No reason to appreciate the competitiveness of an opponent.
No reason to show any sportsmanship.
No reason to respect the effort and/or talents of opponents

No reason at all because we are LSU and our fans are badass.

Nobody is saying yall are bad fans for not clapping... Just that it's pretty petty and unnecessary to get bothered about other people doing it.
This board sure loves to sit at home and bitch about people who are at the games. The clapping, the k lady, CG... They're having fun, you're bitching about them having fun. Think about that for a second. Not that big of a deal.

Is this another one of those threads filled with LSU 'fans' who didn't attend the baseball game criticizing LSU FANS who actually went to the game??
Should have kept reading before essentially posting the same thing.

I was there brah. Can't make many games living in a different city though. But all the down votes in this thread just shows how delusional our baseball fans are IMO.
They're delusional bc they aren't overreacting and getting mad about it? I personally wouldn't clap unless it was an outstanding play and we were winning but it wouldn't bother me. It shouldn't bother you. It is not giving LSU a negative image like you want to believe.

You're right. Don't know why I even try. I defended CG one time and suddenly I was his best friend knighting for him. Never met the guy. Just silly how this board acts towards our fans/players/coaches.
It's like they want to hurry up and trash the team/players/fans/coaches before the sec rant has the chance to trash them.

This "we're such great fans" crap has been annoying for a couple decades. We (LSU baseball fans) are basically just frontrunners; attendance at the Box was in the hundreds until Skip came and made it a national power. Since football and basketball were going into big declines, people starved for wins starting going to the baseball games. LSU figured out they could break even/make money off it. It's become an "event".
Screw sportsmanship; I want LSU pitchers to have a giant strikezone, and the other guy to have to hit a dime (preferably in our batter's wheelhouse). I want double digit wins. I want our opponents to cry whenever they think of facing LSU.
I don't rag or harass opponents, heckle their fans (in any sport), or anything like that. But on the field, I want the most lopsided results possible.
Don't you?

I barely come here either. The same ol shite except the logical people that usually combat shite like this get tired of saying the same shite. This board is why I came here, now it's like the 6/7th board i check.

fragments of that statement are true, the rest is kind of funny, Skip deserves his due
BTW: I was on the baseball team just prior to the Skip era, and hundreds at the games is a gross exaggeration
we usually had more in the dugout than in the stands, , but, even though I was just a worker bee, it's kind of a slap in the face to a lot of folks that did a lot on the baseball field for this school to act as if there was NO baseball before Skip got herePosted on 5/30/14 at 9:20 pm to Scoob

Call it whatever you want, but the fans make it an event. They're good fans for continuing to attend. I understand that they might get too much praise, but there are other great teams who can't get anyone to show up at their games. LSU wins a lot in football these days so it's not like we're starving for wins either. The fans like going to baseball games and LSU wins a lot. It works out.

and 
I was a freshman in 86, it seemed like the machine was just beginning back then. I grew up such a die-hard LSU fan that I rooted for any and all Tiger sports (we had pretty strong wrestling and men's gymnastics programs before Title IX came and snuffed them), but there was a clear separation between the Big 2 (football and basketball) and the rest.
It's my memories of LSU baseball before Skip that drives my "lack of sportsmanship", if you will. Miss St owned the conference, and even they weren't doing a lot of damage in Omaha. Skip came here and absolutely seized control of the entire sport... and I don't want to see that end. I want us to surpass USC's title record. So, no, I won't applaud SLU because they played us tight, not during the game. I wanted our guys to knock him out early. Our stadium should be a hornet's nest for the opponents.
As you yourself noted, where were all these "love of the game" people before we started going to Omaha every year?

I applaud what can Newton did to us. It took me years to admit it but seeing him drag an NFL pro bowler 10 yards into the end zone.... That's just incredible. I'm a fan of LSU but I'm also a fans of incredible plays. That doesn't make me a traitor or mean That my loyalties and rooting interest don't lie w/ LSU.
I follow LSU sports and recruiting more than a lot of people on the rant (not calling anyone out in particular, just well above average). My fandom is not in question, I don't act like a high school kid about it though. "You're not a real fan bc you aren't loyal to your team!" C'mon.

agreed, as a player, you don't won't to hear that shite, we want to cut their balls off and shove them down their throat, after we've pulled them out of their arse, but I digress

but there are other great teams who can't get anyone to show up at their games
quote:Well, there are several things to note about this- baseball has become an established power now. As I said, LSU figured out it could make money, so it got the royal treatment, and the experience is nice. Alex Box is a nice place, our team usually wins, it's a good tailgating experience. It's now part of the rotation, so it would take quite a few bad seasons to sour the fanbase on going.
LSU wins a lot in football these days so it's not like we're starving for wins either.
The PMAC used to be called the Deaf Dome because it was so loud back when Dale had his teams rolling. Sellouts were common. Now, we see, what- 7000 for a big game in basketball? So you still have that element, a fanbase that comes because they expect to see a win... and moves on once they no longer expect it.
Baseball, and now football, have spoiled our fans. Where they once were rabid supporters, they now demand national contention, or they fade away.
