the night LSU fans became the most entitled in college football

last night i came onto a board in full meltdown… after a win. not only a win but a win on the road, against a ranked opponent. led by a QB who absolutely destroyed us the year before… after the first game of the season.
some people might've forgotten, but there was a time when we (LSU) weren't that good at football. when wins at home were scarce, let alone wins on the road. when seasons like 5-6, 2-9, 5-6 weren't down years or catastrophes, but the norm. when 9-3 was a reason to fais do do on the bayous. when the best players went out of state. when kids from other schools never thought about coming here. when we got our brains beat out on national television.
what happened to us? i think maybe the worst thing that could've happened: we won. two titles and a decade or so of being good to great has made us completely forget what it felt like to outright suck for almost a decade.
now we're like video gamers who hit reset on madden when the CPU wrecks our pet player's statistics. we complain because a blanton's is served to us in a rocks glass instead of a snifter. and we're positive that it's gonna be served to us in a dixie cup the next game and then a toilet bowl the game after that. in fact, it's not even us vs them anymore. no longer LSU versus Florida. frick Bama. Or Geaux to Hell Ole Miss. it's not our team is better than your team. it's our QB vs our Coach. Our OC vs our DC. frick Steele but yay Bebe.
we wring our hands about how someone's taken our precioussss football glory… which weirdly, is still in our hands. maybe if we don't like watching the games, maybe we should take the season off, four hours at a time, saturday at a time, and we can celebrate all the football after it's done being played. fast forward to the end of the movie where indiana jones retrieves the crystal ball and kisses the girl.
or maybe we could just kick back and enjoy the fact that at the end of the first chapter, lsu is 1 and Oh.

Tl;dr
Sorry if we don't accept ultra unbalanced conservative play calling.

what happened to us?
We are tired of destroying teams early then going in to full blown scared shitless turtle mode and letting our opponents come back and have a chance to win.
State should never have been in that game last night.

Only let me up vote once. Enjoy it.

We want to be great= shitty entitled fans

You must not be too bright.
The team is great and I couldn't be happier.
Les miles coached the game after going up 21-6 like a scared little girl trying to hold on for dear life (when he didn't need to).

You'll be down voted by the people that hate everything about smashmouth.
Then come back and say "why can't we criticize Miles?"
Sure, criticize Miles all you want, but when you sit and dwell on it, it does no good. I sat frustrated at times last night as well, but you don't see me making sure everyone knows it all week

This is UF from last year all over again. We squeak out a W on the road against a mediocre SEC team, y'all swear we'll be fine and act like this perfomance in no way foreshadows what's to come, then we'll lose way too many games for our talent level again this year, and be disappointed due to yalls perennial offseason sunshine pumping. Always going from championship talk to "at least it's not the 90's" talk. If you don't see any issue with this, then I can't help you.

I'm not reading all that, but I assume you are bitching about us bitching about the that horrible play calling in the second half.
1. We have a wealth of talent outside of LF7 and Miles continues to deny them the ball.
2. Harris played exceptionally well and was building up some nice confidence then Miles turns him off.
3. We had a DECENT lead and miles slams on the brakes on offense wtf.
4. Defense played their asses off the first half, but Miles wore them out by the second with all that run, run, pass, punt in the second half.
We are not going to find success with that second half coaching philosophy. Miles/Cam had us running like a well oiled machine in the first half. Defense was beasting. Second half he went full tard and wore the defense down.

It started in 07 when we beat State 45-3. We were in meltdown mode and we were blowing out a SEC team.

Les Miles' arrogance is a detriment to this team.
Posted on 9/13/15 at 9:52 am to LSU Fan 90812
It's not that people have forgotten what you have pointed out it's that most are afraid of returning to that time.

I just want to say that I have thoroughly enjoyed your posts this morning
Posted on 9/13/15 at 10:06 am to LSU Fan 90812
This is moronic. State should have been blown out in this game. Les miles will always keeps teams in the game. He is not capable of stepping on the opponents throats. He's a complete idiot for not throwing ball down field more. Yes there were plenty of big plays called back by penalties but Harris proved in first quarter he could be trusted and miles run to pass ratio still approached 80% by end. This conservative play not to lose bullshite is why Lsu will again lose 3-5 games and not be elite. Leslie, you suck

What you don't seem to understand is that Miles' philosophy of getting a lead and sitting on it for 2-3 quarters hoping he can just maintain it is a LOSING philosophy. Hell, just yesterday that philosophy cost several teams who tried it. Sure, you can win a few games doing it, but it just does not work over the course of a season.

TD won't let me like and dislike at the same time...
Posted on 9/13/15 at 10:17 am to LSU Fan 90812
I don't know what people expected. I mean, it was our first game on the road against a top 25 team breaking in a new quarterback and you have Leonard Fournette. Of course we were only going to throw the ball 12 times.
Look, we let off of the gas a little too early and had some stupid penalties kill us but at the end of the day we won a road SEC game. And we're probably going to come home and do the same thing next week because we known Auburn won't be able to stop the run. As the season goes on and Harris becomes more comfortable we'll open up the playbook. I just don't know why anyone expected anything different last night.

Insanely high expectations from the fan base means you have arrived.
This is a pussy post.
