if you buy season tickets, it's your right to do what you want with them. i get that.

but it blows my mind that i sit in a TAF section (the bottom rows of the east upper) and so many of the TAF chairback seats have opposing fans in them. for most teams, i don't mind much -the ole miss fans from two weeks ago that were in a row behind me and to my left kept to themselves, so they were cool. but bama fans are a different breed of obnoxious shite-bag. probably my worst experience in death valley was the year that yeldon caught that pass in the flat to score the game winning touchdown. the bama fan behind us kept yelling, "that's al-uh-bamuh football, that's how bama plays." the only reason no one jumped on him was because he was sharing his shitty sportsmanship with his 8-10 year old son.

no matter what the outcome of the game, i cannot wait till it's over so the bama sidewalkers get the F out of baton rouge.

bama is a good team, but they aren't great. this isn't our greatest team, either, but i believe that we are better than bama. i hope we expose them on saturday night.

Can't believe they got fired up for a last minute touchdown drive to all but secure the SEC West.

You should probably take your name to heart, worry about yourself, and enjoy the game.

Agreed

I completely agree that it is someone's right, but people doing it so easily without having any pride is ridiculous and I think there is too much of this nowadays (goes with the leaving early crowd).

some of these complaints about bama fans are pretty petty. I mean if he directly accosted you then yeah he deserves some discourse.

But if he is celebrating a big win with his 8 year old son, i think he deserves a pass.

So what I gather here is that fans of the opposing team are ok to sit in the TAF section so long as they don't cheer for their team?

he wasn't. he was taunting the people in front, to the side, and behind him.

and i can't "let it go," when my dad and i went to the first of the series between miles and saban, a guy behind us hit us in the back of the head with his girly pom-pom the whole game and spit on my dad before it even started.

Guys in front of us in 12 left early. Most of these guys give some tickets to Bama fans in exchange for tickets to BDS when we play over there. Not totally against it as long as they are vastly outnumbered. Still think the section in the South Endzone for opposing fans is too large. Put those frickers in the nosebleeds or at least somewhere they can't be disruptive to our O when we are driving into the SE.

that's not what i'm saying at all. like i said in the OP, the ole miss fans were cool, the moo state fans were cool -it's mostly just bama fans that are the scourge of the earth.

Well, sometimes you have to be the better person regardless of the aggravation.

You don't seem to understand how it works, I'll explain.

People spend $2500 on tickets and try to get some of their money back by selling. They list on stubhub and say "if they go for $____ I'll sell them, if not, I'll go".

Now opposing fan says "I may want to go to game, let me see if I can find a good seat for a good price". The better seats are 100% more likely to sell.

Seller has no control over who buys. The rows behind you are much harder to sell, but good seats are more likely.

Don't appeal to fans at TD.com. Talk to TAF, or let it go.

sounds like you should have beat him down in front of his son. It might have saved the poor inbred kid from becoming the next jihadist bama fan.

That's what our group does. I sat in the first row of the upper deck in 2012. Great view and I could prop my feet up on the rail.

No the point is that TAF shouldn't be selling or giving their seats to Bama fans or any other fans of another team. If you can't go give them up to a Tiger fan. And don't say you don't know any who would buy the tickets. Not even a statement that could be remotely true. Tiger fans are always looking for tickets.

So even if these TAF members trade for seats in BDS that makes them a bad fan? Do you travel to BDS every other year to support lsu?

If it makes you feel any better I was given 4 tickets to this game and I'll be giving two of them to LSU fans.

This I don't understand.....you pay for all those tickets, but don't go to the BEST game of the year?

Why buy tickets then? Go to all the games vs bad teams for 10-30 dollars a ticket instead.
