You, Sir, are exactly why this program in my opinion will never win another NC with The current structure in place.
The idea that the fans are responsible for whether or not a football team wins championships is pure narcissism.

Once in a while, sure I do. But since I'm an adult, I don't plan the next day's mood around it. That's retarded.


So why are you posting right now? You don't care so you just want everyone to know you don't? Now that is retarded

Where in the F do you get off telling me or anyone else what to expect from our team or how to act like a fan?

Get off your soapbox a-hole and come over to my tailgate (where I guarantee my friends and many others around us have those same expectations) and tell it to our face. Let's see if you like the result.

And no this isn't a threat. It's a f-off to the idea that if another fan doesn't match your lowered expectations that you created as a fan that all of a sudden he's not a real fan.

I would wager today that every kid in that locker room has the expectation to win a National Championship. I bet it was their goal and still is.

You're obviously a man who holds on to the past. Good for you. But there are many many fans that have moved on from those years.

Those who hold on to the past are bound to repeat it. I say change or die. But don't tell me how to feel as a fan. Mediocre expectations are pathetic to me, but that's your right to be mediocre.

I didn't.

Sounds retarded. No.

I've never shared what my expectations are, and I've never labeled anyone else not a fan.

Ok.

I think I made very clear that my point is that I don't hold onto any of it; you're not supposed to hang onto this kind of stuff.

In the last I was an LSU fan. In the future, I will repeat that past. This is the first good point you've made.

You tell me to change (at the risk of dying), and you tell me not to tell you what to do. Hahahahahahahhaha you goofus.

Nobody cares.

Again, I never mentioned what my expectations were. Can you tell me, though, what connection exists between a person's expectations of his preferred college football team and how mediocre that person is (whatever the hell that's supposed to mean)?

What a stupid, whiny rant.

What is your occupation?
If you are not the single best person at it in the world every single year, are you a failure?

What if maybe 1 or 2 others exceed your efforts? Do you just jump off a bridge because you are such a failure? Go to your boss and apologize and resign?

Is that what LSU football is?
Because we occasionally lose a game?
