re: Why doesn't LSU have a hockey team?

But that being said, I'd personally watch DVR'd LSU football games from seasons past before spending a moment on hockey (or soccer). I just cant take watching guys skate around a rink all night and waiting for a 1-0 score or (if I'm lucky) a scorefest like 2-0 or even 2-1. The hits are the only thing keeping this from being like watching soccer on ice (soccer doesn't even have the hits).
You're an idiot. I watched three games so far this season and the scores were 5-2, 3-1, and 5-2.
I've always hated the "there's never any scoring" argument against hockey and soccer. It's simply not true and there are many factors that go into the art of the game besides scoring. Please take a minute to not be so god damned narrow minded.

Really, scoring is not the most exciting thing about hockey. It's the collisions and fights.

Absolutely right Harry!
Both hockey & soccer have so much more going on than the assist and goal. It's so different from American football that I think it's difficult for local fans to watch/comprehend.
These are reasons why:
1. You have to have an attention span. For soccer especially since it's played continuously for 45 minutes per half, there are no stoppages, coach called time-outs or TV time-outs.
2. You have to put up with the players themselves actually running their own offense/defense and the game evolves and unfolds. No off the field person is wired and telling a player on the field (or ice) what to do.
3. There is a LOT going on the field away from the ball in soccer, ALL the time. It's a big field.
4. Hockey is so fast and continual motion, it's hard to keep track of the puck and the plays if you're not used to it.
Football and baseball are leisurely sports by comparison, punctuated by big plays.
