re: Anthony Hickey's comments on LSU Turnout yesterday

Let me just put it like this...I live in BR...i'm a huge Hornets fan. but i'm not traveling to NOLA to see that shitty arse team. i'm not going to leave work early, pay gas money to go to new orleans, pay for parking and concessions and tickets, all to see them lose.

same with this LSU team. i don't care how much they've improved over the past few seasons. the story is still the same. i'm sorry Hickey is butt hurt, but maybe they shouldn't be losing to fricking coastal carolina or whatever BS teams they lost to earlier in the season and then tank 3 of their last 4 or whatever. he has no right to call out LSU supporters.

Comparing the Hornets, a team that has been in nola for all of five years, and LSU, a program we should support no matter, are two entirely different matters. I feel absolutely no need to support the hornets because they're just a business so their support should be tied to their ability to perform. But LSU? These kids are coming here to represent our school. And that's enough for me.

People on this board talk about demanding more than mediocrity but what coach are you going to convince to come here when our own fans won't even support the team? Yeah, great selling tool. Hey, come to LSU, where if you win, the fans may show up. fricking pathetic.
