If LSU starts winning consistently again I hope we can return to those days.

It saddens me to read this thread and especially this comment.

You are a fair weather fan.

Those blue haired fans sitting in the lower bowl are not fair weather fans. They attend even when the team is struggling and playing a subpar opponent. If not for them, there would be a lot of empty seats at many games. I've seen that at the when the women play on TV, and that is not good for recruiting or for LSU generally. The older fans are no excuse for keeping quiet at games or not attending at all.

I sat in the student section for the 1990 games against UNLV and Loyola Marymount, so I know that it can get loud and has gotten loud. The name "Deaf Dome" was invented for a reason.

One way to get it loud is to increase attendance. I don't know why the students don't fill the place. What else besides studying) could they possibly be doing on a Thursday night unless the screwdrivers at Fred's are still $1 until 9 p.m.? Seriously though, there will never be another time in your lives when it will be easier to go to LSU games. Get over there and support our team--loudly!
