I'm afraid I have some bad news. I do not see LSU fans traveling in sufficient numbers to the Texas Bowl either.
We won't sell 25K tickets, but I could easily see 10-15K LSU fans making the trip, especially since it's an easy destination and would be less expensive to get to than some of the others. We also have a sizable alumni presence in Houston, which would help with ticket sales.

LSU's best crowd would be NRG due to the location. We didn't travel well at all for the Outback Bowl, so I'm not sure why people assume LSU would bring a better crowd to another Florida bowl named after a corporation. West Virginia sounds like an awful matchup, given LSU just finished a series with WVU. Hell, give me Minnesota in Florida over that.
Plus, it's the University of Texas. That alone would be a nice draw for LSU. It helps with recruiting athletes and out of state students. LSU owes UT payback from 2002, and it's just a big brand to kick the shite out of.
However, didn't the fact we already played in Dallas to start 2012 factor into LSU not getting the Cotton Bowl bid? Other than the Johnny Football craze, of course...
normally I agree with you, but honestly I don't see anyone elated at our options. It sucks, because a win over the flagship changes everything. Our options are dreadful, and they're even more dreadful given these companies have zero shame and the name the entire bowl after their company name.
