I know there's a feeling of worry for many, and a lot of negative thoughts for the future, but some of these posts are ridiculous. I'm not here to support Miles or Crowton or anyone but the term "passionate football fans" has lost all meaning, it's quickly turning to "overly obsessive". I know it's hard right now, and to be honest as a young LSU fan I've never experienced years like the last two. But I feel I'm handling it more maturely than 75% of this board, and some of you guys are grown arse men. And it's not just football, it's basketball. Hell, I'm surprised I haven't heard that our basketball program should be thrown out, or what's going to happen if we don't win the CWS? or we might as well move to the conference USA because our football team is going to the "shitter", even though we won a NC two years ago and have been ranked in the top 5 for as much as half the season this year. Even though we come in with top 5 and at least top 10 recruiting classes. Were in the top 5 in players representing us in the NFL, and we've had what, 5 years a player drafted in the first round and should hopefully continue this year. Come on it could be much worse. I was born in Seattle, WA and was grown up a very passionate UW fan. They were very good and competed for the Pac-10 and Rose Bowl every year, and out of the blue the Neuhesiel gambling investigation came out and look what happened. They maybe won 5 games in 3 years, one year they only won one game. My point is things could be much worse, we won't let it get to that point, but there's plenty, and I mean plenty of programs more than 50 that would love to be in our situation. And to quote "negatigers", I'm not a "positiger" i'm a realist! get over it!!!!, and look at the brightside baseball is coming up, then spring football starts with a clean slate.

Chalk it up to human nature. When you win two NC's in a 5 year span, fans tend to get upset and negative as a result if you don't compete for a NC. That's just the nature of the beast.Always has been and always will be, unfortunately. Just ask "Smoke."

I dont think that it is because the number of losses that have hit LSU or the fact that LSU hasnt competed for the National Championship the last 2 years. Its the manner in which the Tigers have lost during the MIles years. Granted, Hadnt been like some of the Losses we had under Stovall, Archer, Hallman and Dinardo, but remember the program has come a long way since then. Even Saban had some strange losses i.e. UAB, the Arkansas game in the prevent defense that cost us the SEC championship, the Iowa game, but it just seems like that a lot of games under Miles , you leave the stadium scratching your head in either a loss or a win.

thanks, dude. i concur. i agree.
if you look at the history of lsu football, we just had the greatest decade of our storied history. we had amazing luck for both n.c. but we were the winners.
did you see the sec in the bowls this year? there is more parity than negatigers want to admit. there is tremendous parity in the sec. i now so want al to beat tx. another sec great.
the ranturds are still supporting the criminal antics of perrilloux. these are kids. my high school coach just dis'd miles, and he never had a winning season!!! wow, i guess that makes him feel good.

also, remember, this is the internet. i've retired and gotten addicted to this blogging. this blogging is a way to justify an otherwise useless uneventful life. bloggers live thru this electronic validation and when they can disrespect miles and young men, they just continue the abuse they were brought up with.

and, believe me, most of the negatigers are alcoholics, drug addicts or very overweight.
