LSU Players Last Night

[boxerdog]

I saw at least 3 LSU games on TV this year and I can't ever remember him making a tackle or breaking up a pass. They must pull him out of the game in the first quarter.

I noticed him sucking in a few games. Other than that, I forget he's on the team.

He's one of those big high school players that come out of West Monroe and never does anything in college. Like most other players that move on after they graduate from West Monroe

It just depresses me to know that there are so many students who do not like Tech, yet they go here. I was talking to one of my professors about it and he said the same thing I do: students complain about the lack of school spirit around here, yet THEY are the ones who will miss a football game to watch LSU. The problem isn't the school not winning. It's the alumni who will NEVER support Tech no matter what we do. We don't have as much money as LSU because OUR alumni support them and not us. It's not fair and it's just not right.

This makes me sick.

I agree. And when you ask students why they jock LSU the same answer always comes up. Cause they are good. Thats a real good reason to like LSU

And you know it's okay if they want to like LSU. Heck I'm from Mississippi and I like Ole Miss and Mississippi State. But if you go to a school and that school is spending its money and time to give you a degree, it's just not right to support another ABOVE your own. And me being a Tech fan literally my whole life (my dad went here; i've been watching footbal games for 17 years and I'm 18), I HATE LSU with a passion because of how they look at Tech. And any other school for that matter.

[boxerdog]

To be fair, LSU did just win the national championship. Most people in the state were rooting for them in that game. Anyway, I think it's misguided to try to confront LSU jocking, that doesn't help. We need to be secure in our identity as Tech fans. Don't be afraid to let your loyalties be known, but do it in a tactful manner.

I just got back from the bathroom

I can understand that. I mean I thought it was just wrong to do that. And when I was booing them with the other football players, my friends are like why do you hate LSU and I said I dont hate them, Im just not a fan. And I said it is wrong to chant LSU when you have Tech players everywhere. Yes I do have some friends that play LSU baseball and football down there and I will support them no matter what. Im just not a fan and I will never chant LSU as long as I live

I agree completely. The really sad things is that 90% of those tech students who were chanting had no idea that it was offensive to tech fans and players even though they are in Ruston. To me that is the biggest slap in the face.

Sad to hear that Tech students yell LSU and sing the LSU fight song. I would really be curious to find out how many Tech students know the words to Tech's songs??? As part of the BOP when I attended Tech, we learned all of them and I think it should be required for all incoming freshmen to learn the words to the songs..

Hopefully, when we start to make a splash, some students/players will go out and do the same thing in Baton Rouge! That would be funny!

The Que Stick sucks big time...racial incidents, fights, raising prices on Long Islands, and now this.

I know they trying doing that at orientation but I dont know how well it helps. And also big KB (former player) and Clayton Chambers are security guards up there. I wouldve loved to see them yank them off the stage and throw the players out of the club

I'd be the first one to do it, too.

BTW I think it's funny that I watched the national championship game with a Michigan fan but he hates LSU SO much that he still rooted for Ohio State...

Oh sorry, BCS Championship...they are NOT National Champs.

Yeah. It does suck and im wishing that I didnt go now cause I wouldnt have to put up with LSU chants
