Michael Desormeaux Press Conference - Nov. 13, 2023

Well their decision deserves criticism considering we are two years removed from our greatest football seasons yet program apathy and attendance is nearing all-time lows. Their decision plays a huge part in the current direction of our program. Not sure how you can continue to attack those fans that are upset with what is happening, which is the great majority.

. . . yes, all 30 who post here . . . pretty small sample size, wouldn't you say . . . and it is interesting that those fans who are not satisfied are not attacking anyone, but the fan who provides support for a coach, player or University and an opposing view is an attack dog, but not the fans actually attacking . . . let that sink in . . .

I will judge this coaching staff more on the number of players portaling than the W/L of this year. One of the selling points of this staff has been the upholding of the culture and finding student athletes that buy in and want to stay. If there is a considerable exodus, not good.

Except for an individual standing out, I would expect below average and average seasons to draw less interest from the portal.

Show me a school message board that is full of positive cheerleaders? Not gonna happen, if you don't like criticism and feedback maybe stay off message boards? You are just beating a dead horse here.

In fact the bigger a program gets the worse it gets. Do you want to have more fans or less? The more people care, the more they will complain. You are not going to change human nature.

. . . oh, this is supposed to be a house of negativity with no response or feedback . . . sorry, my man . . . but I love my university more than that . . . turbine, you have anything to say about the characterization of your board as only a haven for criticism . . .

Its not.

A mass retort pretending its the board that is the problem reduces your credibility.

A one-on-one discussion of whatever the topic is, might increase your credibility.

He loves "his" university so much, he disappeared to TSAB for 15 years and only came back when Billy was winning. This dude is one big eye roll...

Years ago it was referred to as people who mind, and people who don't mind.

Now its slanted as people who complain, and people who don't complain.

The reality is its people who care, and people who don't care.

Your credibility is lower than Biden's approval numbers, Caviar.

If you spent as much time caring about UL athletics as you do attacking other posters who you suspect to be LSU fans, you'd be appointed the new UL athletic director.
