Our fan base really isn't that bad - a little perspective

Our fan base really isn't that bad

yes it really is....

The double standard of the LSU "fans" is the height of hypocrisy.

When the "fans" are criticized for leaving early, not showing up, unrealistic expectations, lack of overall knowledge about the game, etc...they are all too quick to make excuses and say all fanbases are like this.

However, these same "fans" hold the university, the coaches and the team to an elite standard with zero margin for error.

A large percetage of LSU "fans" suck arse.

The only part of our fanbase I really have a problem with is the part that seems to be constantly wringing their hands about the state of our fanbase.

I wish some of us on here would stop describing our entire fan base as one, as if it were one person, or even a group of persons.
Yes "some" of the fans "suck arse," "some" are impatient, whining, and can't stand prosperity.
Yes "some" complain no matter what, and "some" hate Miles.
Are you describing the fans you see on this board? Because if that's your demographic sample, it is monstrously out of whack and innaccurate.
There are literally MILLIONS of LSU alumni and fans around the world, and probably 95% of them have never even lurked on a message board, let alone post!
That's not to say you can't encounter negative Tiger fans everywhere, but you simply can't make an across-the-board judgment about millions of diverse and different individuals, based on several hundred (if that) posters on a random internet message board, and the others you happen to encounter elsewhere.

And,why are THOSE fans put on a pedestal and given credence as THE spokespeople for the entire fan base ?????? Shouldn't the vast overwhelming majority of fans who bleed purple and gold, or are loyal to LSU, or are who are fans, but rather indfifferent or silent - be acknowledged, and not just the ones that "suck arse" ????????????
