Actually, many of the geriatric fans and fortysomethings that are PMAC regulars, and dare say the diehards that have been season tix holders over the last few decades, are from the DB era.

IMHO, it's the under age 35 Louisianians, and BR resident grads of same age, Tier-1 Univ Texans with no sense of ties/history/lore, and other students from afar, that grew up in the Ritalin/Playstation, flatscreen tv, tv network game proliferation(when once there were fewer games televised), stadium seating movie theatres with DLP, Dolby Surround, WiFi, etc..eras..

That LSU Hoops just hasn't exhibited a fun style previously, nor the consistent results, and let's face it, being a Football school foremost, seems to need either 1977-1981 era Macklin, Ethan, Swat, Hi C, & Co monster teams, or freakshow players such as Pistol, John Williams, CJ, Shaq, Stromile/Jabari, Baby/Tyrus, etc..to get the fans out en masse.

This is the truth. I'm 52 been a season ticket holder since the bldg opened. The 3500 regulars are all around my age or older. The youngsters who put so much time and energy into bitching and complaining on the internet have not taken the torch of supporting the program. If you can't see the new direction that JO JONES has us going and get on board,it will remain mediocre. Lets be honest Hoops has not been a part of these young republicans life since the big democrat blocked their set shot into their face in 8th grade gym class. This group has to make the commitment to come spend money and rectify the problem. I don't see it happening, if we can average 8-9K I will be happy.
