Food was better, and more vendors than previous years, drink lines non-existent due to 25 to 35% dropoff from previous years. Plenty of room at tables, short restroom waits, etc..

Signing class long but signed already sans Ego and JC, 4 late bigtime decommitments, poor economy, lukewarm seasons of '08-'09, Saints SB days away, LSU Hoops suffering, bland weather, ever-increasing price, law of diminishing returns, whatever..

Also the back to back of 8-5 and 9-4 didn't help either.

Miles's salary is in the top-5. Coaching staff total was #4 in the nation. They didn't earn their money for last 2 years.

Really now, you don't go to the bash for the culinary quality do you? I used to drink so much beer that I never ate.

I'd like to say the Bash was much better!!! The lay out was better than last year. It was wide open, had enough large screens, front and back. It appeared to me, of those who attended, there were more of the true die hard LSU fans than "band wagon" fans. It was a mature crowd and not that many drunks. As a vendor, we did better this year by far than last year. I'll be back next year for sure. Great job!!!

I saw the guy who kept yelling for the first down song. He was a little drunk and a lot happy. You guys sounded great. You made my day.

You didn't see "bandwagon" fans there because all the "bandwagoners" are either in Miami right now or running around with Brees jerseys on repeating "WhoDat" everywhere they turn...
