re: why some LSU fans are pathetic

Fans and players have different goals/agendas so you really cannot lump the two together. For a fan, yes, the bowl is meaningless because every year there is hope for success and you see underachieving. Then the fan removes their emotions from the games which allows them to leave the (arkansas) games early when they see the gap in coaching on the field. \

For the players, it does mean alot...it's travel, goody bags, time in the spotlight if you are on the NFL radar, and it's the last game of the season.

You have valid points....football has changed from back in the day when you could be a casual fan. It's so much more competitive and there's so much money involved. People know, if they bitch, they can get what they want. The internet gets you so much more information, so quickly, that everyone has become arm chair athletic directors.

Tasting titles has changed the fanbase as well. It's shown people what the program is capable of. this is where the entitlement comes from.

I don't particularly think the record has been a disappointment as of the last few years. It's the "way" the loses went down.
