I disagree that LSU has a largely negative fan base.

I go to every home game and have been for about the last 35 years and am 50 years old. The group I hang out with consists of about 50-60 life time LSU fans and there is some griping and frustration but never any real negativity. And no one ever boos. I am not sure when the booing started but it is totally crazy. We are in the middle of the best LSU football ever. This century has been awesome and we are now one of the top 5 programs in the nation. So I see nothing to gripe about. Jan 9th sucked and should have never happened. I think Miles knows he screwed up.
But that game is over. It is time to move forward. I think we had a great recruiting class filling needs. We are loaded. We didnt have a whole lot of immediate needs. If Mett is the real deal and we start passing a little more with success we will have many great recruiting years to come. I know TL dR

So do I...but if you dont agree with the "chosen," you're automatically labeled a nega-tiger.
Ive been a fan since most of these pukes were schitting in their diapers and wiping it in their hair. But, youre not going to tell them anything. Wastin' ya time!!!

The 5% that are bad fans just talk a lot more where it feels like half our fan-base.

Prime example of ALTERS IMO.
If not there is no way they want the negativity to continue.

I happen to have season tickets in front of some of the most negative assholes in the stadium. Maybe that's why I hate it so much on here.
If LSU doesn't run/pass for 1st down on every play, score on every drive, prevent every 1st down, and shut down every opponent. Two or three guys behind me bitch, moan, scream, and sometimes boo. It's not like that everywhere but the people certainly exist around here.

The reason this site exists is to permit the expression of opinions.
Some are optimistic, some are not.
Some are informed, some are not.
None are invalid.
BUT, the characterization of fans as being doomsayers is probably pretty inaccurate.
There is unhappiness and anxiety arising form the inexplicable failure to adjust offensive play and strategy on 1/9.
We let an exceptional recruiting class slip thru our fingers for various reasons.
VERY frustrating.
But everybody recognizes we're 13-1 and we're reloading for a possible NC next year.
I really like where the program stands.
I am really unhappy about 1/9 (the WAY we lost) and frustrated at "what could have been" today.
We could/ should have done better.
These views are not negative and they damn sure aren't invalid or inappropriate.

Negativity is Hurting the LSU program. FACT

We have a great fan base.
LSU has become a consistant national football power cause of our fans and not inspite of them.
We have 123 wins since 2000, 2nd only to Oklahoma among BCS schools and we have 3 BCSCG appearances which is 2nd only to Oklahoma.
All of the elite success is due to the efforts of our fans, players, and coaches.
Others can piss and moan all they want, but I'm one freaking happy camper who hopes this LSU football high never ends.

Can anybody tell me who gets to decide which ranters/fans are good ones, and which are bad? And why? Because day to day, there is more bickering between "sides" here than you'd find in a henhouse full of wet chickens. Some of us would choke before admitting *CLM choked on 1/9. Some of us would take a beating before giving *CLM credit for LSU being 13-0 going into the BCS game for the Bama Mulligan Bowl. Some of us are right but sometimes we are wrong. We might disagree. But nobody needs to name other Ranters as "bad" fans. We're all just fans, doing what fans do. So how about giving it a rest.

Not an alter here. Fan for my entire 50 years, reader of this board off and on for a few years. Love the Tigers, disappointed with this last years ending. But never boo the team or never go off the deep end like has happened since 1/9. It was a great year and the last 11 years have been great for the most part. I have paid for season tickets for 30 years, graduated from LSU, contribute a ton of money. But I do agree with a few on here that the minority is the loudest. And remeber these players probably read or hear all of what goes on on this message board. I am sure it doesnt affect their play. As far as our coaching I am not a fan of Miles at all but support the team no matter what. And never boo. Oh well that is about all I have to say.
And just because I am not an obsessive poster More or Les figures I am an alter? He is entitled to his opinion

You might not be negative but the portion of the fan base that post on this website are highly negative. I don't know what percentage that would be but they are very vocal and very negative and give a very bad impression to many recruits. It surprises me the people that can be so negative about everything on here and then get offended that someone will call them out on being negative. You are what you are so own up to it and accept any consequences because of it. At least have some backbone about yourself.

Post 2003, the LSU fan base has taken a downward turn.
Most have no ties to LSU other than being a random fan and have to much access to the internet. It is what it is and is associated with success.
I remember being a student in 1997, waiting in line overnight for Independence Bowl, and being pumped about it. Through all negativity of the fan base, I still prefer the success we have now.

couldnt have said it better.
the problem with the negativity is that it fills a void that Saban left. in the negatigers eyes, Les can never walk out of Saban's shadow. this NCG loss and following recruiting season further drives this home. its a damn shame too. we were riding high on the morning of Jan 9th.
