Packed. All lines were cut off, Miles arrived @ around 4:30. Long lines for Miles, Chavis and Mett as would be expected.

So miles was only there for 90 minutes I guess? It was supposed to run from 4-6.

Packed! Had a good time though. Had enough time to get RB's and WR's and let the kiddo jump in the spacewalk.

He arrived at 4:30 and his line was stopped at 5:30. Interested in hearing if anyone made more then 2 positions locations. We stood 1 hr for DB, went to offensive location and at 5:15 the line was stopped after us for TE

only made it to the WR's and LB's. In the LB line the guy monitoring the line flow pissed me off.

He allowed a guy before me to get 10 autograghs signed with some players signing 3 a piece. But he stopped me for having 3 items. What a prick.

I was maybe 10th in line at the O-line table finished there once they arrived 10 minutes late and went to the Receiver's table. Seemed like everyone wanted pictures of their kids with the players people were getting each receiver to sign individual mini helmets and taking photos for authenticity, one woman even took videos talking to each player. Only made two tables as all lines closed at 5:30. My 2012 team football consist of the O-line and Receivers. Didn't even get most of offense much less whole team.

So when you say lines cut off at 530 you mean whoever was in line is good, whoever isn't is sol? Just curious - haven't attended before.

I got in line for Les at 3:15 and walked out with my autograph at 5:50. They cut off the line about 30-45 minutes after I got in line. I might have been able to get in another line if he had showed up on time...

It could be worse, the QB line was bad and at 6:00 they just sent everyone away, even if they were already in line. At least they kept letting Les sign autographs.

Got to the special teams, and the WRs

OBJ signed my poster on the Alabama score line.

He signed it W 61-0

I was disappointed. Got into the RB's line at 3:40, it was long as hell.

After getting throu them, went to the WR line at around 5:15, and they cut it off. Meaning they weren't allowing anyone else to get in line. So then we walked around to see if there were any short lines, and they had all been cutoff.

It was weak, considering last year we got DB's, DL, and half the LB's

Did you take into consideration that there were twice as many people this year than last?

Not really

But I'm not blaming lsu. There's nothing they can do if that many people show up. They said there was twice as many people as last year? There was a ton of people there last year too

The key is getting there early! You and I followed similar paths the last two years and I accomplished what you were trying to do.

Last year I was in line 3 hours before the doors open and went DB, DL, LB, D COACH.

This year I was in line at 11:30am. That put me about 10 people back in the RB's when the doors opened. I was done with RB's within 5 minutes of them sitting down and went over to the WR's. Finally finished the WR's at 5:20.

Yes, ton of people, more than last year.

I didn't wait in line with any of the players because I was with wife and young kids. The Defensive coaches line took maybe 5 minutes and I have no idea why.

My 3 y/o had a great time:

-High fived Mett and Shep
-Got a pic with Chief
-Told Mike to put some pants on with great reaction
-Slapped a cheerleader on the arse (though he didn't intend it that way exactly)and got a pic

I was very proud

Took my son, it's a shame kids only get a few autographs because grown-arse men are clogging the lines...

I will never understand why an adult would do this without children with them.
