First Post

the internet makes it possible.

previously, if someone said the negatiger stuff, they would be hit with a pillow, if it was at home, or welcomed to a serious bar fight, if they were out on the town. Short lived, and not remembered, except after a few beers, when telling about the part where they snot-knockered him, right after he said that about the LSU QB's.

Um ... that's really not a good place to come from if you want to participate on this board. But welcome just the same.

Completely agree!!!!

Long post --- you don't like that, get over it and don't read it.

Bash me too if you want. The idea of a passionately held opinion seems to be confused with the almost maniacal desire to insult or level someone anonymously.

I come to the board to read about the Tigers, and really, I come also to learn about the palyers and the offensive and defensive schemes or trends from people more knowledgable than I. There are people on this board with more understanding of the inner workings of LSU football than I. I like hearing their thoughts.

What I find troubling is that the board almost seems to be like Democratic and Republican politics today. There is limited civil discourse coupled with the distinct need to denegrate a differing view. I like it when posters talk positively or realisitcally about players. Pointing out shortcomings is par for the course today, but to savage anyone, especially players, seems counter-productive, hateful, and mean-spirited.

As for some background about me, I never played a down of organized football or basketball. I am a lot older than the average man or woman on this board. I understand football vicarioussly from watching and reading, and I have great respect for players and coaches. I do get mad at Les Miles over a call or an event. Some friends and I wanted to destroy the TV set after the Ole Miss game, but I don't wish ill on the man.

I also have the feeling that some on this list who profess to be the second coming of Ara Parshegian and Knute Rockne know less about the game than I do. Anybody can be a 6'4" macho man, three time All-American genius behind the shroud of a computer keyboard.

It would be great if we could have meaningful discussion complete with disagreement, logic, and self-discipline. I have come to like posting since i have started doing it about a week ago. It does wear thin sometimes however.

I just wish I did not have to constantly have to see pity bickering amongst true Tiger fans on a Tiger board.
