Win a few more Natty's and Spring interest will peak, but honestly the Spring game is a shite-fest on the field. Maybe its supposed to be that way to protect from injury, but its not entertaining in the least....

What needs to be done?


1) Black it out on TV in 100 Mile radius.
2) Have it at night - cooler weather (although this year was nice)
3) Give priority on student tickets to those students who attend the spring game.
4) Concert outside the stadium 3 hours before game.
5) No baseball game at the same time.
6) Have the band there playing NECK the entire time.

I see a downward trend.
But really, sell beer and organize it like a real game and people will show up. I realize the coaches made the current format but it's not entertaining. And I also realize LSU is on a mission to save our souls from alcohol, baptist style, so that won't change either.

It's a glorified practice... Who cares? I've got baseball to worry about until June. (Hopefully)

Kentucky packs Rupp arena for a practice at midnight to start the basketball season. Should we start caring about that too? Until the day that the spring game affects LSU's chances at the playoff I'm over it.

Spring games under Miles have been about as much fun as having a root canal.

I 100% agree with your response. Not only has miles reduce the spring game to his own personal half arse practice session. He continually lies like a snake about all the statistics and personnel all the while laughing his arse off right in the face of all the fans; which by the way he also despises. Get reed of that fark.

Change the head coach. It's stale. You know it. The sunshine pumpers know it. The negatigers howl it. The realists even know it.

It happens everywhere. It's happened here and it didn't just start.

Downvotes galore are headed my way. I get it and that's okay. But trust me...You want renewed fan interest, you change the head coach. Dude has zero fricks given towards longtime booster groups that were supporting the program when we weren't winning sh!t and could only dream of where we are now.

He may not have forgotten where he came from, but he's certainly forgotten where a lot of the fanbase and boosters that built this program into what it was before he got here came from.

Again, downvote away. Change the head coach. Interest will stop ebbing and begin to flow.

Win the West and the people will come. That's the bottom line.

Thank you for proving my point. Obvislouly winning the SEC and playing for a national championship increases attendance. People are tired of playing in mid tier bowls. It's time to show something meaningful for all these future NFL draft picks.
