If You’re One of THOSE LSU Fans, Please Shut Up
– From the Bird’s Nest
By Jay Walker October 27, 2014 11:34 AM

"Okay, enough is enough.

Chances are, if you’re an LSU fan, you were thrilled with the Tigers’ 10-7 win over Ole Miss that knocked the Rebels out of the #3 spot in the polls. Well, you should be.

But, as always, there’s a group of LSU fans that aren’t.

Those are the ones who think Les Miles is a terrible coach. Those are the ones who think it was time for a change several years ago. Those are the ones who say “been sayin’ it for years, he’s a plug.”

I actually saw that, and more on Facebook.

And, sure enough, I saw this one after the game. “We can’t even score more than ten freaking points. This guy is horrible. He needs to go to Ann Arbor after this season.”

With the win over Ole Miss on Saturday, Les Miles is now 102-26.

Let that sink in for a minute. A hundred and freaking two. That’s an average of more than ten wins per season and there are still three more games to go this season.

The Tigers once again have an opportunity to win ten games this year. For the sixth consecutive season and the eighth in ten years under Miles. This team is 7-2 in what some radio analysts said was going to be a rebuilding year.

“I’m sick of looking at your stupid ass in purple and gold.”

He’s won a national championship…played for a second one…he’s won eleven or more games FIVE times.

“I’m embarrassed that’s our coach. Hopefully he’s gone after this year.”

If you’re embarrassed with 102-26, how did you feel about Curley Hallman. Or Mike Archer…or Gerry DiNardo?

This one really make me laugh. “These are the hard times for LSU.” Honest. Someone typed that.

Now, understand, we’re talking about a very vocal minority of fans. And, most schools have them. But those schools aren’t in our backyard. LSU is.

I have said it many times, I am not an LSU fan. Don’t root for them much. Don’t root against them much. But Les Miles and these particular fans are making me smile when Les wins another one. Because it shows these people just how utterly stupid they are.

Les Miles isn’t Superman. He has done some curious things…especially when it comes to clock management. I get that. And, I’m not ignoring it. But the guy is 102-26. That’s almost 80 percent.

“A freaking monkey could coach the talent you have.” Ummm. Let me ask….who brought in this talent. Who recruited this talent. Who closed the deal on this talent?

That’s right. Good ole “Elmer Fudd.”

And this has been going on for a while now. I remember when LSU was coming off their two worst seasons under Miles (17-9). Some were screaming for his head two games into the following season…both LSU wins. And the fans kept it up. Win after win came and finally I asked one (one who was old enough to remember Hallman, et al, did they notice LSU’s record. You know what their response was? Well, the Tigers are winning, but they need to go ahead and fire him after NEXT season.

NEXT season LSU played for the national championship.

Les Miles is a good man. A moral man. He is devoted to his family. He is not Bobby Petrino.

I’m old enough to remember some other great years at LSU. Archie Who? Bert Jones against Ole Miss as time expired. Great bowl wins too. But Charlie McClendon couldn’t beat Bear Bryant. Fans criticized just about everything the winningest coach (in games won) in LSU history. “GO AHEAD AND RUN OFF TACKLE, YOU SON OF A #$%^^&(*.

Finally, the fans succeeded in running LSU off. It was the last time LSU was truly consistent until Nick Saban, and now, Les Miles came along.

Miles is the winningest coach (percentage) in LSU history. But the shadow of Nick Saban is with him, just as Bryant’s was with Cholly Mac. The wins? They don’t matter to these folks, a minority, but a very loud one. And, as a result, he’s an embarrassment. He’s coaching a team a freaking monkey could coach. His ass looks stupid in purple and gold.

He’s a plug. He’s Elmer Fudd.

What is that old saying, those do not learn from their mistakes are destined to repeat them……I see a real parallel.

After the loudmouths got rid of McClendon, LSU wasn’t a consistent winner for twenty years. Be careful what you wish for.

The real LSU fans don’t deserve to go through that again.

But it would serve the loudmouths right."

90% of the Les Miles criticisms on this board are legit and frankly, are understood. What some fans would have issue with a stubborn game plan, some are OK with. It has won us near 80% of our games yes, but it also lost us games such as 2011 NC.

Most of that shit I just read is not the banter on this forum from the regulars.

If you want us to leave. Just ask.

Leave? Hell naw. We need more people with differing opinions. That's what makes it fun. Hell sometimes I slap shane on the head just for shits & giggles even though I have no strong opinion on a matter. I used to love to razz NCTiger but he knows me too well now. shane too, he's just to coullion to lay off. Getting red to use terms like "Gilligan" is an art-and one of my proudest accomplishments.

We need more arguing.

Oh come on that's a woman's rebuttal. If y'all left who would we argue with?

One thing I know to be 100% true is that the thing we mostly have in common is we all love the Tigers, and that trumps opinion in my book. None of it's personal, regardless of how heated or opinionated we all get. It's all love brother.

According to some, we actually hate everything that is LSU and know more than the coaches 24/7

Seriously. Any opinion that points to a flaw in our team, (and there are flaws) is labeled and shut down instantly with this new "minions".

Guess what, if Les Miles wins 80%, hes 20% away from perfect!. So that means I get to bitch 20% of the time!!!!!!

Like I once told SabanFan, fans enjoy sports/LSU in different ways. Some people enjoy coaching the team Monday morning while others love the color of our unis. Others, still, aren't happy with anything short of total domination while some just enjoy the party and don't even know the names of 5 players. Keep things in perspective.

Yep 80% & 2 SEC Championships, 2 trips to the NC. When was LSU ever good enough before Miles got here, to even get close to the NC not once, but twice?

Exhibit A.

WHAT does any of that mean??

You act like people deny what he has done........ he has made mistakes and we "TALK ABOUT THEM".

Players make mistakes....and......."we talk about them"...

I have also seen those that you label praise Miles and the players for what they "have done".
