re: Why LSU Basketball Fanbase can't be like UK?

LSU has had pathetic coaching and teams lately in basketball. You ever wonder why UK's football atmosphere is so boring? Because they usually suck and their fans aren't excited.
Btw, when LSU was good for a long stretch under Dale Brown, the Deaf Dome was better than any place out there. And LSU still has 3 of the top 5 largest attended regular season games of all time (and 3 of the biggest crowds ever) in the Dome. When they've been really good, the LSU fans showed big time.
By the way, it's football season and Bama's basketball atmosphere sucks too.
1) When LSU was #1 in the SEC in 2009, the team/coaches still had to beg fans to please "Pack the PMAC"
2) Bama basketball is full of energy and excitement now. They recently had a open practice that was almost full to capacity.
3) LSU fans only show up like they should for the major games and that's always been the case.
4) LSU open practices attendance is extremely low compared to our SEC peers

LSU finished inside the top 40 in attendance that year as an 8 seed in the tournament. And even in the Ben Simmons year, they finished inside the top 40 and had the 3rd biggest increase in attendance in the NCAA.

They had approximately 2000+ fans there. That's a good crowd, but Coleman Coliseum holds 15,000+. Maybe you don't know what "capacity" means. Bama did have pretty good crowds last year (though they won 5x more SEC wins compared to LSU), but they've always seemed to have boring crowds. I don't ever recall anyone talking about Bama's great home court advantage.

As Allen Iverson said, "It's practice, man." Who gives a crap about who shows up for practice? That's boring as hell. Practice is for the team to get better, not to see how many fans show up. Jones sucked out any excitement that there was in the program. Wade will raise the interest level and you will see more fans as they progress.
