You all can talk all you want about examples of the LSU effect...but the Grand Daddy of them all, the Big Kahuna, the Numero Uno, the One and Only example is:

No. 10 LSU 40, No. 9 Miami 3 - College Football - Rivals.com

LSU stomped Miami (Thug U) 40 to 3 in the Peach Bowl. Miami players started trash talking with Dwayne Bowe and a fight broke out resulting in several Miami players getting knocked unconscious.

They got their butts whipped every which way...

...and have never been the same since. This was a knockout blow that lasted several years and a couple of coaching regimes. They still aren't the same today.

That's the LSU effect I'm talking about:tigereye:.

That's the one I was thinking about, too. Add Notre Dame to that list, too. You might also wanna throw Va Tech into that pile. Talk about an @$$ whippin!

I know it had a GREAT VIBE during the Florida game, but later in the year it got shady at times. I mean, people really got tired of dull offense so it's not totally unwarranted.

I agree whole heartedly about the new "fanbase". My brother and I were just talking about how the fan base changed to somewhat hoity toity bandwagoners after we started winning games and :crystal::crystal:!!

It will get a lot better when they "weed out" and the "common folk" take back over!! I just hope we don't have to go 4-8 for it to get back to being the way it was.

The "common folk" can no longer afford tickets and the "hoity toity" are the only ones left. Also the "wait until next year" was used last year and no really positive results. Notice where we are ranked on offense in 120 BCS schools? A lot of those so called "hoity toity" also notice and decided they didn't want to pump sunshine.

What pains me is to see LSU fans making posts that continue to take away from the greatness that is LSU. It is one thing to see and point out legit concerns. It is one thing to want our Tigers to be the best every yr. It is one thing to want our Tigers to compete for the SEC title every year. But to see LSU fans continue to chip away at this greatness is very disheartening. To continue to talk about how great Saban is, to continue to talk about how we will be the 3rd best team in the SEC, to continue to talk about how no one fears us anymore, all of this is the fans, it isn't the coach, it isn't the players, it is the fans that have become spoiled and unappreciative for how great we do have it.

Every team, in the history of college football, goes thru off years, and we are no different. Every team can go thru a series of events or injuries that make seasons less than what fans want. Every team has to rebuild or reload, make necessary changes to improve, and do their best to put the best team on the field. LSU is no different. Coach Miles is no different. Many are talking about the past 2 yrs like that is the essence of LSU football now, when in reality it is the past 5 yrs under Miles that we all need to look at. His record has been discussed from every angle. Is he perfect no, but neither are the coaches that some would claim are better than him. Urban had his horrible yr following a MNC, and he just lost in the SECCG to a team that his talent should have beaten. Saban has had his horrible seasons and moments. He followed LSU's MNC with a 9-4 season, and has lost to several lessor teams over his coaching career.

If LSU fans want to stay on top, then LSU fans need to look to themselves first. Have your complaints and criticisms, but look to the team and the coaches to always compete to be the best. Miles has proven that he brings in winners, even if they are only effective for one season, see GC, but he brings in winners. This team, now and in to the future will continue to be one of the best teams in the SEC and in the country. No one will "Want" to play LSU, I say BS, why, because they will continue to fear the team and coaching staff they will face, and they will continue to fear the fan base and playing in Tiger Stadium.

We have the best team in the country to be a fan of, this decade, the best fan base for a team to play for, and the best stadium to watch and play our games in. Now get back to being the hungry fans from 2001-2004, and quit being this fan base that EXPECTS to be given the best team. We are part of that Greatness, but we have to be behind them and support them at all times. :geaux: :tigereye: :LSU231:
