Can you please send me a copy of your book on how to properly be a football fan?

It wouldn't be a long book because it's pretty simple. Try getting in the stadium early and not leaving till you've sung the alma mater, being loud the entire time LSU is on defense (not just on 3rd downs when the play clock is under 10), and not getting songs banned that get the crowd pumped up.

I'm so old that I was a student in 2008 when we went 8-5 and had rowdier (not more vulgar)crowds that affected the outcome of games. I remember Facebook groups starting that year to get loud while the offense was still in the huddle. People were pumped to be in the stadium even though we sucked that year.

And for people who say, "Who cares what other people do? Just enjoy the game," when the crowd is weak it takes away from the atmosphere of the game and makes it less enjoyable for everyone there. The crowd feeds off of the student section, but the student section hasn't been giving the crowd much to work with.
