re: I am ashamed of much of our fanbase.

it was a big game and it hurts more b/c it was the game to win. give it a few days and i think the spectacular nature of the reg season will bubble up for most of the fanbase. we've never lost the NC game before (or a world series final, either). only lost one SEC CC. it's hard to handle great reg season success and then lose the championshipo game.

And you have to realize there is a percentage of fans, mostly who never had to endure Curley and the last years of Dinardo, who want the coach fired after most losses. I don't know the percentages, but i would guess the younger fans comprise most of the internet board crowd and this is to be expected--no insult intended, just stating the obvious.

these are the glory days of LSU. we lost an opportunity to add a NC but the future is bright as long as the LSUnation doesn't devour itself.

i agree w/ most of what you said. Les was never the consummate 13-0 genius and he's not a buffoon, either. the perception of both extremes is not his fault. he's les. no more no less (bad pun)
