re: Why is it that LSU fans live up to the stereotype?

I called football and basketball at the high school level for years. I understand fully the emotion that sports evokes on both participants and spectators. However, this fanbase has gone full blown bonkers with blaming EVERYTHING other than the play on the field for LSU woes.

Simple explanation, really:

we won 2 titles and were in the mix for more, for a magnificent stretch from 2001 to 2007 (with another surge in 2011). For a short period, we were on top of the world, the SEC and college football. This was unlike anything the fanbase had ever experienced, and it felt good.
It slipped away.

It's like dating a supermodel with a heart of gold, having a few glorious years together, and then she moves on. You don't want it to end, you're desperate for it to continue. You panic as you feel it ending. Instead of gracefully accept what's happening, you yell and scream.

It's why we pushed until we fired Miles midseason. It's why we clamor for the head of the coach, AD, chancellor and president on a platter after losing to Troy and Miss St. It's why we scream "bullshite" after every flag is thrown. It's called passion.

It is what it is. It's better than casually accepting losses as a given.

There have been some epic calls or no-calls against LSU in some very tight games against Bama in the past few years that made the difference between winning and losing - three come to mind:
1) Patrick Peterson interception ruled out of bounds and not overturned
2) personal foul call in last 2 minutes of the game in 2012 that stalled an LSU drive and allowed Bama one more possession to score
3) no call on holding last year in a scoreless game that allowed Hurts to scramble for a TD.

Each of those games had at a minimum a SEC West title at stake if not a NC berth potential. Call it nothing, call it whining, call it an LSU thingy......I cannot recall one game where LSU got those types of calls going their way. Lest we also forget the 2016 Auburn game when the TD was reversed at the end of the game. Miles got fired due to that loss.

Anybody that refuses to believe these refs don't know how and where their paychecks come from (Alabama) is either a Bsma fan or a fool. LSU is the only threat to Bama or Auburn almost every year. Not much different than watching a MSM coverup......just shut up and accept it - that's what they've programmed everyone to do.

Tell me one game where Bama lost a close game to LSU due to a blatantly bad call by a referee in the past 20 years - I cannot think of one.

Strange. I don't remember anyone blaming the refs when we lost to Troy. Maybe you're just seeing what you want to see so you can feel superior.

I'm guilty, I don't always watch where the ball is at the time. I see a lot of penalties in LSU and Saints games that are missed. Pisses me off every time.

You sound like the whiniest bitch of them all

This is a total bullshite call. You obviously are biased against LSU!

Mod, I believe he used too many characters in his message??

Guy's u had better get ready far a lot of little snow flakes on this rant! No matter how LSU plays,sometimes they lose to a better team. Most have never played football in their life!
