re: "Saturday's Ole Miss at LSU game could be a classic ... for those who stay "

When you have 80K - 100K people for an event, there is always going to be a number who leave early or don't show for whatever reason: trouble getting to game; unexpected emergency; illness; etc.

I'll never understand the logic of the people who pay the money for tickets and take the time to get to the game only to leave early during a game where the final outcome isn't clear. Blowouts either way are a different story. I'm an LSU fan first, but a college football fan as well. Frankly, it's just boring for me to sit and watch LSU beat up on someone like New Mexico St. in the second half. I'd rather head out early and spend time with my family and/or watch more interesting games at that point.

All that said, if this game is within 3 TDs (either way) at halftime and people start leaving in droves (especially the students) then shame on them. Why even waste time coming to the game? Sell or give your tickets to some underprivileged family or kid who would appreciate the opportunity to go to the game.
