning because we lost to Ole Miss. shite happens.

If you were a realistic fan you would know this wasn't our year to really make a run at a national title, you simply can't replace losing so many underclassmen that were starters on defense. That really shouldn't be too hard to grasp.

The younger fans are all too spoiled and don't want anything to do with the team if they aren't in the hunt for a national title, those fans need to go away anyway and if a disappointing season is all it will take, that's an easy price to pay for losing those fans.

Get this. I just posted in a thread where a guy said Lane Liffin is a better choice than Miles


Lane. Kiffin.

Spoiled is the only answer. Sometimes I I wish we could have a nad bad season or two to bring them back to reality. 2000-2003 were so great because of the 90s.

Our "fans" suck, because they are fans of LSU, and observers of Alabama.

They don't follow college football. They check Alabama's box score, compare it to LSU's and compare and compare, bitch and bitch.

If I didn't want to anything to do with this team I wouldn't waste my time on this board.

Hopefully you don't think this board is reflective of most fans.

There were tons of empty seats last night. There's only so much blame you can put on "young fans". But I have heard this down season to get rid of the bandwaggoners idea more than a few times. The problem with that theory is that winning attracts fans without the strongest ties. The idea that they wouldn't be back with a vengeance the next time LSU is really good (which will be quite soon), is laughable.

How does this have any bearing on whether or not fans should be happy with LSU's season?

Young fans that lack a sense of reality coupled with a huge sense of entitlement.
I think they totally buy into the preseason media bull shite hype. Thus getting their expectations set at a much higher level than reality can support. Then their inflated expectations clash with reality as the season rolls along. They then pitch tantrums.

The vast majority of posters on this board were predicting 10-2/9-3 this year based on (a) the schedule and (b) the losses on Defense. Yet, when pre-season polls came out, everyone was crying because LSU was ranked too low (13th I believe)? "They are who we thought they were".

LSU fans need to reconcile themselves to the reality of the situation. When it comes to LSU football, shite Happens.

It happens at least once per year, sometimes more. It has happened in the past, it will happen again. It is GOING to happen.

We will win 80 percent of our games, but, shite WILL happen.

This is the best that LSU can do with football. Stop allowing emotions to control you. Accept reality.

The people in charge of LSU, the University, do not have it as their mission statement to win the "Superbowl" every year, or any year, for that matter. LSU football fans should take heed of this fact.

As for the LSU Athletic Dept, I'll bet that Title IX compliance is LOTS higher on their agenda than is winning the football "Superbowl."

Reactionary fans are the worst. Delusion sets in after Hilliard breaks a tackle and runs for 18 yards. The rant explodes claiming he is better than Hill and he needs all the carries. Repeat said action with Magee

Imagine if you had $50 to spend on raw meat to make a fantastic meal for yourself and your SO. You have your eye set on some fantastic filets, but you let your wife pick and do the cooking. Instead of filets, your $50 bought you and cooked a really really good burger. However, a burger is not a filet and you expect to get filet quality when you pay a filet price.

When you pay for a premium cut of steak and are given a ground beef patty, your hunger might be sated, but you probably won't be satisfied by it.

Started a thread a week ago..."what defines a true Tiger fan"? Curious as to your thoughts on this. I've known a few following LSU for 53 years. The ones I knew & know Love LSU for the tradition & the pageantry that makes the experience unique. Win or lose they Love LSU. It's a different "what have you done for me lately" mentality now with the new generation of "observers" as opposed to "fans".

Dude the young fuks on here ruin it for everyone. It's the same young fuks that are voting democrat because they feel entitled for someone to give them something they have not earned . I would guess that about the same time they figure out their generation ruined a great country they will realize that this shite called sports is for entertainment purposes only and they have no life.

I'm in my mid 30's and remember being jacked up for the Indy Bowl too.

However, expectations have risen. Our coaching staff gets paid handsomely to make LSU elite. We are no longer elite.

Spoiled? Yes. Ridiculous expectations? Yes. Older fans do know what it was like when Hallman and Dinardo coached here. As a fan of LSU in those days, I know I never want to go through that shite again. Hence, the ridiculous expectations.

So you start a thread with exactly that? Makes sense!

no but I think its reasonable to expect our team to beat a depleted, inferior Ole Miss team. Look the loss to UGA was acceptable. Last week's loss and that dog shite of a performance lastnight are not.
