It's a proven fact that you remember the positive aspects of memories more than the negative aspects. It is why "back in my day" syndrome has persisted throughout human history... even Plato wrote a rant about the youth in his time being disrespectful and devoid of all morals.

Every time somebody on here goes on some diatribe about people leaving the games early they always go on about "back in my day" the stadium was packed from kick off to final whistle. How every seat had at least two people in it, it didn't matter the score, the stadium was bursting at the seams full of rabid Tiger fans screaming their lungs out on every down.

I find that hard to believe and you just sound like a bitter old person when you take a dump on the students and complaining about empty seats.

Nothing has changed. Casual fans will come to the game and leave when it no longer entertains them. Families and responsible adults will always leave to "beat traffic" in ANY sporting event. College kids will always leave to get to the bar where all their friends are so they can get blackout drunk and bang their classmates.

People make it seem like the stadium is always half empty. I can recall the Ole Miss game and the SC game last year being some of the better TS experiences ever.

And just as an added thought. The "Bitch I'm From Louisiana" isn't for you, it's for the players. God forbid football is played by aggressive individuals who enjoy being pumped up to some music choices other than the song from Top Gun.

There is no reason. It's the same as it ever was. You're just being cynical.

Well Delacroix I can assure you no one left early, no one would think of disrespecting anyone and thank God we did not have rap. Not only could you understand the words but vulgar language was left in private.

People today just do not give a F@@@

This is not true.





I have long said that the reason there are empty seats at half time is because the games, every game, is on a tv station somewhere. Even the bad, mismatched games find there way to a tv station. So people either don't go to the game, or leave by half time and watch it at their tailgating location.
