Half the "fans" left at halftime, over 2/3 after the third quarter.

Clearly you weren't paying attention.It was not that quick. We were going nuts after that fumble return TD and the potential 3 and out for Miss State was the loudest I've heard Tiger Stadium (my first game this year). The big TD kind of let the air out of our sails, but we had them at 3rd down again, and again another huge TD puts them up 21. Some people started to get up at this point, but there was so much time left It was easily more than 90% of the fans still there when we pinned them at the 1 yard line. It was only until AFTER that and a few first downs later did people begin to flood out. Most were still holding out hope a stop or safety there would turn things around. It wasn't a nice site on television I'm sure, but let's not pretend the fans didn't wait until every last REALISTIC chance seemed long gone. The fact that it was "close" at the end is purely a fluke, a case of the Moo State Curse almost rearing its ugly head for the 15ht year in a row.

Fair Weather Fans = LSU

Affirmative

I hate CLM when we win. I really hate him when he loses. I hated it from when they hired him. I was a fan before him and will be one after he is gone. F*** CLM

Of course people will bash the OP because it's the cool thing to do on the Rant. I agree with everything you said.

"Blah blah blah, I stayed til the end of the game"

For those who stayed till the very end like i did

I was there, but do not share your optimism. I stayed albeit being incredibly frustrated due to the belief that we would somehow pull off a close home victory to an inferior opponent like we normally do. It appears that era has come to an end, however.

A mark is someone who deals out more and more money under the guise of support. First they say you need to buy the right to buy tickets in order to keep LSU among the top in facilities and coaching. People buy. Then they say you are placed in priority by how much money you give to TAF. People buy. Then they say the first home game is in another city, but isn't really a home game. People buy. Then they trot out a schedule that includes maybe two real football games a year, raise parking fees, add new fees, and tell fans it's to support the program and maintain a championship quality team every year.
Then they get overplayed by a Big 10 and luck out a win. Look mediocre against a couple of FCS schools, and then lay an egg against a cellar dweller in conference squad who is stocked with Louisiana kids that weren't recruited by LSU because LSU was off in Georgia getting a QB, Illinois getting a Center, and checking their star count.
So in the midst of an embarrassing loss these marks uhhh I mean fans leave and are branded fair weather for not supporting their team. If that's your logic well I'm fair weather. You stayed and saw some interesting football indeed by a guy who should of been playing anyway and wondering how many other personnel foulups the fan must endure.

So you are a fair weather fan unless you praise the team all the time?

LSU is 98-25 over the past decade, 44-9 over the past 4 seasons, all of which had at least 10 wins, with 2 SEC titles and 1 NC, and they did that in the conference that won 7 straight BCS titles.

LSU should not have lost to Tennessee when leading by 3 scores at halftime (2005)

LSU should not have to comeback and rally for 28 points to beat Troy (2008)

LSU should not have lost to Ole Miss in the infamous 2009 "clock it" game.

Also, we should have beaten Penn State and Clemson in those bowl games.

Too much talent on the sidelines and in this state to have those inexcusable losses.
