Why does it seem like a lot of the most negative posters are from out of State?

Serious question.

Is it because those of us in La. tend to see things with more purple and gold colored glasses.

Or because being out of state tends to lead to divided loyalties even if its subconscious?

Or something else?

We don't let them live here. Before electronic media, we never heard from them.

Because people who were born in LA and actually went to college at LSU and stayed in the area after graduating have more than a football team when they think of Louisiana State University.

We are more objective. You are too close to the situation to be completely objective. You see Miles on local media more and are more sympathetic to him. It is a psychological thing.

Because we've left the backwards assness that is out home
State run by oil
Barons, mediocrity and people who will
For example vote for David Vitter. So like, we know better.

I'm out of state but yes, I was a Miles supporter. OK I'll admit it, I wanted him out after the 1/9/12 fiasco. Then seasons kept coming and I became somewhat conformist, blaming Jennings for his below average performances.

I was then happy with Miles once we started 7-0. But after these 2 last games, I am questioning his inability to get the team pumped up for crucial games and his lack of creative play calling during games. At Bama, he had no Plan B if the rushing game would not work- none. Why kept on trying on running LF7 when as early as the 2Q it was obvious he was getting shut down? Why not go for slants, screens, option plays, or even short yardage plays? Why did he insist on running up the middle? Anyways, long story short, I am now a Miles doubter. I don't believe in him anymore and I don't think he has it to bring a team to a championship as he once did.

But again, who would be a candidate that could replace him? There's not too many great coaches out there.

Louisiana has the most negative fans I have ever seen

My simple explanation is that when LSU loses they have to hear other fans daily tell them that LSU sucks. The easier route for them is to agree with them and butch about changes that need to be made, rather than defend.

Idk people have their reasons.

What are you basing this on? Some of the folks that have wanted him gone the long live on Baton Rouge. And I see plenty of pumpers from out of state.

Because you get a different perspective from fans and media supporting other teams so it's easier to compare and contrast expectations and results.

You are also constantly defending and supporting LSU with other fan bases and you take more s&*t when the team lays an egg so it pisses you off much more.

All depends on where you live. I live in NC and there's not a single fan base here that can talk shite to me about football. Sure, LSU is not Bama but we're better than 95% of the programs out there.

That's a good point but i'm sure people in NC are sick of hearing about the SEC so you probably get more comments when they lose vs. win. Drives me crazy.

I live in Texas. I hear shot all the time and there's really nobody hear that can really talk. I Especially don't get how the Texas fans can talk shite but they do.

So why do it? They, like you, can't be very bright to take the time and money to do something they don't enjoy.
But is it fun to stir shite from the safe haven of their mom's spare bedroom isn't it?
