Why can't we just accept that booing is part of "expectations"

in big boy sports.

It's human nature...No one (sober) would boo a player in their face. It's a crowd/group atmosphere thing...Fans know what good looks like.

Is it reasonable to just expect just cheering in the good times and silence during the bad times? That's not a reasonable expectation for crowds

If people want to boo, well, that's on them. I am not a person that boos, but I am a person that expresses my passion in frustration and discouragement. My way of venting might be even more discouraging than booing if I was being taped on the jumbo tron. talk about body language. LOL!


I am not condoning (booing or Venting) it or condemning it.

"it just is what it is" We love Tiger football with great passion.

The focus should be how to improve the offense.

Fans are fans. The fans are not hte problem with LSU football.

Didn't tiger stadium just get recognized as the toughest place to play in CFB? LOL, I think it was meant for opposing teams...LOL

I can make an arguement that booing in sports is what makes sports great...It's ugly yes, but maybe it makes over-coming adversity that more sweet

In college football. Booing is the exception not the rule. LSU has become one of the few places that this happens.

This is a 3-0 team who had a 10-0 lead against a top 25 team and boos were flying.

You go ahead and pretend that booing is the norm if you want.

I see few college fanbases boo their own. LSU's is probably the most notorious. Sadly, its all seen as booing the players.

I don't boo, but I don't have a gripe with people that boo when things aren't going well.

But this little fricker sitting by me booed JJ in the player introductions. I had to tell him to shut his mouth.

You shouldn't boo a team you cheer for no matter how bad they play. At least I don't. I can't imagine sitting in the stands yelling "BOOOOOOOOO" at the top of my lungs at a team I normally cheer for, and on national tv .

It's a fan's right to boo any young kid on the team he/she wants. It's my right to call that person a cocksucker.
