Being angry about poor execution does not make an unsupportive fan base.
Actually, that's exactly what it makes. A supportive fan base does not bash the team or coaches when they are playing poorly. That's what "supportive" means; offering support instead of criticism or denigration.

There's no rule saying you have to be supportive; but if you're going to claim that you are, you should at least know what it means.

Is is just me or has that kind of shite gotten worse over the last year or so? This site is going to crap with that nonsense taking place almost constantly.

Some ppl just take it too seriously. This team will be very very good, but they are young and must learn to win when the heat is on. The bad thing is starting 1-5 in the conference puts them behind the 8 ball and very little room for error.

They only seem to care when the team is winning, then they are the best fans on earth...
Really pathetic.
The team could use support even when they are losing, especially when they are losing.
This is after all teenagers basically.
Most of the crybabies are middle aged losers trying to feel like a winning team somehow boosts their worth. It doesnt.
Theres no reason to call these guys names, or berate them in any way.
I'm sure they are doing their best.

There was a thread last week about how the W/L record was not that important at that time. It was more important for the team to focus on improving as individuals and as a team.

Well, most of the responses were very hostile and the poster was called a host of uncomplimentary names.

Now that LSU has a grand total of one SEC win in baseball, I hope that the bandwagoners will GTFO and let the real fans cheer for the team.

I hope that the team continues to improve as players and as a team, regardless of the W/L record, which, right now, is not a good SEC record, in fact, we are fighting for last place.

But, I want LSU to win !

If by shite gotten worse you mean that this site is getting to be more and more like some rival SEC sites where the only thing you can type is a huge circle jerk, then yes.

Used to be a time where Tiger Rant was just that, where you could rant about something. Some of you are so damn overly sensitive about anything critical being discussed.

Sorry, but I don't think a thread titled "LSU baseball is pathetic and disgusting" qualifies as legitimate discussion.

...but bitching about LSU fans does qualify as "legitimate discussion"?

So let me get this straight, fans can't bitch or voice their displeasure unless it's directed at other fans, but not the baseball team or Paul Manieri. Also, fans aren't "knowledgeable" about baseball unless they share the same stoic viewpoint (that you have, of course) of the season thus far. And finally, don't dare come to the board called the Tiger Rant to actually rant. All we do here is particpate in group hugs and circle jerks over LSU. Does all of that sound right to you, or did I miss something?

INB4:

We are LSU
We do not accept mediocrity
Sunshine pumpers, etc
That's why it's called The Rant


Same old, same old after a loss, regardless of the sport. I'm all for intelligent discussions on how the team(s) can improve or plays that could have/should have been made but outright beratement is not indicative of "supporting our team". The sad fact is, it won't change.

This fan base (along with many others) has high expectations and think we should win it all every year. Too a lesser extent, I think LSU should at least be in the hunt come post-season play but bashing/name-calling does nothing to add to constructive sports discussions.

I guess that's my mini-rant. Carry on.

whoa...are you saying that the problem with the rant is that there is not enough criticism going on?

Perfect example of why this place is a cesspool. He wants to Rant and gets mad that some on here believe that the criticism should make basic sense and follow rational thought.

This is not much of a rant any more because if u say something about any team not playing well, some on here get their panties in a wad! I think most of them are about 12! Look up the word RANT & learn what it means.
