LSU fans are NOT GOING to this game. It was a huge mistake to not politic harder for another bowl, because this is not only going to embarrass LSU, it will embarrass the SEC. Sorry for being real.


Just wait. Joe Alleva will send out an email criticizing the fans for not buying tickets, and try to make us feel guilty for not going to the game. He'll tell us that a poor showing by the fans could lead to better bowls passing on us in the future, yada, yada, yada. If it's true that the LSU administration did little to nothing to try to get the Tigers into a better bowl game, then Alleva has only himself to blame for lost revenue on poor ticket sales.

What I don't get is why there are so many LSU fans that think this is a sub-par bowl? Is it the corporate brand name? Is it the fact that it's not a "New Years Day" bowl? Is it the match-up of Clemson? Is Atlanta that fricked up of a location?

The payout is big. It's Primetime and the only game on. It's 2 top 15 teams. I just don't get everyone getting their panties in a wad over this bowl? The CFA group was ecstatic over this. To me, it's the other Bowls who lost out on not selecting LSU. In addition, I don't want to be on New Years Day competing with a shiteload of other games for viewership.

I am excited about going to Atlanta for chicken bowl. The Georgia dome is a good venue, it's a cheap flight and a really cheap ticket (got tickets in lower corner end zone for $35 each). Not to mention Atlanta is a pretty fun town. I hope to see a few tiger faithful making the trip.

My main concern is that the players feel like a lot of the fans do about this game and they come out flat, play down to the level of the competition instead of what this team is capable playing like.
