re: Never been one to harp on peeps bolting early

I haven't read all the posts, but I wonder how many that are calling out the crowd for leaving early were even there? The crowd was pathetic, I ate two tickets I couldn't give away, tailgating was Towson-like, etc. Yes, some of it was the blue hairs migrating off their primo seats on the west sideline early, and there were a bunch of no-shows in all parts of the stadium, but if anyone comes in here and whines about not having access to tickets and how the fans going these days have ruined Tiger Stadium, I will call BS to their face.

Good points.

My thoughts:
1) Weather was absolutely perfect (as forecasted). I was in shorts & t-shirt and it was a little cool but not uncomfortable (and I'm one who hates cold weather).
2) I don't ever recall seeing TS so "lean" for a Sat night game vs a ranked SEC opponent.
3) I think the LSU Athletic Admin has done a very poor job over the past few seasons in identifying, perserving, and promoting the things that make TS special. That said, the fact that our games are on TV and fans don't have to be in TS to see the Tigers play is a huge obstacle to overcome. Obviously, it wasn't like this pre-80's or thereabouts.
