Im 20 years old. Im supposed to be a poor college student. Am i supposed to be the most responsible person in the stadium? No. Im supposed to get an education and while im there.... get drunk, be young and act stupid.

I think you are very fortunate to be at LSU, a proud and outstanding university. You are supposed to get a valued education and "learn" responsibility". Are you telling me, that these actions are of value?

I guess we are just such bad asses.:angryfire :angryfire :angryfire[/QUOTE]

BAD wasn't the word I would use here.:thumb:

Do you really think that college football is for students? College football has left that thought many years ago..........college football is

BIG BUSINESS NOW

true story...Ohio State is a good example.

So now that this is officially the longest thread ever can someone who has read every last post please summarize what will be accomplished by this discussion of the LSU Student section not having class?

What I see is this...

I have no problem with the occasional outburst. It is expected...but to overuse certain words every time you open you mouth is juvenile. The combined effort to use foul language is also on the immature side.

I don't have a problem with the "Kick their ass" chant. I preferr the L-S-U but that's fine. It is when evertime another year rolls around another vugarity seems to pop up in a chant. That is what gets old. The "you suck" thing is new...I think it started last year after the Tiger Rag "*******s" was put to rest. It's just silly now...

Another thing is about the students feeling so self-important. Remember, current students, you are an LSU fan for a few short years; you are an alum for life.

In all likelihood, your perspective on childish behavior will change as you grow up and start families, etc.

I guess you are inferring that this was huge waste of time...perhaps.

But I believe it was Martin or SabanFan (in a related thread) who said something about making them feel like jerks so that they will self-regulate.

Is that a realistic expectation? Perhaps only for those students who realize one or more of the following:

A) I'm not the center of the universe (or tiger stadium)

B) I'm not a mindless lemming or sheep (i.e. must do what crowd do)

C) Screaming F.U. in unison is about as clever as a group of 5-year olds chanting "poo-poo - pee pee"

D) Someone’s family is being forced to hear this (like CLM’s wife and little kids)

E) It doesn’t happen everywhere – at least not to the degree we took it last Saturday

F) We’re losing out on great band traditions

G) If we keep it up, eventually my team could be penalized

H) Marshalls might start cracking down on alcohol - Ouch!

I) If I can get drunk and not drive - then I can handle this

J) We are selfishly diverting attention away from our football team

K) This sort of thing only validates all of the worst in rumors and reputation about LSU fans (piss bombs, etc.)

L) I’m better than this

M) All of the above

Sorry for the multiple posts - I'm still trying to learn the ins and outs of the edit function on this site.
