You can still root for LSU and want them to win while being honest and saying that the future looks bleak with Twinkletoes Flintstone in charge.

I'm not "behind" O, necessarily. I'm behind the team. Period.

Non-negotiable.
The ones that aren't keen on watching Alleva and O bring us backwards are the real fans behind the team.
By your "logic", ALL fans of ALL teams should silently accept whatever their admin chooses, or they're not a fan. Moronic take.

No it doesn’t. You are correct. I would not have hired O or E or Sullivan. But now that’s it’s done I don’t want to join the rest of the country in making fun of Louisiana or LSU. Watching Finebaum smirk and make snide remarks as if he is the utmost authority pisses me off more than the hires we made. Therefore, I will cross my fingers and pray that we are wrong about all of this. If that makes me a supporter, than so be it. I would love to be able to look down on those making fun of us in a year or so. If that means that I was wrong about the staff, to me that’s a small price to pay.

Because all of your crying on a message board will help. Get a life. You can’t do anything about it except to go find another team to cry about.

Agree with this. But the total tantrum throwing melt downs take it just a teeny bit to far.

so if we're not a member of the BOS or the AD, we can't talk about coaching decisions?

Maybe you haven't read the papers for the last 50 years, but people in Louisiana like to talk about LSU football.

yeah i can tell. i know very accomplished and happy people are usually upset about what anonymous message board posters say.

we hired an unqualified head coach.
we hired an unqualified oc.


at no point should any REAL lsu fan "get on board" with hiring unqualified coaches.

You know what we should do? Hope the team loses 5 or 6 straight to start the season so that Alleva will HAVE to fire O. (Don't tell me folks weren't doing that to Les since 1/9/12, because they definitely were).

That will turn things around.

What is your definition of a fan? I bet it's different than mine. Do you think fans should be silent when the program is tanking? Are you one of those "shut up Baw and get behind Da Tigahs" fans?

You want to the team to win EVERY game, even if it means you have coaches you don't want/like.

LSU fans are spoiled as frick since 2003. We just won 9 games, dropped a very winnable bowl game to keep us from 10 - doing the "coulda, woulda, shoulda" - we're 2 plays from being 11 and 2.

Now, by that same logic we're also 1 play from being 8-5.

Football is a game of inches and momentum.

But we're all allowed to raise concerns - I have concerns - I've expressed them in this thread.

You don't have to shut up. However, you have to get behind"Da Tigahs" or you're not a fan at all.

For or against LSU winning it all in 2018 (which means not only does O stay 5 to 8 years, minimum, gets a raise to boot)?

For or against?

Disregarding the myriad intelligent reasons why this is never a good way to support anything...

Do these "Love it or leave it" posts ever work?
