I’m positive you don’t know how next year will turn out.
I’m positive the OL and DL will be improved

I expect a better season next year and a better recruiting class. I don't know if Orgeron will be super successful here or not. If not, we'll have to let him go in a year or two. We can't fire him after one 9-4 season. That's not accepting mediocrity.

for a competitive person, if you're going to engage in a competitive sport and put a team on the field, you should try your best to win. Otherwise, it's just an exhibition.

And none of this is "ruining my existence." Good lord, man, exaggerate much?

Bingo!

You get rid of the clown who hired a DL coach with a terrible HC record before you let him frick it up again.

The funny thing for me is why anyone would be surprised to see O stumbling this way. The other funny shite is to see people bitching about other people bitching.

Nothing

The problem is that many people think that the fans are the decision makers. They aren't.

Someone whining 24/7 on a message board isn't going to change anything

Who competes for Championships every year for the last 10 years except Bama? I'll hang up and listen.

Recanting. Everyone keeps parroting "I am not accepting mediocrity."

Glad to know.

I presume your wife is perfect a perfect 10.
Your kids are all excelling in the classroom and on the field. Going to Harvard.

And you make in excess of a million dollars per year?

Son..... you live in a State that is well below mediocrity. For years people in this State continue to vote for the worse possible Candidates. La. Is now below Alabama in most categories

People in this State live their life miserable and negative

I understand the point you were trying to prove by asking the skewed question.

The fact of the matter is “we don’t know what he’s capable of”. Your disdain for CEO guides your “8-4 every year” assumptions. He’s only been the LSU HC for 1 year. CEO will be the LSU HC come Sept. 2, it’s time to get on or off.

that's not setting an example. I am dumping my tix and parking pass and I have had them since 1998. enough is wnough and I won't support this crap until the house is cleaned from top to bottom.

then you jump back in once changes are made. I have plenty priority points to get back in IF they ever get it right,

This is a dumb response. He’s saying he doesn’t want to give up his LSU tix cuz he likes his seats and your response is that you gave up your saints tix even though you liked those seats and now you don’t have any tickets.

You’re basically proving his point that he shouldn’t give up his tickets cuz he won’t get his seats back.

Also your priority point argument is great for you but if he doesn’t have as many priority points then how does your large quantity of them help him.

Your whole argument is basically, everyone should give up Their tickets to show the admin how you feel cuz You’ll be ok in the end. It’s a pretty ridiculous argument.

To all those complaining about the complaining... Why do you care? If this isn't important, why are you here? If it doesn't matter what is said on a message board, then who cares? You just wanted to rehash that Auburn game last year over and over, or what? If you've got a bunch of ideas for legitimately positive discussion about LSU football, start some threads!
Just don't pee on people's legs and tell them it's raining.

We are hear to have discussions about LSU football.

In the last day or so, it appears that actual discussions are beginning to appear again.

Previous to that, anytime anything was mentioned that wasn’t stating how terrible O is and how fricked we are, it was met with anger and the thread would quickly derail into the aforementioned subject.

Sure, the awfulness of the HC is a topic to discuss about LSU football. BUT it’s not the only topic like some on here would like it to be.

nah, you are too fricking stupid to "get the point" obviously. just because i liked my seats does not mean you can not make a point for whatever reason or give them up for other reasons

All of these posts say the same damn thing. He's here and he's the coach for at least the next season. There's not a damn thing you can about that, so quit bitching about it here. It's tiresome and old.

Write letters to the powers that be if you don't like it. Don't buy season tickets IF you ever had them. Don't go to games. Play like LSU football doesn't exist this coming season, but for crying out loud stop posting the same things over and over again. You people can't even get creative.
