You’re right, I CHOSE to be a fan 30 + years ago.
I want the best for LSU. I want them to succeed.

When I see that the dirt balls running the program, that I CHOSE to root for well before they were ever here, are running it into the ground, I’m going to voice my frustration.
That how things work and there’s nothing wrong with it.

You can be okay with citrus bowls, 9 win seasons, AD’s and Coaches who lie, Cheap Presidents who are filled with polictics, Rising TAF fees, etc. That’s okay with us, but get off our nuts for being fans who demand success and accountability.

Right back at you GrandDad. People like you who refuse to acknowledge that this is Admin and coaching staff should be burned down is the real problem.

hate to break it to ya but that "is" all you are, customers with no input in decision making.

when seats go unsold, and the money stops rolling in, that is the only time anyone looks to make customers happy.

Considering you're one of the worst posters on this site, I'm glad you're not on my side here.

Yes but in a rational world this would be a good thing. Normal companies if they want to extract as much money from you as possible try to give you as many reasons as possible to give them your money

You want to charge me 50 bucks for a hot dog? Well okay. I really don't want to pay 50 fricking dollars for a hot dog but I'm going to be really pissed about paying 50 bucks for a hot dog right after you hire a guy completely unqualified to leave the program

Frankly I want them to wake up tomorrow and see me as a customer. I want them to wake up and think of every possible way to get me to want to spend the money on LSU.
I'm with you ShortyRob. Right now the admin side is living off of our loyalty and fandom. That's the thing that explains discontent (consumer confidence) being down while revenues (TAF donations) not reacting in porportion.

If they were to see us as customers, and in that assume that loyalty can not be assumed and will dissipate, they would be more reactive. Not to mention it introduces some accountability in the hierarchy.

I'd take it one step further. I'd rather them see the fanbase, the donating fanbase, or the ticket buying fanbase (take your pick) as clients, not customers. With that small change in wording you have now introduced the idea of fiduciary obligation, or at least obligation. With that comes even more accountability, hence more responsiveness.
