Long time lurker (post less, I know!)

But we have a deeply rooted culture problem as a fan base. Last night, immediately following the Dilin Jones touchdown, the stadium was truly unhinged. We were ‘there’, our wildest dreams had come true. To celebrate this moment of ecstasy, TGBFTL made the pre-meditated decision to play ‘All of the Lights’, which since my days as a student has long served as a ‘neck substitute’.

Don’t misunderstand me, I’m no prude. This is not a get off my lawn post. When I heard the song, I knew immediately what was happening and I was as hyped as any degenerate to tell the mighty bama to STTDB.

Thing is though, our team feeds off of that energy. I guarantee you they were euphoric as the fans, riding the high.
And then the defense came out with no focus whatsoever, and folded like a family dollar lawn chair.
Suddenly, whatever focus or game plan the team had was completely gone, and Kiffin knew it. He knew they couldn’t recover, mentally. It’s why he made all the decisions he did from that point on.

Unfortunately, this is a program that ‘leans in’ to that energy. The celebrities. The hype. Hell, at this point we’ve even adopted Boosie as the ‘LSU Snoop Dog’.

For whatever reason, from the players to fans, STTDB has become the culmination of our existence as a program. It’s all we live for, is to be low rent trash, and that energy 100% bleeds onto the field and into the minds of the players. It’s animalistic. Until it ends, we will forever be an unserious, unfocused program and will continue to pay 100s of millions of dollars to be less accomplished than UCF or BYU (lol).
