re: wake up, fanbase

You know how certain teams' fans are stereotyped? That has been the case with LSU. Up until very recently, LSU fans were perceived as the Stiffler, the Spicoli of the college crowd. Loud, rowdy, crazy party fools, going to dominate in any environment.

What are we now? We're acting like whiny, self-pitying wimps. We have a couple Clemson trolls trying to spark some action on these boards, and the overwhelming reaction has seemed... well, you can visualize it. We are laying in bed crying with the pillow pulled over our heads. Clemson fans banging on the door saying let's go out and see what you got, and we are answering "go away, leave me alone".

This isn't LSU. We should already be over whatever perceived snubs we've gotten, not pouting. We should be ready to blow the Clemson fans' minds and drink them under the table, so they recall their matchup with awe. Instead, we're coming across as spoiled bitches.

Remember when we played Miami in 2005 at the peach? We were stoked at the matchup (as Clemson likely will be). Miami fans said they didn't care since it wasn't the title game... let's not be like that.

Raw deal this bowl season... maybe. But we can still remind the other bowls what they missed out on. Let's regain our edge as a fan base and rock Atlanta this New Year's eve.
