Another butt hurt Pump Lump MAMM.

PIM and BIFLA did me in.

We (GBFTL) played the entire game and had the drums going the entire game as well when the Tigers were on Offense.

Frick ALL this PI BS.


I don't know what any of this means except GBFTL.

We've had season tickets in 414 since 2011 and aren't going anywhere. We love the Mighty Fighting Bengal Tigers of LSU and will be at every home game for the next couple of decades.

Gave my 4 up in 2015. It’s been liberating.

It's kinda hard to feel loyal to the team when you cannot even be sure that the players on the roster will actually play.

Last years cancellations and "no fans allowed" policy resulted in a lot of people realizing that they could live without it.

Many people attended games out of habit, just something they did.
After being banned from attending they realized how much hassle it was to attend, and that watching at home on HD in controlled environment was kind of nice.

The worst thing that can happen to a business is for their customers to find out they can live without them.

You have seen a lot of good years. And some others. Going to the game shouldn’t be a chore, it should be fun. Enjoy the comfort. And A/C.

I have slugs, snails, and gastropods out in the backyard that would comprise a more competent coaching staff.

Looking for brighter days ahead...

I've been going to LSU games since 1982.

1996 Vanderbilt. It took us 2 hours to get off campus from the TD Village lot.

2003 Georgia. Took us 3 hours to get off campus from Tower Drive.

2007 Florida. Took us 3 hours to get off campus from Tower Driver.

2014 Bama. It took us 2 hours to get off campus from Law School Lot.

2016 Florida. Took us 2 hours to get off campus from the Dorm Lot by Miller.

2021 Auburn. Took us 2 hours to get off campus from the Ag Center Lot.


Traffic and parking has always sucked.
Being in Tiger Stadium for the big wins makes it all worth it.

As long as you still have fun. I’m not a season ticket holder. But if I were, it would still be worth my time. But when it becomes a burden, it’s time to give them up

The current model's addiction to having these rent a wins has to change. Charge me more for less games. I don't care. I'd rather see one great non conference matchup than 3 G5 or FCS schools.


Yeah you should get one tune up game then all other games should be power 5. Playing ULM in late November is crap. McNeese and Southern should never appear on our schedule.

One neutral site game every 5 years only

Our situations are almost exact including my senior son. I've had season tickets for 40 years. I'll always be a Tiger but it's time for younger folks to take over. Problem is they wont.

31 years…you’ve seen the highs and lows of the program. Shame your kids don’t want them. But I hear you…only had mine16 years. The late night drives back to Metairie, often alone, get tough. But don’t make any rash decision…wait till the new coach is announced, see what things look like. Maybe in the Spring you’ll feel different.

I was talking to my dad about this the other day. My family had season tickets since the 90s. We have them up after 2014. My dad and I were saying we’ve experience the best years of college football. The atmospheres all around aren’t the same

Many many years here as well. Live in Michigan now (25yrs) and we fly down for most games. That said, The last 2 years have been an anomaly but more due to grand son now playing tackle football on Saturdays. 2 more years and we’ll be back to the routine fun.

Same here Slippy—gave mine up two years ago. Love the Tigers, but after three decades and kids who graduated from A&M and (gulp!) Bama (like someone else we know) I watch from home more now. Still try to make a couple games a year though.
