I am an LSU alumnus. I was a former LSU athlete for a short time, and I root for the tigers in all sports. Having said that, I do not let the outcomes of a collegiate football team stress me out to the point that I nearly stroke out. Why don't you all just relax and take it for what it's worth?

Subtle brag, bro

That's because you sucked balls at whatever sport you played at LSU and had to quit after a short time.

You probably played Quiddich.

This is the kind of attitude that promotes mediocrity.

The new pumper handles are flying off the shelf from the LSU ponderosa today. Good gosh. I lost count on the number of these similar type of handles since Wednesday.

Why do you care whether I care? TBH - I ask myself that all the time.

I’m single with no kids, no real hobbies, and gave up drinking. Why can’t I be invested in sports?

I’m also an alum and TAF member so I like to think I can be reasonably upset when things are going badly.

1. Been going to the games since I was 3 or 4 years old

2. Went to said games with my father and LSU football is a big part of how we relate to each other

3. I learned to swim on that campus, I learned how to drive on that campus. I went to LSU summer camp. LSU was a big part of my childhood even outside of going to the games.

4. Undergrad degree and law degree from LSU. Most of the profound experiences I had in my college and post grad years happened on or adjacent to that campus

5. Huge part of the culture of Baton Rouge generally, the city I grew up in.

6. Lots of great memories with friends and family going to games and tailgating even since graduating from there

So yeah with all that being said I prefer the program not be a national embarrassment. If you don't understand that then frick you.

A lot of people on here should just be thankful for the opportunity to watch any LSU sporting events.

For the same reason all shareholders of companies care about the company's performance; I don't want to see my investment pissed away. I give to LSU athletics through TAF and every time I see a 578 number on my caller display I answer the call and give even more. And the only return I expect on that investment is a quality product on the field. I don't expect championships every year but I do expect to be competitive and in the hunt at least until the end of October. I don't think that's a lot to ask of a football coach at LSU.

My opinion should matter and that goes for every other fan out there. It doesn't matter if you give millions or just pay for tickets when you can.

You must have a job and responsibilities if you do not live and die with the outcomes of LSU sports.

You care that we care, yet we don't care that you don't care. Think about that for a while
