LSU baseball fans, more than anything, think that they are entitled to championships and act like petulant little children when they don't get what they want, they probably still want to fire their coach...

My cousin is an LSU grad. Devout fan through the high and the low, so I respect him for that. But man it is annoying hearing him start the "Fire _____" talk after any loss.

Loyal enough to lead the nation in attendance for nearly 25 years in a row now, and that stretch includes some bad teams. Something like 20K of our fans traveled to Nebraska to support our college baseball team. Do you realize how insane and special that is? No other fan base in this sport comes close to that.

We are very loyal to our team. 1/9/12 was enough sobering disappointment to last a lifetime. I rarely leave games early, even when it's clear we're gonna lose, but I don't fault these people for leaving early at all. The team should have played better and given them something to be excited about. Outside of the failures in the 7th and 8th, our fans had nothing to get even remotely excited about.

There's more to life than sports. Why would I stay up late at night to watch my team lose after another 30-45 minutes if I have important things to do the next day? 4-5 hours of my day at the ballpark is plenty enough. Same thing if watching at home on TV.

I'm gonna wake up tomorrow, and it's gonna suck like 1/9/12 did, but I'll move on with my life. It was still a great season.

Bad teams? You mean the "bad" teams that don't win the national championship? And let's get one thing straight, LSU fans don't have anything important going on the next day. That's why they are in Omaha fir two weeks. And the fans leaving early didn't have anything going on. They were walking to Blatt's to get wasted again. LSU fans are nothing but front runners.

---

That's a bit of a stretch, man. Yes, Louisiana's economy sucks, but even most of the LSU fans in Omaha have jobs and lives to return to outside of LSU sports. I know several people who make the trip to Omaha every year. They take off work and book hotels months in advance. I guarantee they're on a speedy flight home, then it's straight back into the office. Same for thousands of other Tiger fans. Not everyone can afford 10 days in Omaha, so many just come for the finals whether we're in them or not.

And yes, even LSU has had some bad teams under Smoke Laval, and Mainieri's first team in 2007 was the worst we'd had since before Skip Bertman. The fans still showed up in droves and packed the Box. Of course we prefer winning, but we will always show up and support our teams.

Men's basketball was a rare exception this past season, as I and many other LSU refused to attend games out of protest for the pitiful effort from the players and coaches. It was for the good of the program, and hopefully better times are on the horizon with Will Wade at the helm.

I'm not sure anyone is specifically attacking LSU Baseball Fan the poster. They are dogging his fellow fans and disagreeing with him, but I don't see anyone actually going after him personally.

Why are you guys jumping on LSU Baseball fan?
The guy didn't do anything to you. Didn't say anything bad about the Aggies. Geeez.

Since we are offering opinions, if I paid my money to travel to the game, I can leave whenever I want, and don't give a damn what anyone else thinks about it.
We all knew that game was over after Florida had that last push. Why be all judgemental about it? It's not going to do anything for us.

I'm not jumping on him or attacking him, I was just responding to his comments. I think everyone's been pretty respectful.

And only the good lord knows Hop has so many important things going on that part of his job is to be on here and tell us about this at 10 in the morning on a Wednesday...

That said, I've seen plenty of games where Aggies walk out in droves. It's not a unique thing.

Alas. New Army.

The most spoiled fan base in college sports. They act like Philadelphia Eagles fans despite their multi-sport success.

Hop going HAMM

I'm not sure I understand heading for the exits. It's easy to turn off the TV (and I do so), but when you go in person just sit through it. There is always the bar after the game. Now, if trying to beat traffic that is another matter, but this is Omaha, NE.

Yes, interacting w/ he community is one component of my job. I'm working...unlike the font runner LSU fans leaving the park early last night. Yeah, it's their right to leave, and it's my right to call them front runners.

Not every post deserves a response. You know, "don't feed the troll", etc.

Anyone have an idea of what our attendance was in Omaha? I Iive in North La...and growing tired of LSU acting like they were the only fan base there. Aggies usually travel well too.

Have you been to Kyle Field during a tie game, late 4th quarter? Looks like Exodus.

I understand their frustration. I turned off the game in the bottom of the 8th myself. It's not fun watching your team lose another national championship. 1/9/12 was miserable, I can tell you that.

These people paid a lot of money to be there, and the team gave them little to get excited about in either game. I love my Tigers, but I'd be pissed watching that in person, too. I'm sure some of you have left early if A&M was losing and you knew there was no comeback on the horizon.

I don't care who you are, watching your team lose is never fun. Especially in a big game.

I thought it was LSU's first loss in a championship game or series. The graphic on tv sad that they were competing for their 7th championship.

Got a lot of respect for LSU as a program. Dislike them passionately, but that's only because they are a top notch baseball program and have been a thorn in our side since 1989.

I have a good friend who is a D1 coach out here on the West Coast. Once asked him what he thought the toughest place to play was in the country. I was half expecting him to say Olsen, but he didn't blink... Alex Box was his favorite place and probably the most challenging for opposing teams. Still had lots of praise and good things to say about Olsen, but felt LSU was the toughest place to play in the country.

And I would agree with that.

He was talking about football when he said he didn't want to watch "another" NC loss.

Unlike football where the result is sometimes physically determined due to lack of time, baseball is NEVER over until it's over because you run out of OUTS never time. There are countless examples of baseball comebacks never possible in other sports, and college teams can collapse under pressure even when up by several runs. Remember Cal coming back in the 9th against Baylor down 8-0? I say your team made it to the last two standing and you have a slim but real chance to watch something amazing like an NC comeback and you just walk out because you "know it's over"? Bad bull.

The most telling thing about the lsu fan base was throwing trash on the field. For a moment there I thought I was watching a baylor basketball game in Waco. They acted like classless clowns of the big 12.

For a perfectly correct call no less.

And yeah, if my BASEBALL team is down 5 runs and still have more than zero outs left in a championship series I'm staying just in case. There's no clock.

Hell, we all learned that lesson the year before last in basketball as well.

Again....it wasn't just any call...it was a game deciding call....in a national title game.

The fans were upset.....they calmed down.....life went on.
