George Costanza taught me to always go out on a high note.
This will be my last sports column for The Daily Reveille. So I don’t want to disappoint.
A common misconception of TDR is that we, especially the sports staff, have to essentially function as PR agents for LSU. 
We don’t.
It isn’t fair to you as readers and us as journalists to show any bias when it comes to covering the Tigers. If all we wrote about is how great LSU sports are, our content would be boring and the same information would be recycled over and over.
Luckily, my former and current editors have let me give my two cents on the highs and lows of LSU athletics over the course of the last three semesters. So why not stir the pot one final time?
As Frank Costanza says at Festivus dinner, “I got a lot of problems with you people! And now you’re gonna hear about it!” 
Here’s my version of Costanza’s airing of the grievances. I give you my 10 unpopular LSU sports opinions:
1. It’s the home of the brave, not the Tigers
I know it sounds like the cool thing to do, but next time you’re at an LSU sporting event, instead of belting out “Tigers” at the end of the national anthem, please don’t. America is the home of the brave, not the Tigers.
Show some respect for our nation.
2. Tiger Droppings is not a source of sports information
You know in “Billy Madison” when Billy gives the answer about the puppy that lost its way and the moderator tells him, “Everyone in this room is now dumber after listening to it”? Yep, that’s essentially what Tiger Droppings is. 
That is, unless you like to read and comment about in-depth LSU sports topics like “Anyone own or have a pic of LSU’s purple pants” or “Jarrett Lee is the reason for our success the past couple of years.”
One thing Tiger Droppings is good for: a laugh.
3. Saying “Fire Les Miles” is senseless
Miles is 34-6 in his last three seasons, yet some LSU football fans still consider him on the hot seat.
If you think Miles should get the boot, I have only one question for you: If Miles goes, what available coach right now would do a better job than him?
Nobody.
4. The PMAC isn’t close to being the “Deaf Dome” again
As much as I want there to be a great atmosphere in the PMAC for basketball games, it still isn’t there yet.
It’s the fanbase’s job, not just the students’, to make this happen. But it won’t until LSU Basketball can prove it’s no longer the red-headed stepchild to the football and baseball teams.
(See No. 8)
5. “Greatest fans in college baseball” is a myth
LSU Baseball fans are kind of like Sam Montgomery when he played for LSU— they show up when they want to.
Sure, they set an attendance record earlier this season, but if you’re the best at something, you don’t just do it when it’s convenient. Paid attendance numbers are consistently higher than actual attendance in the Box.
6. LSU’s consistently best teams are track and field and gymnastics
Look it up for yourself. Track and field coach Dennis Shaver and gymnastics coach D-D Breaux have been throwing out ultra-competitive teams for a while.
For some reason, they still don’t get enough credit.
7. Nick Saban is never coming back
Give it up already. It’s not going to happen.
8. There is a season between football and baseball: basketball
I can’t stand when I hear people say, “Welp, football season is over. When’s first pitch?’ That’s not how it works.
Next season, LSU will be able to play a brand of basketball that should more exciting than both football and baseball. You’ll see what I mean by this time next year.
9. Priority Points are the worst
Priority Points make no sense. They only count for football, yet you have to attend other LSU athletic events to accumulate points.
One problem: LSU isn’t helping increase popularity for smaller sports when students just swipe their cards and roll out.
10. Football and basketball student sections need improvement
The football section can’t have nice things,(See: “Neck”), and most leave at halftime regardless of the score. The Roar Corps is still a major work in progress.
