2005 IMO was when the student section began getting weaker

Some friends and I were talking about this at dinner after the game Saturday. We were students from 97-'01/'02 and some until '04/'05 with grad/med-school. Anyway, back before the '03 championship we weren't thinking about BCS shite in September and October. We were just hoping to win that game on that night. There were no expectations. We've experienced a great deal of ups and downs as fans.

Now, flash forward to your average student today. An 18yr old freshman was 8 when we won that '03 title and probably more interested in Power Rangers than LSU football. Even if they got really serious about it in their teens, LSU had already won another title by then. My point: these kids don't know what it's like to lose. What it's like to be partying well into the night after a come from behind win against Houston. What it's like to snap a 30 year home losing steak to any team. Or even what it's like to not be able to see a game because you couldn't find tickets and it wasn't going to be on TV. It felt more like a privilege to go to an LSU game whereas they treat it as their right today. Times are just different and want these kids off my lawn.
