I strongly think adjustments will be made by the coaches. BUT these fans won't notice them and will criticize them too. what this team needs is a field general. we don't have one. MOST of the time it takes a year or two for a QB to get good esp in the SEC west. our fans seem to ONLY SEE one or two QB's across the country that have progressed far enough to look great. the A&M qb is used as an example all the time here. of course, he didn't look so hot against MSU did he?
This was what I was responding to. And the self loathing thing is complete bull crap.

Dozens on this thread alone disagree with you.

As someone who has been to and spent a lot of time in many parts of this country, you sir are 100% wrong. South Louisiana and her people are a place unto themselves.
Where and for how long did you live in each place? And how long in Louisiana?

Small towns all over America are pretty much like this. Not sure it's a French thing. It's more of a "brain drain" thing where the best migrate to larger cities.

100% agree with the OP. I've been noticing it all of my years in Louisiana. It's exhausting.

LSU Fan--Yeah, we lost, but I'm still happy cause Bama lost. USL fan, yeah we lost, but I'm happy cause LSU lost. This mindset around south Louisiana is ridiculous.
I have a hard time believing this is unique to SELA. I don't have any hard evidence but ur gunna tell me there aren't a significant amount of Ohio State fans that are happy when Michigan loses? Or Yankees fans that are cheering when the Red Sox lose?
I think you are reaching a bit

The cannibalism part where everybody pulls out the long knives
As a native of south Louisiana now far removed from my home land, I concur with your thesis.
However, there is also cultural touchstone that can be a counter-weight to the nega-tiger (so called) motif: just look the Fighting Tiger namesake. Fighting Tigers were/are no quit die hards. Let's keep our eye on the doughnut, not the hole.
