re: Someone call the Will Wade show and ask about putting the students behind the bench

I think you’re both technically correct. The students were behind where the bench currently is. But at the time, the beach was across the court from where they are.

Not correct at all. The benches weren't moved across the court. In the Trent Johnson era, the Tiger bench and the visitor bench switched places. I was at LSU during the Dale Brown years and the student section was across the court from the team benches. We didn't dog out the blue hairs. We never noticed it to be a problem. The place was plenty loud. I guess either we were loud enough for the whole fricking place. Or maybe our spirit helped to get the blue hairs going.

One other thing, we weren't stupid enough to allow the opposing players who fouled out to manipulate us into yelling "sit down" when a Tiger was shooting free throws.
