I'm going to be happy when LSU wins and pissed off when LSU loses. Just like every fan should be.


That’s just it, a large segment of the fan base is pissed off even when LSU wins. Look at the last two years. SECCG in year one of BK, Heisman winner in year two. Check this board at practically any time, and you’ll see incessant bitching and moaning.

You just described 95% of all big football programs and people who post message boards.

Good

The only way to have a spoiled fan base is to first have a successful program

Once you get there, there is only one thing can kill it, complacency, that’s how you get the final orgeron years

Celebrate the wins, complain about the losses, big and small, be a fan in your own way, and expect stupid shite to be posted a message board as it has been since the first message board ever created.

There isn’t an opinion on here worth getting in a tizzy over. Have some perspective and Have fun with it

When a coach signs a 100 million dollar contract he’s expected to produce wins not awards and doesn’t get the benefit of patience.


He was not hired to win a title immediately. He was hired to establish a culture that would lead to competing every year. I would say he on on pace so far.

Generational, yes, but I also know what this program is capable of. I’ve witnessed it 3 times. No reason we shouldn’t be in the conversation on a regular basis. Mediocrity is for Columbia, Oxford and College Station.

Nothing. 2019 was arguably the best college football team ever assembled. And that is the only 10 win regular season out of the last 10 seasons.




LSU has had 1 coach win 10 regular season games more than once. He did it 6 times.

I'm an old fart born a few years after the '58 championship. I remember some dark years. I never thought I would ever see LSU win a national championship. I remember being happy if we were just ranked, Top 10 was unlikely most years. I never thought I'd see a Heisman winner from LSU.


Same here. I remember listening to Ky broadcaster back in about the middle of the Dinardo regime, speculating that LSU would never be a power again.
Then Emmert and Saban happened. The truth was exposed. There was a management problem.

While I remember vividly being happy to go to the independence bowl, we have a football department set up to compete for championships on a yearly bases. Doesn’t mean we will play or win it every year but no one is getting excited going 8-4 9-3.

No shite. You are literally on tRant, LSU board.

But we got to witness a dream team that anyone would kill for. 15-0 Natty with the best offense CFB has ever seen. Period.

And two Heisman winners in four years.

Suck on that shite.
Some of us were here for many years and never seen a Natty or Heisman. You're the spoiled one.

This fan base is largely why winning is EXPECTED at LSU.
Look at Iowa. They are content with making a bowl game. The state of Louisiana would be bedlam.

So, by the logic, if you ever fricked a hot woman you wouldn't try to do it again?


No you should continue trying, but if you keep striking out and your peers around you are continuing to score, you should just remember that the one that you bagged years ago was the best ever. 1995 and 2001 still work for Nebraska and Miami to this day

Is complaining and whining about fans at the top of that list?
