re: No Trust

You won't agree, and you will downvote this post and post a flip the bird emoticon, but, the fact of the matter is, YOU and PEOPLE LIKE YOU are the problem! Saban nailed it: "catastrophe syndrome." I call it the Eeyore (the Winnie the Pooh donkey with the black rain cloud perpetually trailing over his head) "woe is me" syndrome.

It is YOUR fault that LSU football is perceived by some as having a negative fanbase, and this perception DOES harm recruiting, b/c recruits (why, I'll never know) DO read all of this negative crap, and I'm sure other schools use it against LSU.

Please understand, I was not thrilled with O's hiring, and if I were Alleva, would've thrown more money at Fisher, or Herman, or, extended the search. I am NOT happy w/ what I perceive to be Alleva's pathetic "coaching search." ("I am the search.")

However, at the same time, if I am to be honest, I do recall giddily telling my son at halftime of the Alabama game, "we should keep O! This is great!" I was VERY impressed with the team turnaround -- say what you will about Missouri, but to set a record for most yards gained in an SEC game ... EVER .... in a 100+ year span? Coincidental? Common sense says not. Changing the practices (which pro scouts lauded as "best they've seen"). Look, what Orgeron did in a very short period of time was impressive.

Again, had it been me, I would've further negotiated w/ Herman, and/or Fisher. However, Ed O is now our coach, and, I think he has a good chance to be successful, IF fans will just stop with all this negative bullshite! If you want Alleva fired, knock yourself out, write your congressman, write the Governor, the Board of Supervisors, but STOP publically crapping on the institution that you claim to love!
