When did our fanbase become so soft?

Was it after 2011? Or more recent?
The shite I’m seeing today…just totally giving up. Sure, I’m disappointed. I figured getting into the CFP was a reasonable expectation. Fans are already turning on Lane, but they sure as shite wouldn’t want the coach that just beat him. Other than Kirby or Cignetti, we’d still be dissatisfied.
And now, we are ready to hand the stadium over to Texas fans next week. Maybe those takes are realistic, and me thinking we can pull out a W is bullshite, but damn…I don’t think this era with Lane is toast after less than 10 games.

Unrealistic and unreasonable people. They put a standard on LSU that they couldn't even accomplish in their professional life.
No one wants to lose. But it's year freaking 1. This ship will get turned around.

Pretty crazy....just because it's a portal thing these days. You still have to build a team/culture. Yeah, yesterday was one we should have gotten. But this year was always going to be chaotic, not really premier championship level. Nobody is doing shite in year 1. Let Kiffin build this shite, all these soft candy asses can frick off. Kiffin knows what he's doing, he knows what missing and the corrections. It's the SEC, nobody is coming in year one owning everybody taking over anywhere.

Saban called out the fanbase when he was here. Chicken Little / sky is falling types.
I just base my feelings on our team based on evidence. We have not shown that we can out scheme a good defense to get points when we need them.
We can't get out of our own way. If Texas and Tenn both had good offenses with lower tier defenses...then I'd be optimistic. But they don't. Both have top 20 defenses throughout 9 games.
I will watch the games and hope we win...but it will be based on hope...not confidence in our coaching staff.

A lot of these same dildos wanted Jay fired the season after he won a natty

Same thing was said about Kelly in 2022.

They post here anonymously because their friends or family would laugh them out the room.

And maybe during Saban’s second year as well? Are you stating that Lane isn’t building shite and we will continue to find ourselves in the Texas Bowl or whatever is beyond the 24 team playoff?

When did our fanbase become so soft?by
For me, I’ve become bitter Probably after going to 7 LSU Bama games traveling from NC and seeing LSU either get blown out or lose in close one.
Just tired of losing to Alabama
I’ve never tasted victory playing them
So I’m sore about it.
Spent nearly 4 grand on this trip
Was A fun weekend seeing family and friends
But I’m sore about the loss
It’s been 7 years since our historic season
We’ve not tasted a playoff game
We’re not soft, we’re ticked off about not being relevant
Posted on 11/8/26 at 9:55 pm to TexasTiger08
After getting your arse beat by Alabama for about 15 years in a row
Posted on 11/8/26 at 9:55 pm to TexasTiger08
He’s building. So are all the other coaches. It’s just such a different game with NIL and portal. A 5-7 team with the right players could easily go 10-2 and make the playoffs the next year. That didn’t happen back in the day.
Posted on 11/8/26 at 9:56 pm to TexasTiger08
We are tired of getting beat by Bama every year especially when they don’t even have Saban. We are tired of not being able to make a 12 team playoff
We are tired of being irrelevant. It’s as simple as that.

SOFT?
Soft is tolerating mediocrity. The LSU fanbase and especially this fanbase has been soft for 10+ years. It’s due to the age of the Rant. As Ranters get older, sports means less.
I wish LSU had a fanbase that was as rabid as Alabama or Georgia where 1 loss means the season was a failure. Those are fanbases that don’t tolerate anything less than what Saban built and then Kirby.
LSU fanbase will never get to that level

Buy the best robots. Plug them in. Watch them win football games. Travel to playoff games.
Oh the humans forget the human part of sports far too fast.

I am sure Brian Kelly knew what was wrong with that team and knew how to fix it.
He just wasn't willing to do the work.

Same people making excuses for Kiffin were making excuses for Kelly about being left wirh 39 players in the Texas Bowl.
There’s segments of the LSU fanbase, and I think most are big money donors, that simply want the casual fan to shut up and “rah rah geaux Tigers” so they can keep their access. At this point the administration at LSU, and the big money donors, are one and the same. They are the swamp in terms of government.
You’ll get the program you tolerate. People like OP are fine going 7-5 or 8-4. If Bama or Georgia do that, it’s a disaster.
Sorry OP, your soft bigotry of low expectations isn’t gonna rub off on me. And hopefully it doesn’t for the real fans.

I mean Bama went 9-4 in DeBoers first year with a team that Saban built
Kirby took six years to win a natty and went 8-5 his first year inheriting a team that went 10-3 the season before

And Bama fans wanted DeBoer fired and most still do. What’s your point?
I know after Indiana beat them 38-3 nobody wanted him back. And they still don’t support him. The only thing giving him a little leeway right now is the freshman QB giving the appearance of hope for the future
