I still love my Tigers, but I had to learn to watch by keeping my emotions in check when at LSU.
Cheering is not allowed in press boxes or sidelines, and I make my living at sporting events.
Don't get me wrong. I still get very excited when I get to watch on TV. It's just not as effusive unless I'm with other fans and I can really get into it.

I was at the house watching that game as well, had way too many beers and lost my mind. Realized then and there to put these games into better perspective, after all, they are just games. In hindsight, I can’t ever remember any LSU loss quite like that one, I’ve been a fan since the mid-60s. Chill pill, sports are supposed to be the playground of life.

Being at that game and then driving home non stop for 6+ hours, hitting rain going through New Orleans was my most miserable road game experience ever. The guys that I was with of course were just as miserable.
Still talk about it to this day. Seems like this kind of shite only happens at LSU.

If you’re over age 40, the 2003 championship was probably more enjoyable than the 2019 season since you were younger and it was the first title since 1958.
If you’re under 25, the 2019 championship is probably more enjoyable than anything else, especially since you’re still young and just experienced that championship not even 3 years ago.
I am well over 40 and both of those years were enjoyable, albeit for different reasons. One was a defensive juggernaut and the other an offensive juggernaut. However, both were wonderful spectacles to experience as a Tigah fan.

Same here.

at a game I hadn't played in 10 years
for a school I didn't go to (Grew up in Louisiana, graduated Boise State this past May)
where they throw around an inflated piece of rubber.
If that's not a sad situation, I don't know what is.
Glad you got that back in perspective. People waste their lives watching this shite. It’s like so many other things - keep it in moderation.

I saw my first live game in 1956 as a six year old (A and M, lost 6-9).
The most fun I have ever had watching LSU was 2019. '03 was fun, '07 was fun, '11 was fun until the BCSCG. But nothing compares to '19, and I remember '58 also.

No, many lost the passion when Kapernick started kneeling, and colleges followed....understandbly so.

I grew up watching the Saints squander games left and right, from Russel Erxleben's botched "pass" for a pick six to all the ignoramus coaching decisions that screwed the Saints over. I also grew up as a Tulane fan and hated LSU. My dad was a Tulane graduate. I suffered through many heartbreaking seasons for both the Saints and Tulane so that's always been part of the mantra: they're gonna blow it somehow.
I didn't become an LSU fan until about age 19 when I visited the campus. Then I transferred from UNO to LSU. That was back in the Stovall era (U-Haul Stovall! LOL) For a time I wondered if I was jinxed in regards to football teams.
Bonehead moves by players and coaches to lose the game has been ingrained in my skull and I have come to expect it, so I don't get pissed off or terribly upset when it happens.
