It's sickening how some of you children bash our players, mainly Jennings and Welter as of late. These guys put on the purple and gold and play for us and our state with passion. Maybe they aren't very good or maybe they had a bad game, but the coaches start them and when someone says "I hope he dies in a fire" or anything of the sort, is fricking ridiculous. Grow up and support our team!

Good luck with that one.

Our fans are whiners whose identity is caught up in football.

Agreed.

Let's bash the coaches instead. The buck stops with them.

Countryboy - You are on a public forum where people express their opinions.

Agreed 100% To see people putting Jennings down is really sad. The kid is committed to LSU so he should have our support. Our coaches are playing the best player (despite what others may believe).

The kid is having to play with media down his back, fans critizing him and a competition that wont allow him to relax and play his game. He deserves support, not a bunch of folk breathing down his neck just waiting for him to mess up. That kind of pressure is not fair coming from fans who are suppose to be supporting him

They're grown men, adults in the eyes of the law. People shouldn't pile on, but the players can take a little bit of criticism.

Besides which, negative fan reaction has improved over the years. We're not that far removed from the days of Jamie Howard, when he was getting death threats.

A ringing endorsement.

The coaches are the ones that need the bashing for playing them. It's not the player's fault.

I'm not sure I recall any posters hoping a player dies in a fire. I've seen posters say that to other posters (still immature) but not about a player.

Look, this is a public forum for LSU fans to express opinions. The team isn't playing well and numerous players have under-performed. Those players are therefore going to be criticized, and rightly so, since they signed with LSU to play big-boy football. And with that comes pressure and lofty expectations. If they don't want that, go play I-AA ball.

But I think nearly all posters here respect our players, assuming we believe they are working hard, doing their best, and positively representing the university.

But that doesn't exempt them from criticism where it's warranted.

Harris should be starting over Jennings.

Not bashing. Simple fact.
