re: I don't know if it's due to older age, but I woke up completely apathetic about the loss

I remember a time when I’d still be pissed off on the Tuesday following a LSU loss on Saturday. Ridiculous.

I just shrugged my shoulders last night. The guys who wear the laundry I like to follow and cheer for lost. Oh well.

Whatever happened to these kids who were true fans of LSU and wanted to play here because they bled P&G and had pride for our state? Now it's all $$$

That's a problem everywhere.

Other teams aren't this bad.

Agreed. While LSU earns millions for playing major opponents in “neutral” sites to open Week 1, most other SEC schools start their seasons with smaller, less challenging opponents in order to get their team up and running on all cylinders before taking on a conference opponent. Perhaps Woody should rethink his strategy.

Exactly. Too many posting live at home, work part-time-if at all, own nothing of value, have never taken a college class, have someone else paying their bills, have no real responsibility, and worry at 4 a.m. during summer months about the band playing "Neck." It's nice to win, but if your team doesn't, life continues.

Agree with your post. Unfortunately LSU needs to have a burn it down and experience several years of below average seasons so that fan passion and interests may reignite once again. I watched Florida fans bring it yesterday even though they are struggling record wise because they are hungry for a winning program. Maybe with NIL that is a lost cause so apathy is here after a golden age for the past 20+ years for LSU football. I find that some loses I just brush it off and others like last night haunt me as a fan. The demoralizing reality that due to Kelly's huge buyout we may be stuck with this situation for awhile when it has become obvious to the fans that this doesn't appear to be working out doesn't help. GEAUX TIGERS!!!!

Yep, it's stress inducing to watch the games. Best weekend this fall has been the bye week.

Losses don’t just mean you are out of contention for post season. It means you are out of contention for recruits, current players, potential portal additions, NIL funding, etc. It’s levered up the “meaning” of every game and it’s exhausting.

I feel like I care more about the result than at least 25% of the staff and players. I’m tired of feeling embarrassed by the product that’s on the field even though I have no impact on that outcome. I realize that’s probably not true, but watching the body language I can see leaves a lot of us feeling that way.

I couldn't care less if LSU loses the next two at this point.

I hope I never feel this way. I don't really understand it. I won't disparage you for it, I guess it is just now how I run. Mabe I'm just used to disappointment

I'm not really sure how true that was or wasn't even 30 years ago but it is certainly less so now. There are still guys who do. Guys like Josh Williams who forego lesser offers to walk on at LSU. Of course, he still gets crapped on by fans here.

Getting older puts things in perspective. Life goes on despite the losses and there are more important things in life than the outcome of a football game.

That said, winning sure does feel good and I’d like more of it.

I was frustrated yesterday evening, but today I feel kinda numb. Like I did with the Saints while Dennis the Menace was still coach.

Same here.. I don’t give a shite.. also, NIL has fricked up college football permanently.. i slept like a baby last s night..

I simply don’t care anymore.
