I am not condoning (booing or Venting) it or condemning it.


Well...I'm frickin' condemning it! These payers are NOT professionals. Does anyone really think Jordan Jefferson - or anyone else on the team - doesn't want to win and isn't giving 100%?

And, ohhhh, what do you expect from a crowd? Are you saying we should all subscribe to a mob mentality? Great idea!

And what do you think goes through the minds of the 50 or so recruits on the field, and a few in the stands who made their way to Tiger Stadium on their own, when they hear the boo-asses? You know damn well what they think - that heading to a place like Florida or Alabama where they won't hear those boos might be a good plan. And, if you alibi yourself by saying you were only booing the coaches, sorry, it just doesn't sound like that to the players or the recruits.


If you are a boo-arse. Boo at home where you won't hurt your team - not just for this game or this year - but for years to come.

Every one of you boo-asses in an IMBECILE.

Is it reasonable to just expect just cheering in the good times and silence during the bad times? That's not a reasonable expectation for crowds


In college football. Booing is the exception not the rule. LSU has become one of the few places that this happens.

This is a 3-0 team who had a 10-0 lead against a top 25 team and boos were flying.

You go ahead and pretend that booing is the norm if you want.

No, I said that it's what crowds do during sporting events when they are frustrated that their team is struggling over and over.

Are you suggesting that people should not be able express their right because the players are young?

Playing QB comes with great responsibility and with great responsibility comes high expectations from the entire program. If you are good, you get put on SI and ESPN cover page...If you play bad, you might get booed. Fair? Or Reality?

I am not judging others that boo...It's just a darn game...let it go

3-0 record and 10-0 lead have nothing to do with the QB play and play calling during the game.

80 yards of total offense in the first half, 2 first downs, one TD as a result of a defensive turnover.

People outside of LSU are laughing at our offense right now..

Most top 15 teams would have left with a victory last night..

i don't think they should be arrested if that's what you mean. But I think they are pathetic and deserving of ridicule.

Defending the boos is as bad as booing. I find it pathetic.

Well, I don't think it's a good example for young children to see an adult boo, but at the same time, booign has been around forever in sports.

LSU fans are passionate, perhaps spoiled, but the offense quiet frankly deserves booing.

It's a booable siutation right now.

Understand, I don't boo, I just vent, and say "Get him out of there, enough is enough" That's my personal reaction to what I am seeing.

We all want to win..Whoever the QB is, we just want him to make plays, that's it...

Each week the other teams QB is better than ours..

I am not defending it, I am just explaining why it's happening

Get off your high horse on this. I watched the Florida-Miami of Ohio game and the fans at the Swamp booed at least 5 or 6 times early in that game. Also, think you must have been in a hole during the Zook years, when boos rained down on the Gators game after game!

The home crowd should do what they can to help their team preform better. Booing more than likely has a negative impact on the home team's performance. Thus, you shouldn't boo the home team. If you do boo you are negatively effecting our players and LSU. Thus, I hate you.

I've been in TS when Rohan Davey was getting booed in 01 against Arkansas in the middle of his insane run to end that year. We have some terrible fans that don't know anything.

With that said, the offense has been pitiful. This isn't middle school where everyone gets a pat on the back for trying real hard. The performance of the offense hasn't even been mediocre. 3 straight sub 100 yard passing games from the starting qb? False starts by senior ol and dropped passes everywhere? I don't doubt the players are trying as hard as possible. I do doubt the coaching staff's ability to put them in a position to succeed.

Keep boo-ing and you'll be paying your TAF donation for a seriously declining product when the recruits that are the life blood to the future stay away. You think it's bad now? You will make it worse. It's like drinking poison and then waiting for the other guy to die.

I see few college fanbases boo their own. LSU's is probably the most notorious. Sadly, its all seen as booing the players.

Why can't you people comprehend the difference between booing players and booing Miles?? I can guarantee you 99% of the boos were meant for Miles. This is no secret. I'm sure the players can figure it out but not the numb skulls on this board.

We have won 2 MNC in the last 7 years.

Expectations go way up!

Followed by 112th in total offense last year 8-8 in the SEC

this year, we are currently 115th in total offense

4 losses are coming..it going to catch up with us fairly soon...

What will happen? More booing...bank on it

Booing is a sign that something is really broke.

Reading JJ's lips on the replay he said

"Damn... Why they boo me"

Maybe he missed the part where he threw 2 passes to the feet of open receivers on another failed drive..

Do you have special voice capabilities that encodes your boos with special identification data?

I thinks it's well known who we think the problem is and it's not the players. If you don't, its your problem.
