This slate of home games has been just awful this season, in part due to Alleva fricking up the UF situation last year, the greed of playing the neutral site games, and an overall bad SEC. There really hasn’t been one high stakes home game this year....and while the offense is improved, it’s Hardy appointment viewing to want to go watch Etling and co. outlast some shite team.

Blame spoiled fans all you want, but the AD has had a hand in watering down the product


You're reaching here. Just trying to shoehorn your feelings about Alleva into any thread, huh?

Thomas was at the Auburn game. He saw fans leaving in the second quarter. You can't blame that on Alleva.

It's not Alleva's fault that fans don't show up for games at 11 AM.

And I don't see how Alleva "fricked up" the UF situation last year. Florida made that mess. Alleva just tried to salvage our home game. In hindsight, we probably should have just traveled to Florida. I'm not sure how much revenue was generated by that home game, and we lost anyway. But at the time, Alleva would have been absolutely skewered for losing a home game.

Also, if we had played Florida at home this year, it would have been a totally shitty gameday atmosphere. A 2:30 kickoff fresh off of a loss to Troy? The UTC game probably had a better atmosphere than that game would have.

We played Kentucky at 11 in 2011 and the stadium was 95% full

there are several key differences between then an now, both on the field and off, which has impacted the LSU fan experience and attendance has declined as a result. Joe Alleva through his hiring and gameday policy decisions absolutely is at the heart of many of those factors. Not all mind you, but it's ignorant to claim he's blameless.
