re: To people complaining about the students: State of tiger fans

Not every person in the student section is drunk. Yes, there are drunk people in the student section but there are drunk people scattered all throughout the stadium

Absolutely true on both counts. My daughter is in Vet School at LSU and loves going to all the games. She doesn't drink and doesn't really like the extent of the "vulgarity" of a large segment of the student section. She worries that every good song the band comes up with gets ruined to the point that the band can't play it anymore. On the other hand, while I don't go to all the games, I have heard a lot of vulgarity from people of all ages in the various parts of Tiger Stadium I have been in over the years.

But as an 56 year old LSU alum who enjoyed every Tiger game for seven years while I was there from 1973-1979(undergrad & law school)from my "free" seat in the student section, I don't really like the fact that the student section has been made smaller over the years and that students have to pay for tickets now. LSU was my school (and still is in spirit)but it is their (current students)school now. Some people are just using the vulgarity issue as an excuse to take more seats from the students to have more available to sell to the public.

So the kids today just don't behave like we think they should. Now there's a surprise!
