I as many of you are Louisiana people and take offense to comments made about Coach O. He is the Head Coach at LSU and should have all our support! He is a Cajun like many of us and any offense to him is an offense to all of us!!!

This is bullshite. I'm a Cajun and I'm sick of this "one of us" shite.

I am now hoping for the best. I have no choice. But those rightly criticizing this hire and this incompetent AD are not offending me as a south Louisianian.

So STFU with this crap that you speak for all Cajuns and south Louisianians.

What was our alottment to begin with?

I fly in from Cali to attend home games and bowl games. Try to get to a few a year, maybe a road game (went to Lambeau), plus the bowl. I have fun going to LSU football games.

I remember being telling my travel buddies I'd never go back to that bowl after the 2010 Cap One Bowl. That surface was abysmal. I understand that there was some bad luck with weather that year, but that's Florida. 2 bowl games in 4 days will damage a field; throw in weather and it's not fixable. We still remember that and for some, it still factors in a decision to attend or not.

That being said, if I didn't have a newborn, I'd go. While I know some won't go because of 2010, resurfacing the field and then demolishing most of the stadium because of inadequacies is a good start in making things right (I know this was primarily done for for MLS, but it had to be done for the bowl(s) also). The start time isn't ideal, but I'd rather watch the Tigers in person at 11:00 AM than on TV at 8:00 AM (pacific time). Also, in years past,we couldn't get in this game with 9-10 wins. While we were the only real choice for the bowl this year, perhaps this makes up for some snubs in previous years.

I don't expect turnout to be good, and I totally understand why, but had it been feasible, I'd still go. I'm over 2010.

It will probably fill by game time. Too many big time players playing, including Heismann Trophy winner.
That will sell itself, no matter what time they kickoff.

Dammit...that's what I get for multitasking at work

Yep. Another thread with the same assholes making the same stupid arguements against O.
I wonder if this will ever get old by next August.

I cannot attend due to work obligation but dammit my teenage boys are going along with my brother. Dammit all you nega O haters frick off he is our coach now so let's get behind him and this new coaching staff.

Get over yourself Francis

I'm going because:

1 It's a good bowl versus a good opponent.
2. My home in BR did NOT flood as so many of my neighbors' homes did.
3. I really wanted LSU to hire Tom Herman and feel that we gave up too soon on him. BUT, I am an LSU fan and will support Coach O's admin since he is LSU's man now.
4. Unlike some, I think ending the season winning a bowl game is a very good thing for one's program.

Way too many bowl games to be honest.
