I know you're just trolling the Bama fans (poorly, it seems), but, to be honest, the most self-loathing fanbase here appears to be LSU by a rather sizable margin. No surprise, given this site originated with and is dominated by the LSU fanbase. But I knew plenty of LSU fans while growing up in Mississippi and they were never as high-strung, defensive, and self-loathing as LSU fans nowadays appear to be. I think the growth of the Internet has made a large portion of your fanbase insecure thanks simply because y'all are actually starting to see how the rest of the college sports world looks at y'all, and how y'all are measured against other programs.

Agreed.

LSU fans have always been this way. They were probably worse back in the day. You already pointed out why it appears more prevalent nowadays.

LSU fans welcome any comparisons/measurements to any college program in the country.
There are very few college programs that have had more success in the three sports that are most important to the vast majority of LSU fans.
The thing that always goes missing around here by people from outside of the state of La. is the fact that LSU fans/La. residents by nature are more passionate and combative than our redneck cousins from around the SEC. This causes them to use words like self-loathing as if it will shame us into changing. It ain't happening.

This is undeniably true of Tiger Droppings, but the LSU fans who post on the SEC Rant aren't nearly as negative as the ones who dwell exclusively at TD.
