I graduated from LSU in 1986. I'm in my 50s now. I am convinced I will die from a stroke or heart attack during an LSU game. I was feeling fine during the first half of last Saturday's game. But then by the end of the third quarter, the anxiety came back. This was La Tech!

Anybody else watch their blood pressure rise in the second half of that game?

I know it's stupid to let the actions of 18-22 year old boys affect my health on a weekly basis. Misery loves company, so please chime in to let me know I'm not the only one out there.

I don't think many teams in the last 15 years have produced as many games that have brought the collective fanbase to the brink of heart attack

ETA: our diet doesn't help

This year’s team has nothing on that wacky 2010 team at least.

Lsu always seems to play to the level of their opponents going back through the Miles era with the exception being 2011 when we smoked everyone.

A good gameplan: Take the points when LSU is the favorite and bet on the other team.

When LSU is the underdog take the points and bet on LSU.

Would be 4-0 betting the spread this season and LSU is 4-0 SU.

Win-win

Yeah must suck to be bama fan and watch your team blow the doors off of everybody you play

I mean anybody other than a bama fan usually has a few heartpounding moments in the regular season.

The suckage for LSU fans is they have to watch it against lesser teams that LSU plays

I was just thinking the other day about how boring it must be to religiously watch Alabama football.

To the OP's point; yes.

Yeah if your tied after first Qtr you are upset. If 14 point lead at halftime your angry

Then just walk away check game score an hour later up by 35 . must be rough

100% correct and I am guilty of this as well, but we were never behind and let by 10+ points for over half the game...Miami and USL were never in doubt after half..but I get it, as a fan I do not feel any lead is safe...OSU 1988 still hurts..
