I’ve been saying for years our student section has started to look soft. A bunch of social media influencers dressing up for games. Back in my day you dressed for utility. It’s your job to be loud. Cargo shorts held a ziplock bag for your phone in case it rained. No rain jackets or ponchos. You were in it with the team.

Don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining.

This is college football now. $50M NILs, $100M coaches, tailgate fees, parking fees, more TAF fees, more expensive tickets, $90 polos, $15 nachos, $6 waters, more video boards, bigger lockers, bigger facilities, more subscriptions, more, more, more....

Those that WANT to be fans are TRYING. But....this is what college football has become. You want everyone to pay for a multimillion dollar product....well we want a multimillion dollar product.

Losing hard fought games to a better team is not what we're talking about here. LSU football fans have always watched our paid for product, hoping we don't call a timeout when we have none, or calling a play that nets negative yards on a 4th&10 in our own territory, or the visiting team wanting it more because they just LOOKED like they wanted to be there.

College football demands we pay for more....why can't those of us who are paying for it want more??

1/9/12 and the playoff system has created this weak mentality where every loss is the end of the world. Saban always said LSU fans had catastrophe syndrome but those 2 things have made it so much worse. Be disappointed but have realistic expectations and patience for a brand new Coaching staff and 60 new players.
