What a load of $hit ... Fairweather fans like this who hold season tickets and boo the players and coaches need their arses kicked AT THE GAME

You might want to go learn what a fair weather fan is first of all. A fair weather fan is on who is only interested in the team when they are doing well. This poster is a fan (fanatic) whether they are doing well or not, in this case not.

I agree that being this upset when they aren't doing well makes them MORE of a fan. It's the polar opposite of a fair weather fan or band wagon fan.

That seems like a fair deal to me. What say you?

The Sabanistas will never accept Miles, even if he is the coach for another 10 years. They just won't.

I always back the team. I backed the team in the 90s. I backed the team in 1999, when many LSU "fans" rooted against the team so they could get a new coach.

I think we've lost focus.

A simple request:

We go 6-0, and we put negativity aside until after the season is over.

I don't want to debate anything else. A simple yes or no is fine.

why does it have to be a victory??

It doesn't, but it seems like a lot of fans now need a reason to cheer for the team.

Again, I advocate always being supportive, but for the negative i'm advocating a deal, a blood oath if you will.

That's right. We won't. Because for those 10 years he would continue to frick up clock management and marginalize talent. Everyone but short-sighted Miles lovers can see that.

woah now, this is the rant. no need to be throwing around million dollar words 95% of these people don't understand.


and to the OP, i say YES emphatically. my friends don't know how i can stand by miles, maybe its b/c he stood by LSU. oh and he's 5-0 (in spite of, b/c of, who fricking cares of, it's still 5-0)

Dude....Really?....Miles is damn near .80 winning percentage and undefeated, has the longest coaching tenure and they have him measured up for a short rope and long fall in BR....LSU could come out Saturday and crush Florida and there would still be bitching about something he did...and....when/if he does drop a game before the end of the season, people will be selling plasma and bone marrow to finance his friggin' departure. I wish it could be, but it ain't going to happen...Only way he gets backing is if he runs the table...otherwise he is toast to the fan base...I personally think its crap, but reason doesn't play well with this fan base...Why? Dunno...I just sit back, watch the games on Saturdays and giggle on Mondays when I read the flaming....THIS DUDE HAS DOUCET FLIPPING HIS WIG and apologizing for it...It is bad! Makes good ancillary excitement though...I'm eating popcorn, drinking beer and taking it all in...Hell, I invite my most flaming LSU friends over for free beer and BBQ every game just for the entertainment...It is priceless...and to think, I used to be the worst of them all...

Grats.
