You literally post on average 12 times a day over a 10 year period. PRETTY SAD!

Joe Burrow is only a few years away from having the greatest season in college football history and in only his second year at Cincinnati is going to the super bowl. Sorry you don’t have anyone in the league you can be proud of of having so much success as a former player.

UGA fans have the other starting super bowl QB but you barely see us mentioning it. We're pulling for him and that's about the extent of it.

well... stafford's time at uga was barely worth mentioning when compared to burrow's at lsu

Is there any other fan base that clings to the success of former players like LSU fans do?


Well when you think you should be Bama but play like Vandy, you get a little desperate for ways to cope.

Stafford was in a Cap One bowl and a Chik-fil-a bowl for UGA...

Burrow won The Heisman and the National Title and had the best college season ever

What kind of fan base doesn’t cheer for the guys who put in the blood, sweat and tears to win their school football games?

Isn’t the whole point of college football all and alleged connection with the team and player through your university?

Not giving a frick as soon as they’re off campus is fricking trashy.

I don’t recall Nicholls State fans going all Aggie on this guys dick and calling him Big Dick Webb


And for the record I am an LSU fan, and while I hope former tigers do great after their college careers are over, I find the LSU fan obsession with former players a little strange.
The same LSU fans that will turn their backs on current players the first time they throw an incomplete pass, miss a tackle, not run for 20 yards a carry.....

“Once a tiger, always a tiger. LSU opens doors for you.”

I assume you’re solely talking about sports and not academics…

Also, the “once a-always a” is true about everywhere. Nothing particularly special about lsu in that regard.

That’s just my opinion.


Duly noted and appreciated.

The National exposure certainly helps.

As for posting here on the Rant, I’m not convinced it’s all shite posting. I know I’m super proud of our former Tigers…and yes, I like to crow about it some. LOL

Being a "fan" (short for fanatic) of anything is pretty unhealthy, since you wanna go there.

So essentially you’re a carbon copy of that dumbass TexanTiger68 who was also making threads on the SECr last week looking for a pat on the back from fans of other SEC schools with the “Omg like why can’t LSU fans get over their 2019 team” narrative

Like him, you both bitch about LSU fans not getting over their 2019 players while making threads about the 2019 LSU players yourself

You both seem to have a screw loose

It’s pretty good optics for a recruit when you see a fanbase show love to a former player.


You think future or former players give a shite about this? Adorable.

Show me where I mentioned anything about 2019 in this thread

And yes I posted a picture of burrow, but If you read the quote from 2013, you’d understand the context was about how sometimes even the most talented people need to ask for help.
