Support the Tigers for all 4 quarters. They deserve it.

I'll be honest...I didn't read any of that. Not because it was too long, but because I'm tired of the whining about the crowd.

I can't wait for LSU football season, and I try to be one of the first ones into the stadium each week and am pissed when ushers want to run me out at the end of games. I only get to do this 7 or 8 times a year, so I want to make my time count.

But that's me.

The thing is, I'm not everyone's boss. Unlike most folks, I just don't have the desire to tell everyone else what they ought to do. I'd like fans to stay, but the truth is that when it counts, Tiger Stadium is just as ferocious as it ever was. When it counts. when it doesn't, it isn;t...and in 2013 when the tailgate features more comfort, better food and a large screen HD TV it's not all that crazy to see why more casual fans than myself would be happy to leave when they feel the game is no longer in doubt, regardless of the time left on the clock. As far as I'm concerned, they have that right to do that. I don't, but then I choose to stay.

My suggestion would be rather than telling fans to stay, suggest they be as engaged as possible when they are still there and it matters. That way when it matters the stadium will be rocking, and when it doesn't less interested fans can leave making it easier for you and I to leave campus when we leave with the clock at 00:00.
