Small % of dumbass LSU fans

+

Large % of bama trolls pretending to be LSU fans

=

Doom..

Hopefully these recruits realize they are being trolled more times than not. If it sincerely is an LSU fan, every fan base has idiots. Look at the bama "fans' threatening to kill the kicker.

We need to stop comparing recruits that are LSU targets/commits/potential commits in the same class. (We need to stop comparing hs kids who might eventually become teammates, period. Although, I understand that's probably an unrealistic thing to ask for) One kid has to be lesser than another and it's a lose/lose situation for us. Nothing positive can come from it. However, any recruit that's thinking of going to any major program has to have thick skin or they won't last long.

I hear it almost everyday from recruits, coaches or parents. Yes they read it and yes it affects them. LSU fans have garnered the reputation of being quick to turn on you. The negativity towards the program on a board also plays on their minds. I got a message last night from a LSU commitment concerned about what he was reading. It is a lot more frequent than people want to accept or admit.

This was in response to a question about whether or not he thought recruits read these chat forums and if he thought it affected them. So watch what you say folks! Keep it positive and it will go a long way to benefit us in the end

Well Close the board to outsiders and you won't have that problem. I will asked chicken to close the board to outsiders because it is affecting recruiting.

Most LSU fans understand that recruits are affected by the negative bullshite that goes on here .

They also are respectful to recruits and their families.

What we are seeing here is a sports site that even though they are getting stricter still has negative fans and fans looking to hurt the program fall through the cracks.

I hope all recruits that read this understand that real LSU fans feel these commit are like family members and would never try to hurt them.....

I dont understand why this is a bad thing. Yes, if you are a quality player we want you in P&G, but as soon as you go to Bama, Auburn, Texas, A&M, Ole Miss, Oklahoma, Southern Cal or Wyoming I hope you do not have success. I dont wish personal harm on you, or that your life sucks, but I do not wish that you have a successful career unless its in P&G. Hoping you have a good career not at LSU and that coming to fruition directly contradicts me wanting LSU to succeed.

Ill also say, that to think that LSU fans are the worst is a little short sighted. There are "those" kinds of fans at every school, they are just exposed to "those" fans at LSU because they live here. Ask Cyrus Kouandjio. He caught shite from Bama fans for committing to Auburn, then caught shite from Auburn fans for signing with Bama. It happens everywhere, its just their way of justifying them leaving the state.

If these kids are swayed by what they read on a message board then they will struggle with the pressure of big time college athletics. What will they do when they fumble the game winning TD away and the entire fan base screams?

I agree, some people should tone down their posts but this is a "message board" for posting messages so that stuff will happen. If these kids can't distinguish the difference then don't tell me they are capable of making these famous "business" decisions about where to attend college.

Most of these kids have been told they are the best of the best, etc. for so long that maybe they are detached from the real world. In the real world you will get mistreated and bad mouthed but you'll also get praise and support. Deal with both.

Yes, the LSU fan base is passionate and some times wacky but at least we haven't been poisoning trees and shooting our own fans over a loss. One thing we do is love our Tigers!

When these recruits go to another school that LSU has to play - Tiger bait!
