re: Trolls on team board

There are a couple of posters on here who used to be fairly level-headed and enjoyable, and are now (in my opinion) almost completely the opposite. It's almost as though their teenage child has gotten their account info and is posting as them.

I'm less than excited about the coordinator hires, as well, but Saban has forgotten more about football than I'll ever know, so I'll remain hopeful. I can still remember the message-board excitement when Saban first hired Steele (with folks having signatures like "Defense forged from STEELE!" and such). It's pointless to wring our collective hands over either hire until we see what sort of product they put on the field.

On the overall topic of trolls here: This is an LSU-based site at its core. In my opinion, LSU has maybe the greatest percentage of unhinged and on-the-fringe segments of their fanbase of any major school. Not all, by any stretch, but there's a lot of them. Since we're one of their chief rivals, they seem to delight in spending time mocking us and doing whatever they can to get under our skin. I don't really understand the appeal of that approach, but it's par for the course here.
