3. The stadium was filled to a capacity of roughly 80,000 that game. Today for the big games we are putting in roughly 102,000 people in the stadium. How come we have not been able to produce the same result?
I ask myself this same question. If the seismic activity actually was caused by Tiger Stadium, I'm sure we (or some other school/team) would have at least matched it.
I think it was one of three things:
A. Actual plates or earth movement and it was a coincidence it happened during the game.
B. A faulty reading.
C. The LSU media/advertising department being very creative and decided to come up with a little folklore to make LSU sound cool.

After looking at the photo, I think it was actually one of four things.
D. Someone spilled coffee on a very crucial spot on the seismograph printout.

Thank you, honest Tiger fan.
If there is indeed the possibility that Tiger Stadium could cause an earthquake ( and I think it is plausible, but unlikely), there is NO WAY it has only happened once in 90 years. I think of the 2003 Georgia game, the '00 Tennessee game, and the '72 Ole Miss games right off the top of my head.

Nothing like taking a big ole shite on tradition and lore.
