1. Spoiled fans

2. uneducated fans

if some of these idiots would watch more football and stop worrying about making the perfect roux or a 12 man funnel, maybe they would have some perspective.

"We don't have another QB we can turn to" That would be reason enough NOT to boo him or any member of this team. Please leave your boo-bird asses at home and with that, GO TIGERS!!!!!

We have a small but vocal fans base of white trash. They know of no other way to express their frustration, so they boo.
Their whole miserable life revolves around LSU football and when that is not going well, life turns to hell.

YOU DON'T BOO A REDSHIRT FRESHMAN QB YOU DOUCHBAGS. YOU DON'T BOO AN LSU PLAYER PERIOD.

.Lee was down on the turf, hurt.


My coach always said when a player messes up and lies on the field, it is not because he's physically hurt, it is because his feelings are hurt. I saw lee watch the ball until it landed in the defenders hand then went to the ground only to get up 5 seconds later then retake the field. If i had just thrown another pick had a spotty performance against tulane and know that silently my teammates may be wanting to see more of JJ i woulda stayed down too.

same justification given for booing our soldiers as they returned from war......holds no water at all IMO....

I was as disappointed as anyone when Lee threw the pic....but when the crowd booed Lee as he came out on the field, I along with many others, was completely pissed...

Comparing the LSU football program of today, one that is ridiculously talented as far as talent goes, to what "used to be"--when we had to resort to starting guys like Sol Graves at QB---is to compare apples to oranges.

While I don't expect to win every game every single season, I do expect a team with Top 10 talent to play to it's potential more often than not.


Say I used to live in a 1 BR, 1 BA shack, one that had leaky faucets, creaky floors and an weed-infested, overgrown garden.

I play Powerball and...win. Great, so now I call a real estate agent and buy that phat house up on the hill, the one that Mike Tyson used to live in before he blew all his money on white tigers and shite.

I get this house for a steal--about $2 million or so.

I move into this pad, and on my first weekend in my new house/mansion, the freaking roof leaks during a mild thunderstorm.

Am I "spoiled" if I expect my top of the line house, one that is far nicer than nearly every other house in the neighborhood, to not have a crappy roof that drips water on my living room furniture every time it rains like my old house used to?

For the record, booing the QB is not good form. If the QB isn't good enough to be on the field, the coach shouldn't let him on the field.

I don't agree with booing but something has to be done to let the coaching staff know that the natives are restless. We all expected the qbs to struggle. But to be this late in the season and seeing the qb struggle against tulane was rather disheartening.

I agree we are fortunate... but I do care about the Program. JL has not progressed and he is not a true freshman. 5 pick 6's, and 99 yards passing at home versus Tulane. Giving up 50+ twice (no overtime) I would not boo per say, but things need to get un screwed quick. I love coach miles, but we look an awful like the Miles OK St teams getting beat 50 to 45 this year. Poor judgement in not getting the right DC.

You would think after the 2 NC's we would have recruits that could step in and keep it going. It is not getting beat, it is the way we are getting beat and the way we look winning. The team must get a DC. I understand coach put all the eggs in the RP basket, but there are alot of RS fresh QB's that play without the talent at WR , RB, and OL that fare much better that 12 TD's and 10 INT's with 5 Pick 6's. JL has potiential but do not expect him to be a world beater anytime this season or next. He is good ( potientially ) but not top rate.

His lack of pocket presence, immobility to escape pressure and staring down primary receivers are problems. He may be able to better his pocket presence and staring down his receiver is fixable. I think if he played in a more traditional pro style offense, where he could work off of play action it could possibly help him. I doubt if crowton will go away from the spread.

you people are clueless don't you people realize jason campbell struggled for 3 years and carson palmer sruggled for 3 years also. you just never know what can happen, but instead of being ja's and thinking everything is bad and not fixable. start realizing and supporting people instead of putting people down. i guess everyone that is putting people down on here shows up for work everyday and never has bad days or chokes under pressure.

I am thrilled with LSU football. I love my situation. But I am not blind, and could care less about Carson Palmer and Jason Campbell??? They did not come off 2 NC's in 5 years.

I thought the tigers would go 9-3 this year, and am totally understanding of the QB situation. It is the fact that we have no options, and not blazing talent that kind if shocks me at this point in the program.
