according to the news there are some economic problems some folks are dealing with. evidently quite a few people have lost their jobs over the past year.

or it could be that these fans are recognizing the Les Miles is a buffoon and don't want to fly to Seattle to see the team lose another game because of his goofy playcalling, playing non-talented seniors and poor preparation by his assistants because they're too busy trying to invent a new BBQ sauce...(or maybe that's just why Maximus isn't going)

I thought it was because LSU fans aren't going to spend their hard-earned money to go to Seattle if a black quarterback is going to play...

I'm not claiming to be an expert,, but it seems to be that Louisiana hasn't been hit as hard as other areas of the country until more recently.

i think you just had a bunch of people biting off waaaaaaay more than they could chew ... bought the tickets, then tried to make airline and hotel reservations and realized they were staring down the barrel of a $2,000 trip .. shite, you could go to the ole miss AND alabama games for what you will pay for this trip ..

Because 99% of the people in this world talk shite and when it comes to nut-cutting time, they slowly slink away into the corner.
