This town has become intolerable. From the message boards...

Thank you!!!!

Everything's cool here on the Northshore.

Chill bro!

someone pointed out to me recently that a very vocal minority of LSU fans would rather be right about the team/coach than see LSU win. They have made their conclusions about the team based on ignorance and raw emotions and they don't care about the concept that a season is a long term "process" (as Saban used to harp on constantly). These fans would rather see LSU struggle and/or lose so they can run around saying "see I told you so."

This isn't specific to LSU, this is just the way things are now with the internet and so much information at our fingertips. Even with all the info out there available to us, you still can't help the stupid.

What this thread and others of the last three weeks prove to me, is that the constant din of negativity is killing the fun of LSU football for a lot of long-time fans.

When The Rant is more disagreeable than the Political board, when this country is in the midst of the biggest domestic political debate of the last 40 years, I would say that the LSU fanbase is in trouble.

People seriously need to check themselves before we inadvertantly chase Miles, Crowton, et al, and a boatload of 4 and 5 star recruits OUT the door.

The vibe around LSU football is OVERWHELMINGLY negative at this point and many of you need to ask yourself if you have contributed to that negativity.

Try SILENCE for a week or two, keep your opinions to yourselves. Believe it or not, LSU football would be there without you.

1) 90% are not and probably never will be over the fact that Nick Saban in NOT our fricking coach anymore.


2) Les Miles could cure cancer & aids (the OT would be thrilled about the latter) and still bring in a top 5 recruiting class and win 10 games and it will NEVER be enough if we're not winning games by the fan's blueprint. I'm completely convinced that some people will just never like the guy.

I was listening to the radio this morning and this is by far the most sickening. Our fans need to get over the fact that Saban is not the coach here and will never be the coach here again and support Miles....As opposed to criticzing Miles for everything he does, not blowing opponents out, not developing talent, not holding the team to 10 total yards, the man has already won a national championship for LSU and you still don't support him? He is our coach whether you like it or not, bitching about everything he does won't change that.

3) We have some severely underpaid people running around. Apparently some of them just missed their opportunity to coach college football.

We also have some severely delusional people running around trying to control everybody's thoughts. Apparently some of them have forgotten that we live in the U.S.A. where we're granted freedom of speech and the right to voice our opinions. A lot of em appear to be L.S.U. fans that get their lace covered cheerleaders panties all in a wad when they hear or read opinions that are different than theirs. They just can't handle any variations of what they perceive as the truth, at least their version of the truth as seen through the lenses of their P + G tinted glasses.

And, speaking of Baton Rouge becoming intolerable, why would anybody choose to live there after they graduated from L.S.U.? It should only be desirable for the true L.S.U. fanatics that are obsessive/compulsive about being in attendence at every single athletic event.

Because Saban has turned Alabama around, and LSU is a sinking ship.

A lot of our fans are stupid
