They are hearing us. They are trying not to, though

Yeah but how many of them actually have any power/say to steer LSU away from what seems like a decision that has already been made?
Or will we have to wait to hit rock bottom (pretty close to where we are now) before someone or some people step in to right the ship?

I had the day off after the election and enjoyed the shite out of it This one sucks though.

This is very, very different than past situations of fan displeasure.

I didn't think I would ever feel the way I do currently about LSU football. Usually I can pull some kind of positive away that keeps me engaged. At this point I don't even want to buy an LSU bumper sticker because I know where the money will end up. If they don't give a shite about us, then why should we give a shite about them

I am worried they are listening. Most posters here are behaving like hysterical teenage girls.

if the admin pull the trigger on this betrayal of their statements on getting a top-notch OC, lifetime Tigers are REALLY prepared to walk.

I feel pretty certain that this is what F(uc)King wants.

I seriously believe (based on his own previous comments) that he's of the stripe that feels that athletics have no place in an academic environment...an academic snob who feels that athletics just pulls funding away from the academic side. And if he thought he could just do away with LSU football without consequence, he would.

Does that include thumb suckin’?

I can’t stand king and joe either, but I highly doubt that they are worried too much about a couple hundred “men” posters worried that LSU is not giving a shite about them, and are going to stop buying a bumper sticker. Sheeeeit..

He might think that... as many academics do.

... But...

1) LSU football is profitable and brings money to the university.

2) Athletics, in general, are part of the marketing presence that brings attention to the university. That LSU's marketing arm (football) generates money instead of costing money makes it all the more valuable.

As a for instance, some students and parents at one of my daughters' schools up here in NY had some sort of Habitats for Humanities type trip to some part of Alabama this past fall. One of the dads I was speaking to afterwards... an ivy league neurosurgeon, was in awe of the Go Tide! culture down there with everyone shouting it out to anyone wearing a Bama ballcap, etc., etc. He was musing that if he had to do it all over again, he'd probably go someplace like that. Not sure if he watched the game last night, but if he did, his experience will invariably come back to him and his teenage kids are going to be a little more likely to think about Bama now as a viable destination. Doesn't mean they'll choose Bama, but it increases the chances a little. That's influence, which is how marketing works. And that's also part of the value of having a winning culture where everybody is on the same page.

F King might not like it, but he'd be an idiot to not understand it and do his best to keep LSU a winner.

I encourage everyone to contact the Board of Supervisors and athletic department to voice their displeasure.

If the admin tries to tell him who he can or can’t hire then O will act like the immature hot head that he has always been. A tiger doesn’t change his stripes, so to speak. And he’s already quit on LSU before.

Well, then LSU needs to find some coonass to sit down and explain to Ogeron that there is nowhere for him to go if he quits or get's fired from LSU. There are no other HC jobs waiting for him. This is it! And if he wasn't from Louisiana and didn't have complete buffoon as a "boss" this opportunity wouldn't even exist.

Ogeron doesn't (or at least shouldn't) have the leverage to be overly demanding, stubborn, selfish, immature, etc. LSU football will go on with or without Ogeron. But Ogeron's days as a P5 head coach will NOT continue without LSU. If he wants to allow his stubbornness/stupidity to forever seal his fate as a major college HC, then so be it.
