LSU has a BIG problem brewing...

This season has struck a match in a lot of silent fans. LSU fans are starting to get disgruntled with not only the football program and where it is heading, but also with the University. Fans are starting to boo the players and coaches and while I don’t condone booing the players, it's happening.
As stated in another post of mine, I still wouldn't care if players said don't boo our coach. If we continue to suck, everyone will boo. Think about it... college football is a business whether you like it or not. LSU has gone up on the ticket prices for years!!!! So what does that do to us fans? We now expect more. Hell for $5000 in season tickets, I want to be entertained damn it. If I'm not entertained, I will boo the one in charge. I will not boo the players, but I damn sure will boo the coach that puts us in these positions.
The university charges an arm and a leg for everything. $5 dollars for peanuts, $6 for m&m's, $8 for a hot dog, $9 for nachos, $100 for a TAF membership which the tailgate party is supposed to be free. The beer is free (can't complain except they only open the beer line for a little over an hour), but if you want gumbo, that's $10 and the list goe3s on and on.
I know you have to charge people, but the price in which you charge for things is ridiculous!!! Hell, if you want to get in line, and yes I said in line for season tickets, you have to have given an insane amount of money to the University just to get on the 100 page list that continues year after year just like the expectation of that check written to LSU.
So in closing, if you really want to know why LSU fans are booing, its cause they have had enough, and when we pay so much money for every little thing, we EXPECT to be thoroughly entertained, and we have not been for the past two seasons. Sure you can give me this load of crap about how were are 8-2, but this has to be the worst coached 8-2 team I have ever seen.
LSU fans are starting to wake up, will see if it continues????

you do realize that LSU's current rank in the SEC is way higher than it ranks in ticket prices?
in other words, quit being a bitch

I never thought I'd ever see Tiger fams booing their own players.

We will drop 2 games here at the end if we play like we have against, well let's see, Washington, Vandy, Miss. State, Georgia, Florida, and LA TECH. Hmm, not very inspiring huh?

When, exactly, have tiger fans ever been quiet? LSU fans bitch about damn near everything.
For example, fans bitching about a program that is #8 in the BCS and in a position to win 10 or 11 games AGAIN this season.

im ok, youre the one with the sky falling down on his head.
Posted on 11/17/09 at 10:26 am to W4LSU
not really, at this point LSU is 8-2 and has a chance to win 10+ games. should they drop the next two games, then yes there is a problem.

Here is another problem:
I pay big bucks to go to the game and then I sit by complete arse-faced losers who scream "Miles Sucks" "Lee sucks" so continuously that I don't want to go back.
I spend my whole life avoiding assholes and pessimists. Then I'm gonna pay to be serenaded with their idiocies for four hours ?
The tv looks better and better every year as our fan base deteriorates into negativity.

You mean sort of like the way those doom and gloomers were posting about all the sure losses in the SEC we were going to absorb based on the poor play early in the year?
Do crystal balls only work if they report the bad stuff?

Why, b/c I'm stating the obvious here, people pay so much for all of this and to see what? a lackluster performance week in and week out. Hell, we have the most dynamic QB/WR/RB in the nation and we can only get him on the field for 4 maybe 5 plays???

Yet we only lost one of those.

We contended THIS year. We were in the hunt in WEEK 10. A win at BAMA and we're leading the SECW and sitting at 9-1 and in control of our own destiny if we win out.
How many programs were in the hunt in Week 10?
