People saying "they have had it with LSU Football"

These were not real fans anyway. I do feel for the fans, as I am an LSU fan, and an alumnus. The culture of college football and college athletics
has changed drastically over the last two decades. I am concerned what it might be like in twenty years.

LSU Football has changed much from when DiNardo coached, just 20 years ago, in 1995, when LSU won the Indy Bowl in Shreveport with Gabe Northern and Kevin Faulk. LSU beat a Nick-Saban led Michigan State in a game typified by offensive and special teams fireworks.

Back then things were simple. Tailgating was not yet the cultural phenomenon it has become. Bands were still allowed on campus on game day. There were few parking restrictions. These were the good ole days.

Then the salaries spiked. Coaches demanded more money, forcing departments to squeeze every dollar out of every conceivable revenue stream. The culture changed overnight, as the fans, squeezed by escalating ticket prices, fees and assessments due to stadium upgrades and salary increases, have become more aware of the teams failures and successes, wanting some way to justify the excess.

Part of me wishes we could revert back to a simpler time, when Tiger fans were proud of their coach and the young men on their team who won eight and lost three, giving their best for Coach Miles and LSU.

There is still dignity in loyalty.

LSU almost repeated the Charlie McClendon mistake. Alleva brought us to the brink. In doing so he damaged the brand. Miles and his staff have work to do on the recruiting trail thanks to him.

Alleva is not a friend of Les Miles, or the football program.

Moving forward this should be noted.

Happy holidays everyone.
