1. LSU: There's a reason LSU coach Les Miles is 57-7 inside Tiger Stadium. It's just tough to win in Death Valley when you have thousands of unruly purple-and-gold-clad students raining chants, profanities and boos down on you in a stadium that traps sound right over the top of teams. The roar from the students after those three most intimidating notes ("Hold That Tiger") in college sports play from the Golden Band from Tigerland will send shivers down your spine. LSU students, usually sporting those glorious purple-and-gold pom-poms, take up 25 sections inside Tiger Stadium and create the SEC's most electric environment when the lights come on and the sun goes down. Night games are a different animal in Baton Rouge. LSU's students have gotten so out of hand in the past that they've had chants taken away because of improvised, profane additions to songs (returned in 2013) and are no stranger to public reprimand.



ESPN approves of STTDB!

I'm not sure I even know the actual words to that part of Neck. There's not much like Death Valley at night. That's the truth.

I came here to post this, but my title was going to read: "ESPN ranks LSU as having the No. 1 student section in the SEC, Negatigers go Nuclear"

Where are all the student section bashers at who complain about lack of attendance?

The Student Section in Tiger Stadium is the biggest reason the atmosphere is so incredible.

People want the profanity from the student section, they just have to act like they dont.

I guess they need to fill up the section before they expand it.

Not a better feeling in the world than watching LSU pull out a last second victory under the lights.
