Monday Rewind: UL/Boise State – From the Bird's Nest

[RaginCajun77]

Last time I checked fans don't play offense or defense. They don't run or pass block, don't run routes, don't cover wide receivers, and don't tackle. Most importantly, they don't coach. Jay needs to focus his attention on the product on the field and why we were totally unprepared for the Boise State game.

Boise was not going to be rattled by our fans even with a full stadium. They are experienced with playing big teams in big crowds. I did my part and stayed the whole game. Masochism at its best.

He's bought into the Corner Bar BS conversation that hangs part of the blame for UL success on "the fans". Our admin thinks the same way. They aren't leaders. They think they're hosting a party we're supposed to pay for and make happen. BS. I'd drop my cannon balls on the football field to smash an opponent without one single fan within earshot. I could give a ____. When I deserve fans... they'll be there. THAT'S HOW IT WORKS... when you have big balls. Five year old girls need fans in the stands for tumbling competitions.

Only a bull without balls looks for who's watching. A real bull puts the horn up your ___ and throws you into another zip code when you enter his field. He doesn't check the stands. He doesn't bow before or after. He snorts once for good measure... and then he rolls 2500 pounds behind two rock hard horns... and then he makes sure only one big set of balls are hanging in field.

Fans?! Are you kidding me?!

Bulls with big balls.

We were there til deep into the 2nd quarter. We sat in section A and it was just as hot as the student side. But the play on the field was ad nauseam. The fans were not the problem.

22K is pretty much what I expected considering the circumstances of a poor record last year, early morning start and low hype by this administration. The fans had nothing to do after about 15 minutes into the game but either leave or stay and get pizzed and depressed at how poor of a team we have. I stayed until the very end. What else was I going to do after driving from Houston that morning to see that crap. I don't blame anyone for not staying. This administration from the Pres. on down, really deserves an empty stadium.

Saturday could be my last day as a season ticket holder. They don't care about us. They take every chance to blame us, and belittle us...when we are not the problem. Fed up. We should not waste our time with an athletic program that does not want us. Let them die on the vine.

I quit reading or listening to Mr. Moon when he took offense to being identified as a spokesman for the administration. He keeps claiming to be a 'journalist', but sadly refuses to actually become one.

'Fans' are a problem at English soccer matches when they riot. 'Fans' are a problem when they commit assault on players, referees or the opposing team's fans. 'Fans' who don't show up for football games are never a problem, nor even a minuscule part of the problem.

Coaches who put a clown show of a product on the field, administrators who demand nothing of themselves or of the coaches they employ and university shills who gloss over the failures of coaches and administrators are all parts of the problem. 'Fans' are not.
