Our fans vs. Arkansas
Posted on 11/16/14 at 2:32 pm
Posted on 11/16/14 at 2:32 pm
We have criticized everyone from A to Z. We have fired coaches. We have downed young men. We have blamed refs. We have called for the heads of the SEC, our AD. We have blamed Duke. NOW ... let's look at ourselves.
HOW MANY people would have filled up Tiger Stadium for a full game in that weather when our last SEC win was sometime in 2012?
I have to hand it to those Hog fans. They are loyal. They stood by a team that almost beat a lot of people. We cried in our soup when we almost beat BAMA last week and couldn't get off the carpet for the next week.
Tiger Stadium would have been a ghost town last night if that had been our team.
WISH we all supported our guys like those Arkansas folks did...
GOTTA hand it to them. They (although a few were in great need of dental work) stood loyal and supportive to a team.
We seem to eat our own young.
I know because we are all upset that this will draw some really nasty and critical remarks. We are all looking for someone to spew our venom on. We might, however, want to look at our fan base as well...... Our mirror might find room for improvement.
Forever LSU!

The "fans" that attend now dont come when the weather is beautiful.

LSU fans watched from home drinking hot chocolate just like the players did. Everyone... watched.... and drank hot chocolate and sang Christmas carols. It was beautiful, except the arse kicking for 3 hours.

And I can't afford the price of the tickets as often as I would love to go. I am an alum but teachers' salaries are not what they should be. I WOULD STAY ALL GAME EVERY GAME... alas.....

They have a new coach, are going in the right direction and are looking forward to the future with said coach. We have been experiencing ground hog day for the past decade and are a little worn out by it. I think the majority of the fanbase wants new blood now. I have always been a Miles supporter for the most part but I am ready for something new. This has become stale and the fanbase has become apathetic. That is the worst thing that can happen to a program. I saw it firsthand up in Knoxville in Fulmer's final years. They just had an AD who bungled the hell out of finding a suitable replacement.

Agreed. We used to be that way.

I guess maybe you could pick up a job for the 2-3 months you take off every yr to supplement your low income. That should be enough to buy tickets.
That being said, I wouldn't waste money on the less than entertaining product Miles and co. puts out each week.

Arkansas fans literally do not have much else to root for. UofA is the only major university in the state and there are not any pro teams in any sport.
All their eggs are in the Razorback basket.

How is that relevant to how shitty LSU fans are?

This shitty excuse doesn't fly. We are spoiled rotten. I think it will take us having some tough times again to weed out some of the tshirt crowd.

If you win, they will stay

Nobody eats their own like LSU
We probably need at 4 win season to appreciate winning again.

I wager that no 7 year old kids rode a bicycle up to visiting fans yelling Tiger Bait Mother Fu$:)ers.....but that happened in Baton Rouge.
Didn't hear hog fans chanting frick You Saban on national TV...but that happened.
It ain't a classy program and you do smell like corn dogs.

I grew up in a Louisiana college town and the local university doesn't get near the support LSU does, especially outside the community. LSU is THE major program in the state and none of the other schools are even in the conversation. Lots of alums of the local university root for LSU even if they have no connection to LSU. So the U of A being "the only university in the state" excuse doesn't fly.

I stay the whole game every game but since 21-0 haven't gone to many games.
Games I have gone to...lots of open seating if the game is over on the scoreboard if not the time clock.

I'm pretty young so I don't recall what games at Tiger Stadium were like in the 90's but I have a feeling they would show out for a rivalry game just as Arkansas did. Go Hogs! Beat Ole Piss!
