Fan negativity and team performance

The negativity on this board is shocking and rampant. The crowds at the games are disinterested, boring, and unsupportive. Nobody has praise for any player or coach in about a month. Everyone wants somebody fired or replaced.
And our Tigers are trying to play through this? Is it any wonder the team comes out flat? Or tight? How do we expect them to care when we don't care?
This sucks. I hate this for our guys. The team has absolutely no support. I come on TD and other fan forums and all I read is criticism.
Everyone is predicting a blow out win by Alabama. If we have no hope, then why should the players? Then if they lose they will have to endure further criticism and ridicule. If they win they get nothing but second guessing and what-ifs.
frick you guys. We win 48-16 last night and there is nothing good discussed on the board today.
Y'all suck so GFY and

One has a bigger effect on the other than you're probably willing to concede. (Hint: You can go ahead and flip the two).

The only game that many of our fans care about is Bama.
Of those fans, that game is only important if we are undefeated, or otherwise "still in the hunt for a title" going into it.

Do we know the percentage of peeps on this board who make up LSU's fan base ?
I would not think it is a majority ......

bullshite!! There's a thread about Alex Bregman taking batting practice at 2AM.
He should have been working on his infield though.

Precisely. Little sister rivalry bitches...just like Ole Miss fans are to us.

Anyone with a brain knows miles is here for at least 3-4 years unless HE wants to leave. Now it's certainly reasonable to question things about him and the coaches. That's what you do on a message board. For me it's his intensity. Waiting 4 years to fix our offense? Lax recruiting efforts at key positions while getting out spent by SEVEN SEC schools?? I don't get that. Sorry.

Was in Vegas last week. Had a ton of money on Tigahs versus Rebs. The Tigahs gave me Gonnorrhea. But I still support them.

I'm sure it isn't a ton of fun for the players at some times. That said, if you as a player are playing poorly because the fans are mad, critical, disinterested, etc. then you've really got some issues as a competitor. Who gives a shite what the fans think? They are in the stands, you are on the field. As a player you should be self-motivated to beat your opponent regardless if there are 90K fans in the seats or 1. Plus, as a player if you are going to bask in the glory that is heaped upon you by the fans, then you damn well better be able to accept the criticism as well.

Love the Bregman thread. We should have one each on here for Landry, OBJ, Mett, the OL, and yes the defense.

This reflect the play on the field.

Um, because we are providing them with tens of thousands of dollars in academic benefits to play a game. Not only that, some of these guys will make a living playing this game, so they better care.

To be honest, I'm surprised there were that many people at the game last night. A ton of people were given free tickets I'm sure, but if you put a shitty product on the field, people are not going to pay to see it.
I hope you were at the game, if not, do you really have any room at all to make post like this?

Sorry, brah. That's why gambling is the one vice I don't have.

You probably got that from someone else.

The players don't play to the level we expect. They should know that so they improve.

Betting on sports is fun, but, for me, only when the amounts I bet are small amounts of money.

We had plenty of hope before we lost to Ole Piss. Was that our fault too? Should we have prepped more during Ole Miss week? Maybe there weren't enough stat threads to break down the game. Maybe there weren't enough
that week. It was Furman, and it was 20-16 at Half time. 20-16. Furman.
The defense is going to get dismantled, so the players shouldn't have hope. Neither should you.

Thank you for your time. Both Aleva and Miles will take what you've said into consideration.....and after much discussion, their response to you is this
and the customary

at the les miles fans blaming the fans for the team being sloppy and unprepared. If we were all supportive and went to practices and cheered at practices les would have the team motivated and he wouldn't screw the pooch on basic clock management and game management.
