When was the last time you saw a thread about the University or how awesome it was to see your first Tiger game? What about the first time you got drunk and threw up in the stadium's bathroom? The smell of old Alex Box, or the eerie feeling you get when you pass by that stadium at night and the lights are on?

Those are all great off-season topics, but during the season i dont think its out of the question to talk about and yes complain about this..

We've wandered into conversations about Miles coaching ability and JJs qb play.

that IS the point of the rant, to talk about football during football season (Good AND Bad), baseball during baseball season and all of this

during basketball season...just kidding

I do see what you are saying, im not attacking you or your post, Some people do go to far on here and while i may realllllllly not be a fan of Miles i do not ever attack the players. I dont see it as a problem to criticize Miles at all. He is paid to do a job and it is a job that comes with a lot of criticism and do not believe that LSU is the only place this takes place. We have a differing opinion from yours, and there are valid arguments on both sides of it. It is not just the negative people on the board bringing it down. You cant start a thread critical of anything without one of the "sunshine pumpers" coming in with one of their "oh great, another one" comments and that just tends to lead into a whole lot of bitching. The negative people can be just as bad about the same thing though, im not singling anyone out. Bottom line...i agree with this 100%

We are all here (whether you're a positiger or negatiger) because we LOVE LSU and EVERYTHING IT REPRESENTS. So, I think the least we can do is to bring some civilized conversation rather than absolute jackassery to the board.

All it really takes are the few positive fans that are left around here to stand up to some of the worthless noobs who signed up just to come on here and talk negatively.

there are more positive posters than last year. and yes, convincing positive posts and "calling out" the real dumb arse posts that are completely untrue does have that effect sometimes. but, it gets tiring because it seems that no matter how many times some of these guys are called out, they keep it up and up and up, etc. last year, i gave up and quit posting and even viewing the rant. i was not the first. my LSU obsession brought me back and i saw, and hope to continue to see, some positivity with more posters. i'm fine with people complaining and throwing in their 2 cents worth, no matter if it's negative, but their repetitive nature and their inability to not spew it EVER is what gets really old. good post, Duckie!
