I just want to chime in and bitch about people showing up late. I'm on a walkway level and there were people showing up to the game at the end of the 1st quarter looking for seats. I'm sure some of these same people were leaving early too. It's comedy to me.

This is what happens when the game in and of itself becomes the social event rather than tailgating. The social event at LSU is usually the tailgating and pre-game (as you could call it) and the game was an actual game for the fans too, not just the player. Now fans all over the stadium just feel obligation to show up.

It's like going to a party that you don't really care about just to be "seen" and keep up appearances. The Frat stars and a lot of the student section are like this as are many of the other sections through out.

For God's sake, the student section decided it was more appropriate to play with balloons in the student section instead of cheering while UF was on offense on an important drive. That alone told me why the kids were there.
