I think you're having a problem with your premise. Most people are aware that the PMAC will fill up when the team, coach and admin give two shits. I don't see anyone ever saying that it will never fill up, but if you have its most likely young kids who haven't ever seen it full so no one pays them any mind anyways...

Yeah I can go with that. It's not a huge number of people who say it I suppose but they are definitely out there. Maybe it's just that it really pisses me off when they post it. LOL.

Kentucky is coming to play LSU in a couple of weeks. You don't think we are going to sell out that night?

No I don't but that's not what my OP was about. It was addressed to the know-it-alls who state that LSU basketball will never have good fan support even when the team is good. This team is not good.

so many arrogant morons who like to speak in absolutes and spout that LSU fans will never turn out for basketball make it a necessity.


LSU supports a winner...put a good product on the court & the fans will come.

Gymnastics proves this

The game is already sold out. How can you not believe it's going to happen, when it's already happened?

If the Kentucky game sells out, it will be UK fans. Sure if LSU was in the top 15 all year the crowds would be much better Duh. I've seen the dome rock before. If Victor hadn't been tossed, maybe.....maybe LSU could have reached the heights of a NIT bid. As it stands, they will be fortunate to win two more games and sadly the SEC is not close to being a good BB league. One good team and three/four others trying to be decent.

LSU consistently played high-level basketball and drew a lot of fans from the late 70s-early 90s. Several conference championships, 2 Final Fours, several Sweet 16s. NCAA tourney almost every year.

We were a legit program then, and can be again. All the people claiming that we can't be a basketball school are just dead wrong, and probably very young.

Dude FSU has 1, maybe 2 NBA lottery picks. Not to mention they are a Top 10 ranked school who will make some noise in March. Of course people will go watch this team

Jesus CHRIST it's not that hard to understand what I was saying. Of COURSE people are turning out. My post was aimed at the idiots who say LSU fans would never support hoops. I'm telling those idiots that yes, the PMAC would absolutely be rocking with a team like this.

Who the F is saying that LSU couldn't draw a huge crowd as a top 10 team playing a big name program on a Saturday afternoon in a nationally televised game?

Let me refresh your memory. LSU vs Oklahoma just last year. Sold out PMAC. Bandwagon fans come out in droves when teams are winning and have a chance to win.

I haven't kept a list of usernames or bookmarked any posts. But there have absolutely been posts stating that LSU fans will never support basketball. Idiots speaking in absolutes without having a clue what they're talking about.

Here's an idea. If you want to spend your time and money going to watch bad sports entertainment, be my guest. Meanwhile, quit acting like there's some sort of problem because others have better use for their time.

You spend your time and money your way and I'll spend my money and time my way.

Holy. fricking. shite!!!!

What the frick is WRONG with some of you fricking morons??? Where in my post am I calling out fans for not going to the games right now? Please point it out you blithering idiot. Let me help you out a little... I DIDN'T!!!

If you would bother to read through and comprehend you would see I'm talking to the people who say LSU fans will never support basketball. THOSE are the people I'm calling out.

Even just by reading my first post only though I can't see how you gathered out of it what you did.

I'll freely admit that the OP could possibly have been constructed a little better. But even with that said I feel like I'm surrounded by a bunch of idiots in this thread.

That doesn't go for everyone, but it certainly applies to a select few of you.

My idea about how I want to spend my time and about people not worrying about how other folks spend their time is stupid?

You're a special breed of stupid.

It's not so much stupid as it is out of place here. Nowhere in this thread have I even remotely complained about LSU fans not attending games. Where you might come off looking rather stupid is that your reading comprehension sucks gigantic balls.
