Leaving games early.
We’ve priced all the real blue collar fans out of the stadium. It is more of a fashion statement to be at a game than anything else. (this includes some season ticket holders). They show up, take some pictures for social media and then leave.
Tiger Stadium is a shell of the environment it used to be.

To be fair to y'all, this is not just LSU. The tribalism of college football is gone.

Idk. I don't really have any major gripes. I don't even mind the redneck representation.

I despise nothing about us.

Entitled fans who were so spoiled with success that they sit for majority of games no matter the opponent.

I had an instance last year at a basketball game, where a huge three was made, and my buddy accidentally spilled some ice cubes on the patron in front of him. After not only giving him a napkin and apologizing, the patron in front of us pouted like a little girl for the majority of the game.

Redneck fans don't bother me at all.

I'm talking about the people who think they are hot shite, and too good to stand and cheer at a sporting event.

those will blow away like the wind when we start to endure a little reality in our shift into a new era.

i started to gripe about those, but then I realized... they're not real fans, so I don't claim them. not that many, but they're super annoying.

i do know a few kids 25 or younger that have no concept of non-fairy tale football. i do think they were still raised to be truly crimson and white. we'll see.

1. Drunk frat bros who can’t fight worth shite, fighting in the stands.
2. The fans who leave the game at half time to go back to the Grove.

Both 1 and 2 are also some of the same people.

I despise the entitlement and unrealistic expectations of many Alabama fans.

I'm a Bama as well as a Razorback fan.

As a Bama fan, I have nothing to complain about. As a Razorback back fan, the administration is clueless.

And the fanbase simply never wants or cares to improve. Once they get a coach, no matter how awful he is, they fear firing him.

It's happening right now within their two major sports.

I hate that our younger fan base has substituted “OU Sucks” for a line in the Texas fight song.

I will add one more thing. I despise that younger Alabama fans, the 30 and younger crowd, do not harbor an acceptable level of hatred and disdain for Tennessee. These younger fans just think of Tennessee as a doormat. An automatic win. Which is understandable as Alabama has won 16 of the last 17 games. They don’t remember the 90’s and Phil Fulmer. But all Alabama fans should hate Tennessee. Pure unadulterated hate. Regardless of age. An Alabama baby’s first words should be “frick Tennessee”.

TECHNICALLY, I'm a sidewalk fan as I didn't go to Carolina.

But mom and dad were season ticket holders when I was a kid and I've likely seen more Carolina games live than where I went to school (and we were forced to attend all the home games when I went there).

That being said, while I don't think I'm one of the stupidest people on the planet, most of you know I'm not very smart...

The obsession with a fancy set up in the grove that is more important than the game itself.

Believing, even listening to, the bs media knuckle draggers.

Wanting to keep a losing coach because they like the guy and wanting to fire a successful one because they don't like him.

The influx of outsiders who know jack squat about the program and history.

haven't been to a mizu game yet, but it's been mentioned a few times so I gotta ask - how y'all mess up tailgating?!?......

not a flame, being sincere, I don't understand how ya frick it up lol... it's a sport all unto itself that is pure joy.. food, booze, football, some music, pretty scenery, family & friends.. meeting new folks - hell, I'd say you pull up on a tailgate just bout any venue, any game down this way & you'll have a blast..

is it the weather? can't cook? socially awkward, what gives?
