With all due respect, who cares? These games are not about the fans, they're about the players.


If its not the Championship game, I personally don't care what game it is. We'll get em next year!

Well, there is a lot of the problem, apparently. While the guys on the field are top-notch, the support (or lack thereof) from the stands makes an impression also. It does help to motivate and lift the players at times; and more importantly, it helps potential future players decide if they want to be a part of said team/culture. Players like to be supported, just like anyone else. You want the screaming fans, the glory. The level of the LSU fanbase's passion is a big part of its' success.

Not sure if I understand the 2nd statement right, but if it's championship or bust, then that's not being a fan (-anatic), that's being a frontrunner.

For myself, I want to win every single year, but if we don't get in the title game, then LSU vs North Texas in the Hiccup Bowl would be bigger to me than Alabama-Notre Dame, cuz I would get to watch my Tigers one more time
