    The booing is ashame. I think it was directed at the playcalling though. When run was finally called the cheering commenced. I was aggrivated with the 3 and outs too, but booing is uncalled for. JMO:geauxtige

    Last night was the first game I've been to this season. I've been a big Lee supporter until last night. He was HORRIBLE! How any college quartback can't complete a simple flanker screen is beyond me. He missed wide open receivers all night long. Oh, and the booing could have been alot worse. Most of the time it was a quick boo or groan, then it died down. And like others have said, it was the fans way of voicing their displeasure with the highly suspect play calling. Two straight 3-and-outs in the second half without a single rush. That's when the fans really started getting vocal. Everyone was screaming to run the ball. It seemed like LSU knew they would win and knew they could run the ball if they chose. They just kept trying to throw the ball to get Lee going, but never did work.

    Haha...

    Yeah, the sad part is that it's happened to me so many times before.

    I guess it's like George Bush said, "There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again."

    The booing of the opponent was something that started in the 1980's. In the 60's and 70's the students chanted TI-GER . . . BAIT . . . TIGER BAIT slowly and loudly, led by the cheerleaders. It was unique and much more impressive than the lackluster boooo that every stadium does these days.

    Cheerleaders suck today. They don't lead cheers anymore, they just do their gymnastics routines. Kids today have never heard traditional LSU cheers like "Hot Boudin" and "L S U Tigers Fight Fight Fight".

    The band leads the cheering these days, the cheerleaders are useless.

    Crowton may be a genius BUT when 92K fans can see you go 4 plays and out with the first one being a huge Gaping rush, then go 3 and out with no rushing plays and they all BOO wanting to see the run........ well even STEVIE Wonder can tell something smells funny in the fish bowl Charlie Brown.

    maybe he got his resume switched at birth? :hihi:


    and cheerleaders are useless, so it is written so it will be done.

    ( they do look rather nice at times though)

    The wine and cheese crowd Skip put in the seats aren't interested in doing cheers. They show up in their designer jeans and jewelry wanting to see and be seen. They show up wave at all their friends and quickly file out at the beginning of the 3rd quarter. Entirely different crowd from the times you are talking about.
