Why do LSU fans defend Fournette with such vigor?

Let me preface this by saying I think LF7 is a fantastic RB who just happens to have played at LSU during a time of decline and coaching upheaval. Otherwise, he would have definitely been a top 10 all time back in the SEC.
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?
This LF7 phenomenon is strange to me.

Another Fournette thread from a Bama fan mere days away from the college football playoff

Sure he didn't win the Heisman but he performed to my expectation.
Plus from what he and his family endured during Katrina it makes you want to root for him even more so I'll push for him no matter how he performs. IMO.

Other fans do it all the time, yet you attack them

It's not that they defend him...it's the gusto with which they do so.
It's like all LSU fans own stock in him and refuse to see his shortcomings.

Why do Alabama fans defend Alabama players with such vigor?

I think you're looking into this a little too far
It's just a message board

He had the best individual season for a LSU running back ever last year. But yeah didnt live up to expectations lol. Its unfortunate he was hurt this year.

Which Bama player (or former) gets defended as much as LF7?

A critic might say that LF7 feasted on cupcakes and choked on steak.

He only really had a bad game against bama. Come on man its obvious he had no help (i.e. no creative play calling or passing threat)

Considering there are threads about every 5 seconds on this board regarding Fournette, the "vigorous defense" of him should be expected
I mean seriously, we need a Fournette Board apparently

If you think he's fantastic, how do you think they feel about him?

A better question would be: "Why do Bama fans attack Fournette with such vigor?"

Who's really attacking him?

Well that critic would have to not watch college football considering he's run through just about every SEC team besides Bama at one point or another
If you're going to troll, at least use actual facts. There's a way to troll successfully when it comes to Fournette. Pretending he was only good can cupcakes isn't going to move the needle very much.
Stick to him quitting on the team or something

LSU fans didn't create those expectations FWIW
