I was disappointed,sure. But I don't come in here and cry like a three year old who lost his teddy.

Bad things happen, but when they do that's the exact time a true fan steps forward and backs his team. Do I like what happened? No. Can I change it? No? Am I still supportive of LSU, the players and coaches, yes.

I don't demand anything of them other than an honest effort. I don't require that they do things in a certain way because it makes me feel better. I don't need what they do to make me feel good about myself.

If you need LSU to win a specific number of games by a certain point spread to somehow validate your self, you have my sympathy. If you can't handle adversity, it's not a weakness of the team but of your character. If you can't stand up and be counted for your team, at least be honest with yourself and admit that you lack the stamina for the long run.

I'm generally a little less hard skinned than most of you and take a lot of things to heart. I'm surrounded by a bunch of non-football watching folks who just like to get on my nerves anytime the Tigers don't do well. Our performance lately's just been really fricking frustrating, and on the topic of expectations, my expectation this year was not a winning season, but at least beating the Gumps. They failed, and of course I blow my fricking gasket.

The team has problems and I'm just really sick of how none of them seem to be getting corrected. It's frustrating as all hell that Bama gets better and we get worse. It's frustrating as hell to see the Gumps get to jerk off and laugh in our faces for a whole nother year while we get to look forward to the Alamo Bowl or some shite.

You're right though. I need to take a step back. Sorry for arguing with you.
