It was loud from where I was in the student section. Oddly, I didn't see anyone in my immediate area booing.
I'm less worried about "taking the TD away from Lee" and more worried about putting in a cold QB at a key moment. Bad time to put a QB in for his first play of the game, let alone season. I don't advocate booing either, but there is a vocal minority who are just gonna boo. If the recruits base their decision on that, oh well. There are idiots/passionate fans at every stadium, and the JJ situation is complicated and surrounded by mixed emotions from those who love LSU football.
I can honestly tell you that I have never, in my 42 years, heard fans boo an undefeated #1 ranked team in the first quarter of a game where the opposition has done nothing but go 3 and out. I have also never heard fans boo a coach that has led his team to an amazing record, winning 80% of the games in his tenure, and sitting as head coach of the #1 team in the country.
I don't think it will scare any recruits away. It may give them a momentary pause, but our fans are an overall benefit. Anyway, the world's a different place, old man, and you may want to get your hearing checked - this isn't the first time there's been booing in Tiger Stadium.
If you boo your own team in your own stadium while your team is in the middle of a beat down, you should be drawn and quartered. That is all.
Question for those *in* Tiger Stadium today... How much did wind play a factor on the field? The talking heads (or maybe it was Hawthorne... I was listening to geaux zone too) kept mention how TS normally doesn't have a wind factor since it is enclosed on both ends, but, that today it was obviously affecting the kicking AND the passing game. ETA: this was supposed to be a *new topic* could a mod move this please?
You're welcome to your opinion and I don't fully disagree. Of course, you don't believe in criticizing anything coach does, which I don't agree with.
Spoke to a few friends and family that were there. They mentioned how windy it was so I'm sure it had some effect, yes.
my sentiments exactly. it was painful to watch him take the field. has my worried. sure hope clm doesn't decide to go with a 2 qb situation!!!!
I criticized Tepper constantly. Let's see...since last year 16-2. Nope. Can't see anything to criticize over. Oh wait...I can't call my out of state friends and brag about how big a man I am because my team didn't score enough points.
