Don't let idiots tell you you're a bad person because you get mad your favorite team lost. They are not fans, have ZERO passion, and I have no patience for them.
The moment you become destructive to yourself or others, then check yourself. But if you're just really down right now, no worries. I'm the same way.
The one word I would use to describe being an LSU fan: Joy. Cheering for the Tigers can be frustrating, exciting, infuriating, exhilerating, etc. at one time or another, but the entire experience is nothing short of joyful. Even in your despair, don't forget this. And the people that assault you on here for being a passionate fan are a cancer to this entire amazing, wonderful fanbase. Those that call LSU fans the worst need only look in a mirror.

40% of the posters spewing their vile on the basketball loss tonight haven't posted one time all season regarding the basketball team. Another 40% only come out when LSU loses for a nice old told-you-so.
You called me one of those people in another thread, and I actually felt insulted. I think you should just understand that as passionate fans, we get emotional.
Calling out those people helps NOTHING.

I'm the same way. It's in my DNA. Not sure what the benefits are of being an LSU fan at times. Just seems to be pain most of the time.

Agreed. I'm sick of people hiding behind the anonymity of this site and blurting bile all over players and coaching staff. The LSU staff and players give their all, while most of these negative minded idiots schlump on their couches on their fat no good butts, trying to out-wit each other with droll hurtful bullshite. Go play somewhere else morons.

Same here. Emotional about my teams

It's not just you.
Posted on 3/20/15 at 6:37 am to bayoubengal225
Obviously not just you. 1/9 caused me to seriously reevaluate. Kind if like people who get dumped or cheated on by the first people they open themselves up to.
It's been better since then, and obviously had some horrible, and down right ridiculous losses (last night, Stoney Brook, notre dame/Clemson choke jobs)

No. You're not the only one. LSU sports was all I had growing up. I would get sick when they lost but always remained a Tiger Fan. Now, I've developed into this really sore loser & are reevaluating things. I only played sports at little league level but have followed LSU religiously throughout my life. After a loss like last night, I consider putting all my memorabilia in a box & just moving on. Next day I'm back on the wagon. Losing is not fun. Losing like they did last night was downright painful. Life goes on. "Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains"'...from the movie, Bull Durham.

quote:. Me too. I was just thinking how I can stop following LSU to the point I don't care so much one way or the other. It is frankly a massive waste of valuable time and emotion over something you have no control over.
I find that I am wasting my life and time being this invested in LSU sports. I thought I would get better as I get older but I havent. I've got to stop caring so much but I just really don't know how to pump the breaks. It's almost a bad addiction. I'm about to make myself check out emotionally but not being so dead set on watching every game, going as often as I can and wasting my evenings sitting in front of the tv or at a ballpark just to get pissed off.

I used to be like that, then I hit 30 and wondered why I was so invested in what a bunch of kids 10 years younger than me were doing.
I still care, but it doesn't ruin my day anymore when LSU loses.

Grow up, loser.

Im that type of fan to a fault. Passionate about my teams.
Posted on 3/20/15 at 7:22 am to bayoubengal225
I woke up this morning with a lump in my throat and 30 minutes later than usual
I care too much

I've really got to learn how to care less, what I dread the most is everyone will be talking about this and the baseball game all day today. That's the worst.
My buddies response to me when I asked how I could make myself care less:
"Every time LSU is playing a game that you start to watch put in your headphones and play Hanson music. It'll desensitize you to wanting to watch the games over time bc you'll hate the anticipation of listening to Hanson."
At least he made me laugh

Nah you're not alone. Try as I might I can't help but be emotional in any LSU contest.
Posted on 3/20/15 at 7:58 am to Jaydeaux
I'm a big baseball fan too so last night really didn't help.
Posted on 3/20/15 at 7:58 am to bayoubengal225
It's really sad and pathetic that anyone, let alone a grown adult, would allow their emotions to hinge so heavily on the athletic achievements of kids they have never met.

I think you mean athletic achievements. I don't give a shite about their academics.
Posted on 3/20/15 at 8:01 am to Jaydeaux
It's a game played by kids. I know how ever much it sucks for me to watch them lose, it's 1,000 times worse for them. When I was younger, sure. But now, not really. I'm bummed for 30 minutes then I'm over it.
