And everyone on here biotches about every other team hating us, well last night is why. We're getting hammered by a pathetically sucky team and everyone bails long before the game is even over. Our team might be just as bad as our fans. Unreal!!

Agreed. This season has shown that. The SAME thing happened in 2004. I expect things to be back to somewhat normal by 2010 after we've had a couple of seasons of not winning a title.

Our fanbase gets spoiled with success more than any other, plain and simple.

LSU has had the most fairweather fan base for many years. Last night was nothing new.

Wrong. Our team doesn't give up.

I hate to agree with that statement, but the truth hurts.

Probably looked terrible to recruits last night.

Let's face it, this program is not as football crazy as other schools such as Bama.

Bama will pack a spring practice, while we are at half capacity.

Do you settle for mediocrity in all facets of your life? I don't. Had I been in tiger stadium last night, I would have led the boos. With the talent that our team has, there is no excuse for this season.

Only thing worse than people who leave the game early - the self righteous fans who question their loyalty for it.

They got what they deserved - they missed a historic event. So that's it - drop this BS.

I was there and stayed through the whole game but completely appreciate why people left early. It was cold as f*ck - and our team apparently hadn't shown up to the game.

Things could be worse, we could be Michigan fans.

the reason is the diehard tiger fans that used to sit through the games no matter what can't afford to go

Everyone having left at halftime looked so bad on TV that the fans got called out for it on College Football Live. They talked about how the fans always bail whenever things don't go our way.

I don't believe TigerNation and a lot of the others get it. The fans that left the game last night aren't necessarily fairweather fans. Those of y'all that want to criticize so many for leaving before the game ended apparently don't truly love LSU enough to understand how painful it is for those of us who truly love LSU to watch our Tigers die such a horrific death at the hands of a team that shouldn't have even scored in Tiger Stadium!

I'm gonna call out GeauxChrisSports and any others of y'all that are hounding the fanbase for leaving early and calling them fairweather fans and "negatigers". . .Y'all were real good at browbeating these fans and using all kinds of epithets in righteous indignation at the fact that Tiger fans would, "bail on the team". So all right, all you self-righteous fans of LSU who would NEVER leave a game early no matter how dismal the Tigers' performance. . . What the HELL were you doing posting on TIGERDROPPINGS last night during the game rather than being there in PERSON and showing support for your team?!!! Tickets were clearly available at affordable prices and there were plenty of unfilled seats during Pre-game. So . . .Where the hell were YOU?!

Me? I wasn't there. I wish I could have been, but I am stuck for the time-being north of Atlanta with little ability to leave the area during the weekends to get even as far as Athens. But you won't catch me questioning the loyalty of ANY Tiger fan who at least took the time to show up for the game in the first place.

In essence, if you're going to bitch about fans leaving games early, then you'd better be doing the bitching from the stands yourself. Because if you're bitching with your fingers on a computer keyboard from the warm comfort of your own home while a game is playing in Death Valley, then you're a pretty sorry SOB for not getting up off your a$$ to go support the Tigers in the first place.

Before you try to remove the spec from your brother's eye, be sure you have removed the beam from your own!

That said, !!!

The criticism was justified. If you haulded arse before the end of the game; you have no romm to gripe. Just proved your a "fair weather fan".
