Looks like my bitching and complaining about why we can't be more like Kentucky may have worked.

The Alcorn State game was well-attended, the energy in the place was great, the fan section was super fun, and it created an ambiance I know LSU is capable of establishing.

Kudos to the loyal royal purple and gold fans and the LSU athletics staff for the accomplishment. The 2017-2018 season is starting off very promising!

You have to promote the program. You have to almost give away tickets... and then you have to win to sustain it. Brady and Trent didn't understand the need to promote the program.

Basketball is fun to watch. I have little doubt that place will be jammed for most games if Coach Wade starts turning the program around. The PMAC is a wild place when the team is run right.

Wade has forced excitement in to the basketball program. He’s going to do special things

Brian Lazare was extremely quick, almost in a scolding manner, to point out that that's paid attendance. Still better high paid attendance than low.

I wonder what the actual attendance was. I wish LSU still released that for basketball and baseball games.

Football has always been paid attendance only.

You realize they were selling a lot of those tickets for $1, right?
