I've had some time to digest last night...

As a 16 year season ticket holder, I think I'm finally done with supporting an administration that embraces mediocrity. This is going one of two ways.... Miles gets his No. 1 recruiting class but won't fix the offense and we have a another 8-5 to 9-4 season and again get drilled by Bama. Or. Miles will make a few changes and make it to 11-2 by the skin of his teeth and the administration will reward him with turning the downward trend around and a new 5 year contract with a raise... Either way, the future is not what I expected of our once elite program.
I'm tired of the position recruiting problems, the lack of player development, the nauseating play calling and the lack of intelligence and order during games.
I want a coach who is smart enough to see that the road to any championship is through Bama, and to recruit, train and game plan to beat them every year. That's what they are doing and are years ahead of us.
With that said, I will be watching on tv and yelling but will NOT be spending my money on LSU football anymore. My Tix are East Upper on the 20 yard line if anyone wants them...

It's hard to make it to games when you're literally menstruating all the time.

Prepare to get absolutely SLAMMED.
But it's LSU Groundhog Day for many and people will vote by being less enthusiastic about the team.
Every game I go to is a $400 dollar investment and eleven hours of my time.
So it's logical that some people will decide to bail.

I agree. The seats will turnover to someone who is happy with the expenses of an LSU Gameday and the mediocre performances. Year in and year out. No worries... May go buy a boat and fish on Saturdays from now on...

What's the problem? Op giving up his tickets. Other fans will buy them.
I thanked him for being a fan...what's wrong? Why are you so upset?

Don't leave, dog.

OP:
Just give it up. All of your observations are completely justified and valid. However, your entire perspective is quite wrong. Let me tell you why.
Your observations and comments would be completely on point if LSU were a pro football team. LSU is NOT a pro football organization. It's not run like an NFL franchise. The expectations are not the same as one would see for an NFL team.
LSU football is an amateur football program where college kids play football in exchange for a free education and enough national exposure to give them a good shot at playing for the NFL one day.
Stop thinking of LSU football as some kind of pro football endeavor, because in the NFL, each team has one and only one goal -- to win the Superbowl. When an owner loses confidence in his Head Coach's ability to win the SB, the HC is fired.
The LSU football program does not exist solely to win National Championships. There are many other competing reasons and purposes for its existence, such as, mentoring young athletes, providing a football team that brings students and alumni together during the fall, representing LSU well and making money. Those are the main purposes of the LSU football program.
Any championships or awards are nice to have and very welcome, but, these accolades are ancillary indicia of success in football competition, but they are not indicators of how well LSU football does in those other, JUST AS IMPORTANT areas. Those other main areas that I mention are just as important, but, there are no trophies for mentoring a student, visiting a sick kid, being a respected and beloved part of the LSU community, and so forth.
So, stop expecting LSU football to be something it is not. It's an amateur sporting endeavor that represents a State University, not a pro football franchise.
There are a few college football programs that have the same demands that are placed on an NFL team, but, LSU is not one of those programs.

Cool story, bro.
You're probably one of those guys who leaves at halftime anyway. Maybe the one who buys your ticket will be a better fan.

I get what you are saying but I think using the word mediocrity and mediocre is wrong
BTW transfer your tickets to me, I will take them

yeah, those were two of the reasons i gave it up too... the time was the biggest factor.... having only two tickets, left us having to leave our 3 year old on a day both of us were off (very rare)... got harder and harder to justify doing that, as we only have a few days off together a month....
the money, i could call that... that wasn't a problem... but paying the money for a shitty product, that just didn't make sense to me anymore...
i NEVER thought i'd give them up, and was a little sad after the fact, but this season only reaffirms my decision....
