Fans Get a Grip

Leaving what was an awesome game between two very good teams, my wife and I were right beside two guys on the exit ramps. One guy, 40ish w/ 2 kids and wife was running his mouth about the QB while another was defending him. We were basically in between the two. Not going to go into the details but they were jawing loud enough to be clearly heard over the crowd. It was a complete embarrassment. The wife of the guy dogging our QB was trying to get him to shut up. I eventually told him to let it go. Even Al Gore let go at some point.

Note to all tiger fans:

-You cannot throw the ball better than LSU's 3rd string punter, much less any of LSU's QB's.

-You are not smarter than the coaches at evaluating the talent on that team.

-You do not have any insight greater than theirs when it comes to subsitutions.

-You do not have a right to call another person's son who is playing for LSU derogatory names.

-You are out of line more than often than not.

Please realize that all of these young men were highly recruited and had many other opportunities.

So here is the situation:

-The QB has made some mistakes and thrown some interceptions. That's what freshman do. The interception returned for a td in Saturday's game included a 50 yard return. I can't put the return on the QB. LSU also a TD pass dropped and a 9-yd completion on 1st down dropped. Both of those were momentum changers.

-The UF game was not on the QB. That game came down to stopping Tebow on a 3rd and 3 when 80,000 "genius fans" new he was about to run. At that point the game was 20-14 and quiet. I was there; I know. So, do you put that on our DC's? I do.

-This team has a chance to be 9-3 and go to a decent bowl, all w/ a freshman QB who has the potential to be a true superstar.

-Our three losses this year have come against UF-Junior QB and Heisman Tropy winner, GA-Jr. QB that may go first in draft, ALA - Sr. QB. Notice the similarities. Look the BCS rankings. You see experienced QBs.

-Everyone calling for a different starter next year should remember their complaints if they get their wish and see that we are simply breaking in another Freshman.

And lastly:

If you must criticize feel free to do so, but direct it to the paid professionals on the sideline. You can tell the difference easily. The paid professionals do not have jersey's w/ numbers.
