Should the wave be "killed" at Tiger Stadium?

Kill it. It’s the worst thing in sports. Sit down and watch the game….The thing about it is, you should be into what’s going on on the field, not what’s going on in the stands. It takes away from the game. I definitely understand why people hate it….I definitely vote kill the wave.

Does the wave bother you in Death Valley? It always seems to start in the student section when the game lulls in the 3rd quarter. What are your thoughts?

I used to love the wave.
When I was six.

it's interesting to watch the mindlessness of it. It comes around and people just stand up unconsciously.

If you don't have the mental capacity to do the wave for 1/2 a second and still pay attention to a football game, for the safety of us all, please do not attempt to drive home. You are clearly either too stupid or too drunk to operate a motor vehicle.

Yes

I usually see that wave happen during down times in Tiger Stadium. No big deal.

It should have never made it out of the 80's.

Why would anyone wanna stop that ? Just look around when it happens and notice how the kids enjoy it, my kids sure do so leave it be.

The worst was the a-hole in the student section who wanted to start the wave during the Alabama game this year. He was typical look at me I'm so cool bullshite, and it was the fourth quarter during the best game all season.

I'm all for ending it. Alabama and Mississippi State were driving at the end of the game and I remember at least 3 or 4 groups (10+ people) in the student section trying to start the wave.
It's for kids, people who don't care about the game and drunk students who are there to socialize.

The wave is bad karma for LSU. Usually something bad happens either during or after the wave is over. Most recent one was on 11/3/12 right before Alleman attempted that field goal late in the game. He goes on to miss the FG and Bama drives down and beats us

I personally intensely dislike the wave in Tiger Stadium. It obviously distracts the participants from watching the game.
It always seems like the Tigers start to play poorly once the wave is started in Tiger Stadium. I've witnessed this over and over.
How would you feel, as a player, when the fans ditract themselves from cheering for the team?
That being said, there's no way, that I can see, to stop it. The student section must lead by refusing to participate. It would take quite a campaign against the wave to get the students to refuse to participate in it.

FWIW the wave never happens in close SEC highly ranked games bc people are too into the game

sorry for partying? 
this just in: a lot of people in the stands are there for the social aspect of going to a football game and don't really give a shite about football. get over it.

The wave is my least favorite thing in sports stadiums. To me it means the crowd doesn't care whats going on.

If they first kill the embarrassing juvenile pointless and unfunny cursing with our songs, then yes. Yes, kill the wave.
