I wish we played only neutral site games


If the choice is TCU/Oregon/Wisconsin at a neutral site OR KentSt/Furman/Towson at Tiger Stadium, give me the neutral site everyday.

Neutral sites aside, I personally want one great/good BCS opponent every year (think TCU/Oregon/Wisconsin/Nebraska/FSU), two Mid/lower BCS opponents every year (think Minnesota, Wazzu, Wake, Indiana, IowaSt, Uconn, Arizona), and one creampuff every year...I think that's a perfect schedule:

-1 good matchup against a name program that we could potentially lose
-2 decent matchups that we should definitely win, but at least they have some name recognition
-1 creampuff carefully placed
-8 SEC games

Agreed. I obviously was trying to draw ire from people. I agree with you though.

Man!!!!!!!!!!!! And here I thought he was going to Apologize to me for the Curley Hollman and Dinardo Days and those Gator and Noles Beatdowns! When I was one out of maybe 500 students that would go to the games!

These kids at least get to go to a football program that Matters and games that always mean something!

I have to remember that I was at the Auburn game when the earth moved!

Where's my apology Joe????

Plenty of college teams are still doing this


Sure, but not at the same rate they are doing neutral field kick off games.

Why don't they just put a big screen outside the entrance, problem solved, no rush to enter, experience more enjoyable

It's not just the students he should be apologizing to! Same thing happened at the SEZ. My gates were closed so they crammed all SEZ people into 3 gates along with the people who usually go through those gates. Took me 45 minutes to get in If there had not been a rain delay, I would have missed kickoff!

Well there isn't much they can do about the sez entrance right now. You knew beforehand your gate was closed.

what was the issue?


basically a single line entry for 20,000 people.

Then they decided to reorganize the barricades after we waited in line for over an hour. Everyone on the right were physically forced by cops to move to the back of the line

it was a completely miserable experience. They wouldn't let people leave the lines either. Basically 2 hours of being sandwiched against other people in 90 degree weather

IF, Aleva does the YEARLY neutral site money grab game.....then the season ticket holders should be protected from any ticket price increases...that sounds almost fair !

Yes, everybody knew the gates were closed. They should have made adjustments to allow for that. We left earlier than usual but it was still ridiculous!!

Let me apologize for your experience entering Tiger Stadium this past weekend. This year, we tried to make entering the student gates easier and more efficient for you – the student body – but unfortunately the plan did not work as expected....it was a mistake.
The plan did not work because it was conceived by individuals that are negligent and incompetent. The LSUAD is chock full of employees that were hired because of WHO they know, not on WHAT they know or their qualifications.

This latest incident is yet further proof of this. How hard is it to formulate an efficent plan to get students into the fricking stadium? Doesn't seem like that would be too difficult.

Hey Joe, how about hiring some people based on their qualifications, not because they're an ex-LSU athlete or friends/relatives of current/past LSU athletes/administrators.

Were any of you the bro that couldn't get into the game because, I presume, he didn't have his ID, then shoved his girlfriend and stormed off? That guy was a tool.

like what? a temporary escalator that takes you to the top of the SEZ bowl? what magical adjustment are they suppose to make for the entire sez being closed?
