slacker you say


i've camped out in front of the student gates all night long multiple of times, painted my chest to every home game, stood there cold and wet yelling my arse off to every home game and at the away games i've made it too. So you tell me who is the slacker what have you've done?

Relax, buddy. I'm joking. But I'm in the same rain as you, and I was wearing a rubber slicker suit in the ridiculous heat a couple of years ago.

I was embarrassed in the student section...at one point I just left my seat for 20 minutes and walked up and down the steps of each section looking for people i knew to ask them to pump up everyone around them. I've seen a serious decline in the student section over the past 5 years...

No, you in it? Am I in it?

ETA: Watched it...I didn't have tickets that year...I was actually working in a concession stand during that game. When they had the rain delay it was miserable. The Oregon State fans were pressed up against us, pretty much. Havoc.

yeah my friend and I are in it we were lucky and won the lottery and got tickets. We were the two fans sleeping out by the student section all night long, but it was just him and me no one else so they interviewed us.

PacLSU,

I agree whole-heartedly with your post. But don't you agree that your "instructions" happen more or less automatically in big night games in DV (and some day games) like:

Alabama '08, Georgia '08
Va Tech '07, Fla '07, Auburn '07, Arkansas '07
Alabama '06
Tenn.'05 (after Katrina) Florida '05, Auburn '05
Oregon St '04
Georgia '03, Auburn '03, Arkansas '03
Florida '01 (after 9/11), Ole Miss '01, Auburn '01, Arkansas '01
Tennessee '00, Alabama '00, MSU '00

??????????????????????????????????????????????

This should be printed out and distributed before all the games.

I think they did, a loooong time ago. But since then it has grown to apply to every team's home crowd. The Aggies are just the only ones who think it means they'll actually get into the game (which they just might).

what do you plan to accomplish by stomping your feet on concrete besides making yourself feel special?
Well, noise for one thing. Oh, and you could stomp on the resonating bleacher instead of the concrete, but that's up to you.

no, because you aren't going to get fans to stand on bleachers.
You stand on the concrete and stomp on the bleachers conveniently located right in front of your feet, where the people in front of you would be sitting if they weren't also standing and yelling and stomping on the bleachers in front of them. This is fairly rudimentary in the section where I sit, so you must be in the "slow" section.

Nice post.

Unfortunately, amongst certain LSU fans, being the twelfth man entails coming late, leaving early, and complaining that other fans have the gall to stand.
