Dude, fukc you.

Carry your sorry Longhorn arse back to Austin. You have gambled your future on a head coach who has managed to lose to Navy, Memphis, and got blown out by SMU. He also damn near lost to Tulsa and UCF. Many of us are damn glad the "Kissing Coach" is in Austin. Kiss off Dude.

Well I'm going and probably wouldnt have if O weren't the coach. You see how that kind of logic works. Who knows if I'm lying or not. I guess that's the point. I would call bullshite but can't because I can't prove you wouldn't have gone. To me is just goes to show how far you will go to push your agenda (by either lying or bailing on LSU). Stay home and sleep in if you like. Me, I'll be supporting the Tigers.

The last update LSU sent out said that only about 4,500 tickets had been sold.


Wow, that is low! I don't think we've ever sold so few tickets to a bowl game, at least not in the modern era.

I sure hope there will be more than that at the game. If we can only get 5k in the stadium we will live up to the notion that our fans generally suck. It will become more than a notion, it may just become fact.

Regarding the poster saying Louisville fans don't travel in large numbers, this is actually a false statement. Louisville usually takes 25 to 30,000 fans to bowl games. Ask Florida fans about our numbers in New Orleans at the Sugar Bowl.
That being said, there won't be our typical bowl crowd tomorrow. Louisville plays IU in Indianapolis tomorrow in basketball and the Canseco Fieldhouse is split 50/50 between the two fan bases. The 10,000 or so Louisville fans travelling to Indy bought their tickets months ago for this regional interest game (1 hr drive seperation between the two campuses.)

Well I certainly hope none of us ever have to settle for the Citrus Bowl again. Orlando still has no soul BTW.

Read the post again. I didn't say that LSU would only have 4,500 fans at the game. I said that the last update sent out by LSU said that 4,500 tickets of the 9,000 allotment had been sold. I'm sure plenty of fans bought tickets from other vendors. That said, I seriously doubt that we will have 20,000 fans in the stadium tomorrow.

No idea if it will be well attended or not, but we are in Orlando and all we have seen are Tiger fans. Zero Louisville fans. Staying downtown.

A lot of us are making the best of two worlds, hanging on the beaches in Daytona or Tampa-St Pete-Clearwater and taking the short drive into Orlando in the morning. We are in St Pete Beach.

Lots of Tiger fans here this week and I'm have been happily surprised by our visit here. Everyone has been very friendly and we have had a pretty good time. We have enjoyed Universal even with the crowds and have found some pretty good laces to eat.

The traffic really sucks though. Baton Rouge traffic will seem like a breeze from now on

We ended up with a pretty decent showing,all things considered. The announced attendance was around 46k, and probably just under half were LSU fans. I'd say we had between 15 and 20 k there. Less than the last two Citrus bowls and maybe even slightly outnumbered but better than what I thought it was going to be considering the low ticket sales.

That stadium is in the middle of the ghetto. I'm never going back.

You guys missed a great time. I remember years ago when LSU fans would dream of playing a bowl game in Florida. So much to do in Orlando. The weather was great, and the stadium was renovated since LSU's last visit against Penn St. Seems like some of you are good for only the Sugar, Independence, Texas, or Cotton.
