I can't agree or disagree, but I know the fans wanted Solich gone after he did well. I don't see how that is different from what some LSU fans are doing.

I am lucky enough to have lived long enough to see all three national championship. Thank you for saying it a lot better than I could have. I quit reading and coming here a while back because of all of the hatred toward not only the coaches but the players. A friend told me this morning that Chicken cracked down so I came to see and found your letter I loved it but common sense is in short supply here.

No, you're missing mine. It's paying for your seat to watch a good product. You think LSU thinks fans will continue to show up to watch a shitty product? If you do, just ask the basketball department (or the football department in the early 90s). It's their job to put a good product on the field.
at some schools, the fans act as a true fan does: they support their team in the good and bad times. with your logic, the typical LSU fan can go frick himself in my book. It's about school spirit, pride in the work their team has put forth ALL YEAR, and pride just being there to represent the love they have for LSU.
Worst fan in the fricking world is the non-alumni who is willing to sell the Tigers down the river when they don't provide him/her the t-shirt they need to brag at the Mullet toss. That's not support, that's selfishness. frick that fan.
sure, I have some issues with various things that unfolded Saturday, but they won and they are kids who just went through the most grueling offseason in their lives......adn, guess what? the coaches want nothing but to lead these young men to success. I am so fricking sick of the unrestrained/childish tangents.
Hey, you want Les gone, fine. State you point and move on. Stop trying to sell your fricking opinion.

This isn't the 80's anymore
Les Miles and his coordinators are making big bucks
They deserve the scrutiny they get, if they don't like it, go coach at Tulane.

Dear Chicken,
Thanks for creating this board. I've been following LSU football for over forty-five years and, since graduating from LSU undergraduate in 1982 and law school in 1985, for the last twenty-five years I have been living in Texas. I was reading and posting on LSU internet bulletin boards before most of your users knew what one was. This is THE board for LSU football and I appreciate your efforts.
For the last two weeks, I get madder reading this board than anything else. Most of the posts I read I would be expecting to read on opposing teams bulletin boards, not our own. I now find myself attacking other LSU fans for posts they are making. I am sick and tired of defending our players and our coaches to our own fan base.
I would like to offer a suggestion. Would it be possible to have two different boards: (1) one board for those that (i) truly hate Coach Miles, (ii) wish him and the players would play poorly so that LSU will fire the coaches, (iii) feel the need to comment on our coach's interviews, his attire, etc., (iv) those that feel the need to criticize every play that does not go our way and (v) those that criticize every player that makes a mistake; and (2) one board for those that love LSU, that will root for and support our players and coaches every game, that will ask constructive questions, provide constructive critique, and those that will remember the good with the bad. I am sick and tired of reading posts on this board from those that I would classify as Board #1 posters. I am still interested in reading posts from Board #2 posters.
I,for one, am tired of the silent majority of our fan base making the majority of true LSU fans look like asses in the public arena. Sure, the silent majority says that “all of my friends at my tailgate hate Coach Miles” or “everyone at my office thinks Coach Miles is an idiot.” My suggestion for those posters, find another tailgate or find another job. Did you ever think that people are saying and talking like that because they know that you don’t like Coach Miles? As they say, birds of a feather flock together.
I am sick and tired of explaining to football fans in Texas why some LSU fans are so arrogant that they actually believe that if we don’t win a national championship every year that we have to fire our coach. Do you know the odds of a college program wining one national championship every ten years actually are? Do you know what the odds of a college program winning two national championships in five years actually are? Do you know what the odds of a college program winning three national championships in eight years actually are? I don’t know the odds, but I know that it is probably near impossible. Do you know how many college football fans in Texas would love to have two national championships in the last eight years?
College sports are played by young men who are not getting paid. They all make mistakes. Coaches get paid, but all coaches (NFL and College) make mistakes.
I have two sons in college and if my sons played football at LSU, there is no way that I would be reading any of these bulletin boards for the hateful, spiteful things that some of our so-called “fans” write when a player or coach makes a mistake. If my sons were good enough to play college football, there is no coach I would rather them play for than Coach Miles. I also think Coach Saban is a good football coach and he has been successful, but I would not want my sons playing for him. I like Coach Saban as a coach, but I don’t respect him as a person. I don’t know Coach Miles very well, but I respect him as a person and as a coach. He is our coach at LSU and I am damm glad that he is.
As fans, we have the ability to sit in the stands and watch football, a game that most of us love. We get to watch LSU on our "Fields of Gold." We get to smell the gin and bourbon from the stands, wear our purple and gold to the stadiums, let our kids experience our tailgate and football traditions and pass them on to the next generation. We get to root for LSU, win or lose.
Over the last forty-five years, I probably seen more losses than most of you have experienced as wins during your lifetimes. I get disappointed, but I get over it. Life goes on and on. The players will still walk down Victory Hill, the great Tiger band will play again and the next Saturday, it will be “Saturday Night in Death Valley” again.
I've seen LSU win and I've seen them lose. Of course, I enjoy it more when we win - but win or lose, I support LSU, our players, our coaches and our administrators. I would like to read more posts from our supporters than our detractors. I would like to read and post on Board #2.
Thanks for your efforts in creating this great internet board.
Geaux Tigers!

What moronic, self-righteous, sententious pablum. You are the Salieri of LSU fans. Mediocrities everywhere, I absolve you.
No one supports LSU more fervently or devotedly than many of the fans on this board. I was at the game Saturday. The second half was atrocious. There is absolutely nothing wrong with criticizing the performance of the players and the coaches in the third and fourth quarter. From any objective standpoint, it was subpar.

no there isn't. But, it is the over-the-top contingent that are Hell-bent to get people to bend to their opinions that are the issue.

I wish we could separate the boards into actual football analysis/talk (be it positive or negative, maybe an "x's and o's board" and have another board for the Miles is an idiot/awesome, wish we had saban stuff. The good posts are hard to find because you have to sort through all the crap to find it.

Thank you for that eloquent sentiment. Nice emoticon, you twelve year old. Unfortunately, your conclusion is untenable because I sincerely doubt that you have the mental capacity to remember my last five posts, much less my overall contribution to the board for several years.

When the right to buy tickets continue to go up with increased TAF fees, increased parking fees, increased concessions at games, restrictions on stadium seats so LSU can make another buck, etc. in order to pay out huge salaries to Miles, Chavis, Crowton, etc. with lavish buyouts
the average Joe fan who is purchasing tickets can state their opinion in an open forum!

It's this attitude that makes you believe you're a better fan if you blindly assume that every decision LSU makes is the best decision ever, Miles is the best coach in the country, etc.
It doesn't make you a better fan - it makes you a clueless fan. Everyone supports the team, quit telling yourself that you "support them more" by ignoring the problems that we have.
