Becoming a TRUE FAN....

Hello to all!! Sorry for making my first post ALL ABOUT ME, but, it's important IMO.
I have been lurking here for years and looking back, I WAS, UNTIL RECENTLY, A TERRIBLE FAN..
I cursed the coaches, the players, and the officials... I let difficult losses ruin days, weeks, MONTHS...
I don't know what happened recently, but something changed. Perhaps it was Les Miles making me laugh in interviews, perhaps is was the idealist in me finally understanding that there is always a winner and a loser in sports.
BUT, FINALLY, I CAN PLACE SPORTS IN THE PROPER PERSPECTIVE - ENTERTAINMENT. I now go easy on LSU athletes as they are KIDS. I look back at the things I did when I was 18-22 and WOW, THESE ARE SOME GOOD KIDS FOR THE MOST PART!! I was terrible. I don't get worked up with the coaches as they are only human. I sure as hell don't know enough to be a coach and wouldn't want to hear it from fans like my former self....
Anyway, I'm glad to be posting. I'm a realist now... That doesn't mean that I won't discuss a problem, but I won't let it get me angry or emotional anymore... I simply want to enjoy LSU athletics as we truly have something to be proud of here!!!
I look forward to many engaging conversations with you all, even if you are the way I was!!
I don't know what happened - Low testosterone??

To truly be forgiven of your sins, you must say something nice about Jordan Jefferson.

too late to be a true fan. if you weren't a fan before 1958, you're a bandwagon fan.

This is correctable. See your doctor & get some blood work done.

How does realizing there is always a winner and a loser make you an idealist?

You should have a little heart to heart with Harvey Updike about what's really important in life.

go easy on the players because they are kids
if they start getting "pay for play" they are no longer kids, they are employees and you will be compelled to bad mouth them.
