Has there ever been a more blatant attempt by a regime to control the narrative on a message board? Thousands of hours & no telling how much money spent just to control tRant. The moment any recruit signs, “We comin.” The moment a national pundit says anything remotely logical for this year, “Haters!! They hate LSU!! We comin.” Paying internet trolls to make it seem like this was all part of the process. We comin though. We comin to lovely downtown Shreveport in December.
There are perhaps some here that have affiliation with the program that push a positive narrative, but other than that your premise is Alex Jones conspiracy BS.
The truth is there are two radical opposing groups on here that feed off of goading each other and this nonsense drowns out any rational discussion of the football program. I'd rather discuss the team good, bad or ugly, but this crap now dominates the board and both sides are to blame.
And this thread, just like the threads building O up are both part of the problem. It's a venture into the tangles of the adolescent mind.

Usually the person complaining about someone else controlling the narrative, is a person who is just upset bc they are not controlling the narrative.

Name them???? I could just as easily say this board is full of negative bastards planted from Jimbo and Satan to bring down LSU. this place is so stupid.....
It goes on here and other MBs ----Bama has Paul Scumsuckbaum in their back pocket. Ever since Saban got there they have hired students to troll all team Mbs especially LSU. Some GA monitors a program they have. Of course there is your trailer trash that do it on their own like anyone can. Those are easy to spot. But there is an organized program with some very crafty trollers who are paid to spread gossip who are a little harder to spot until you start noticing.

Again, all it is is marketing. It isn't crazy or a conspiracy. If there is a mode that people use to transmit information freely and publicly , it's going to be a venue for some form of marketing. Some of it is obvious, like a banner ad, some of it is not, like coordinated accounts (and that doesn't mean high level coordinating, it could be as simple as one guy with 5 accounts focused on the same goal).
And, that is the ONE thing O did well in marketing himself for the job, he played the media and fans well, regardless of the questionably results. At the very base level, his public perception was a tool in landing the job, and that for sure carried over to making sure he kept that after hiring. That's why I don't think it's far fetched.

Anatomy of a conspiracy-- just enough truth to make it plausible. So is it far-fetched that opposing coaches could be marketing here against LSU? Are most (or even some) "nega-tigers" Bama plants? Or is that far-fetched?

There's no other way to explain Tiger Ree. 90% of his posts were on the Food board prior to O being named HC.
You O haters built the Tiger Ree machine. He likes the attention he gets from annoying the frick out of y’all. Lol at anyone who thinks people are getting paud

There absolutely are posters here that are paid to promote and defend the hiring of O. There’s no way any rational person can deny that.
Without a doubt.

It isn't necessarily far-fetched, but the end goal of that isn't necessarily worth the cost. Plus, they be more likely to support O because he isn't dangerous as a gameday coach or a long term hire. Hugh Freeze marketed for O, and many on here bought into that, and there's a reason for that. Any coach in the country would want Ed O on the opposing sideline.
On the flip side, O controlling the narrative here in some fashion would benefit him long term. It IS worth the cost.

There could be a few, I wouldn't be surprised. But you should look at the posters and posts. Most of the critical crowd are long standing posters with long history. There's a good chunk of the Pro O crowd that are 2015-2016 accounts.

You may be right on this point. However it would be "worth it" to bad-mouth O if it helps in recruiting against him. And if we are buying "marketing" theories (aka conspiracy theories) that plan would attack what some claim is O's only strength.
This year will tell us much more about whether he is a threat or not. His LSU record is 9-4 (or 15-6 if interim counts). It is not setting the world on fire, but it isn't chopped liver. If O is to have a long tenure as HC, he will need to take a big step this year.

Not sure why you’re getting down votes. This is 100% true.

That fact that you actually believes this is freakn insane.

Believe it. Hell there were a slew of accounts opened and all run some stupid propaganda shite regularly. They are obsessed with trying to steer the narrative

Just when you think it can’t get any worse on the rant, we get a thread like this.

The butt hurt and paranoia is strong with you. It was rumored many years ago that Saban had folks who monitored message boards, in particular the Tiger Roar Lair which had a number of insiders back in those days.
Regardless, the "narrative" on the Rant, which is largely anti-Orgeron, is certainly not "controlled". People post inane and asinine comments like yours every day.
