I have no problem with booing Miles and Gary Crowton. Their performances this year are "fired" worthy. However, there isnt a need to boo Lee.

The way i see it, Lee si trying his best out there but its the COACH'S JOB to see he's not doing very well and either make good adjustments or replace him.

I think it is just natural for fans, but I agree. You cannot boo amatuer athletes. Theya re doing their best. If they're not, they'll be benched. Honestly, do you think anybody struggles on purpose?

How does one specify who they're booing at?

I was specifically yelling "What the hell are you Crowton?" and boo after that in the student section. Although towards the end, did anyone catch the majority of the section was chanting "Russell Shepard!"

But honestly, is Shep that much better of a thrower? I talked to a few receivers i know and they say he isnt

And is it just pure coincidence that LSU fans were booing Les and co. after Lee threw his first incomplete pass?

I don't think so, I'm resigned to the fact that LSU has shitty fans.

I'll be the 1st to admit that the student section in particular is progressively getting worse and worse. When you win the national title in recent years, you gain alot of "Newbies" that call themselves LSU fans. And when the going starts getting tough again, the fairweather fans are always the first to do stuff like boo players and quit on the team. Get rid of those clowns and our fans will start getting a better name for themselves

But it's acceptable to boo the opposing team (composed of amatuer athletes) when they run onto the field in Tiger Stadium?

Yup! They don't take it personally. In fact, the better you are the more likely you are to be booed. Very different than when your own fans boo you.

I will boo if I see poorly thrown balls to wide open receivers too many times...

That my friend deserves a boo...

I don't directly boo at the player, I boo to make a point... How else am I going to tell the coaches I had enough of seeing poor execution.

yep, I completely agree. I was a freshman in '01 so I got to witness first hand the downfall in the quality of our student section. Not to say the student section was ever a 'good group of kids', it just seems to me that by the time I was graduating the games had become more of a social event for the students and not a real actual game. the sense of entitlement these kids have these days (holy frick i sound like i'm old) makes me sick.

Maybe after a 3 and out or poor offensive series, the LSU announcer can say, "Alright Tiger fans, let's let the the offensive coaching staff know what you think about that series." That way we can let the coaching staff know what we think of them instead of the players.

Lee was booed in the first quarter on the first drive on his first incomplete pass.

how do you think lee feels when he sees some fig front row lunatic under the screen name MrPickSix? That has to be a lower point than hearing boos even.
