However, LSU fans rush to his defense when anyone merely suggests that LF7 may not be 'all that', or that he may not be giving his all to LSU.

Is it because LSU fans really love and appreciate the guy for his contributions?
Or...is it because they have spent the last 3 years (4 counting his recruitment) pumping him up to be the greatest thing since cochon de lait and they refuse to admit he didn't live up to their expectations?

It is because the criticisms of him are utterly stupid and motivated by jealousy and a sick desire to tear down everything that isn't Alabama or your school or that wears purple and gold or whatever. Fournette was hurt all year and kept coming back and coming back. Everyone could see that except for completely biased people like yourself.

Why would we not defend him? He never gave me a reason not to? And, I BLASTED Ben Simmons for his prima donna attitude as did most LSU fans. The LSU fanbase totally turned on Simmons because he just quit.

Maybe we defend Fournette because of people like you who have no clue as to what you are talking about?

He didn't even attend the senior banquet to support his "teammates".

Spot on.

And Alabama sidewalk fans have become so hollow inside that winning is not enough. Now they have to hate anything or anyone who does not scream BAMA. I am sure it embarrasses older fans, but the new gilded fans are so spoiled with winning and so completely tie their self worth into winning, that they only take joy in the failure of others.

They want it all and they want it now... like that kid in the Willy Wonka Movie.
