I know that this site is made up all types of fans, but I am just curious as to which ones bring the entire negative attitude to the board. I have a feeling that this mindset comes from two different types of fans. The two types of fans that I think do all the whining and complaining on this board are BANDWAGONERS and CHILDREN from the ages of 13- to mid or early twenties who started following LSU football after or just before the first championship in 2003. My reason for believing this is because they did not experience the 4-7 of DiNardo in 1998 after being preseason top 15 or the 16-28 over Hallman’s tenure. I’m tired of hearing “WE ARE LSU” on this board; “We should win 10 games every year.” Yes, the expectations are higher now and that’s great, but if you had said those things 10 years ago, you would have been laughed out of a stadium where people weren’t so pampered and just enjoyed going being there on a Saturday night no matter how good or bad our team was.
I do have a problem with the way Les handled some things the past few seasons. He has lost some games that we should have won. Yes, the program has slipped a little bit after winning a National Championship in 2007 but we still went 9-4 and 8-5 with two straight years of first year starters at QB. WAKE UP, we went to a New Years Day bowl for the 3rd time in 5 years. Sure as hell beats the run of the few Peach and Independence bowls from 1989 to 2000.
With that being said, everyone take a step back and look at how the program is now compared to 10 years ago. We are 3 years off of the national championship and have a lot of talent at all positions. I can’t wait until Les shuts up all the haters this year. I cant tell you how pumped I am about kickoff in 14 days, and if you are not GTFO!

I attended games well before 2000.
And I still believe that 3-5, 4-4, 5-3 SEC records are mediocre. Comparing mediocrity to the absolute incompetence of the 1990's does not alter the fact that it is still mediocrity. Moreover, given the recruiting base and facilities, LSU should never have been as atrocious as they were between 1989 and 2000. Only the total and complete inbred, incestuous, parochial ineptitude of the athletic department could have brought such ruin on LSU football.

First game was against Ole Miss in 1995, I believe. I used to listen to LSU games on a handheld radio in my bedroom bc I couldn't watch on tv as a kid. I very much remember bringing back the magic. I also see how LSU may be trending back down from our recent high point. Don't get me wrong, I loved this past decade, but I'd rather LSU continue to be great than fall back to mediocrity.
