You joined here 2 months ago. I was defending Les back in 2009 when people were trying to get rid of him then. This has been on and off for 7-8 years. You think this sh*t just started the last couple of years? Where the f*ck have y'all been?

it has indeed gotten out of hand. these guys depend on ads to make a living but when the people who actually earn money leave and only the teen age tit suckers are left this board may get in trouble. I consider myself a fair man but i'm really getting tired of the 100% negative shite. the adm needs to boot some of these fruitcakes

Agree with you 100 percent REd. and as Gordy just said a little while on the radio with 18 of 22 returning starters why would everyone not be disappointed so far.

No. I see it at the games too. I understand the expectations, I'm right there too. That being said, when I hear people screaming how they wish the coach would die, that's embarrassing.

Agreed. Feeling disrespected by a college football coach because he didn't do what you wanted him to do is a tell tale sign that a reevaluation of one's life is in order.

Obviously not here, so I'd have no way of knowing that. My frame of measurement is only four or five months, counting the period when I read the board regularly but hadn't yet signed up.

During that time, I've seen the prevailing attitude here make a dramatic shift away from positivity and optimism and toward toxic negativity and outright hostility towards certain individuals.

I'll take your word for it that this place has always been this volatile and bipolar.

Yep.... I wear hats and shirts that say LSU. Not les or Nick or Joe.


Well Les is the HC of football and Joe runs the entire athletic department....

But I agree with the op to an extent. The board is miserable and many should prob take a step back and relax. But let's not pretend the negative energy isn't warranted.

It's just easy to blame people for being negative instead of focusing on why they are being negative.

Just compare it to other teams boards...they can actually have intellectual conversations and debate about their team...there is very little of that here anymore...
All you get is the childish name calling, the crazy, negative miles bashing and bitching about fans leaving early or traffic...
I come here about 25% of the time I use to a year ago.
The lack of perspective is what drives me from reading this place...Les is a terrible coach, the state recruits itself, anything positive is not his doing and he is blamed for everything that happens regardless (he fumbled twice this week)...the same narrative is brought up regardless of the stats/facts...it's very tiresome.

The other team boards have about 1/10 of the posters the tiger rant has. Many boards go whole days without a new post during the offseason.

It's different.
