I'm not one who usually makes resolutions, but I feel I can no longer maintain an emotional attachment to our football team. I've been here through the good, the bad and the ugly and the good again, but cannot ever remember having to watch teams of this quality squander so many opportunities to win, be it through poor execution, poor game planning, poor coaching and of course the continuing series of some of the dumbest ingame/clock management decisions I have ever seen, made by a guy making millions of dollars. Guess I've just gotten to old for this $hit!
I'm in your age group so I feel your pain. Hang in there Bro. As you wrote, we've been through a lot. I'm madder than hell this morning, but as time passes I'll get over it and before you know it I'll be counting the days till the first game. Don't give up on our Tigers.
Whatever happened to enjoying the game, win or lose, with friends and family. Most of my great LSU memories where with the actual people there. People I will never forget. Losing sucks, but being an LSU fan is so much more than that.
I am a tad younger but been a fan since 1958. You hit the nail exactly on the head. Could not have said it better. I guess age takes its toll, when you know what you got, based on many years of comparison, and you see the flaccid result.
He was never LSU Fan, he was here yesterday, still bitchin' about Bama in fricking January. I hate old whiney farts who pretend their PAST was better. Bullshit! Everyone's seen the films. Roll that Billy Cannon footage one more goddamn time. 1958 team couldn't tackle worth a shit! Players playing both ways, NOT because they were good, because the others sucked so bad. All white league.
This is the relationship I feel with LSU football. I'll be honest, I wasn't into last night's game at all. My dad, with whom I've enjoyed many LSU games, is in ICU after a triple bypass on Sunday morning. Things like that put football into perspective. It doesn't count for crap.
Shoot! Best to your dad, StaceyO. (I was out to dinner during the game, saw the last 1/2 on the tv in the bar--I was sickened--for the umpteenth time this year)!
