This ain't nothin. Come back during football season. All hell breaks loose when the team loses.

Agreed, all true. But that's also why Texas fans are basically milk toast.

You answered your question with the title of this thread.

I still don't know what this is supposed to mean really. Are you saying that LSU fans are more apt to blame the team for performance problems?


Let me break it down for you on how it works on this board: (The current Helenihi debate is used as an example)
Step 1:Level headed poster makes a thread titled "Helenihi isn't getting it done at the plate". In the OP it is asked why isn't he getting it done and how can it be fixed until he can get it done.
Step 2: Some idiot comes in yelling and screaming that the OP has no clue what he's talking about and that if there really was a problem then the coaches would have addressed it.
Step 3: OP defends himself by using stats that show that Helenihi isn't getting it done
Step 4: Screaming idiot then uses phrases like "bandwagoner" and "throw under the bus".
Step 5: Some REAL IDIOT starts a similar thread titled "Helenihi sucks and he should be pulled instantly"
Step 6: Screaming idiot starts policing the board and goes into screaming idiot overdrive every time Helenihi's name is mentioned in regards to any topic.
Step 7: go to step 5
Step 8 (and this is where certain posters need to get banned): Usual suspects flame the already emotional rant by starting intentionally disparaging threads about LSU players/teams/coaches.


Infinite repeat.
