Tiger fans from the 80's &90's vs Tiger Fans of the last 2 decades

2 BCS National Championships, 4 SEC Championships, 2 stadium upgrades, and numerous ticket price increases.

In the 90's, lsu wasn't a national power. People would still go to the games and have fun, because there was nothing on the line but hoping for a winning season. Lsu, for over the past decade, has been a team stacked with nfl talent. LSU is now a known brand in the collegiate football world. With that, comes expectations, a different kind of attitude, and the game having more of a professional type of feel to it. Times have obviously changed enormously compared to the 90's, and a whole new generation of fans have emerged. LSU is not longer a losing program. We are winners with some of the best athletes in the nation that most coaches would kill to have, and our fans expect a better product than what was given last night. It's not just that LSU lost, it's the way they lost. They did not even look like they knew they had a game for a week, as everyone sleep walked through the game. It starts at the top with coaching.

I told you two years ago in a very long post that LSU was sterilizing the game day experience. This is what I meant.

I didn't mean fans were poor. It is just that as things grew more expensive but the game day experience was cheapened, fans were going to choose more strictly what to do with their money.

Think of a bar that raises prices while watering down the drinks even if it serves a good steak. You don't order the drinks as much, do you?

Deuces nailed it.

It was once all about going to the game and having fun. The experience did not cost a whole bunch. It was good fun even if LSU lost because we were not able to relate with what we now have as our identity. Now, we expect to win and athletes come here to escalate and expedite status to the NFL. The parking and whole experience is costly. The product is not as appreciated. The people who now go to games could not have cared less 20 years ago.

i can't stand my i3, lol. i wish we didn't have cellphones tbh.

i've been a tiger since i was born, but the first year i really pulled for em, had strong feelings, etc. was 1982, my first year of little league.

we've seen a lot during the last 34 years i've been religiously following lsu, but getting a load of bandwagon fans was gonna happen with our success this decade.

i can understand everyone bitching about miles, i do it myself.

i really just wanna beat ole miss next weekend.
