Is there still a waiting list? I get my tickets from a guy who moved out of town and can’t make the games, I’d love to get some in my name.

It could have been a word use error by the author of the article. He may have not meant to use "renewal". It could have been season ticket ssles are expected to increase.

I wouldn't base your conspiracy theory on the wording used in an article.

Well maybe the author got it all wrong and they were not happy at all. What good is the article if some wording is accidental?

CYA - Why would LSU lie? They stated 95% renewal. You and your pals are part of the 5%! So What? Their are still people waiting for tickets, or is that a lie, TOO. I know for a fact some upgrades have been filled and those seats renewed by new ticket holders. Why should I, or anyone, believe your comments over LSU. Let them go back, it will be your loss at some point and you aren't a true fan anyway. Fans stick by their team - win or lose - long term! There are MANY that hung on through latter Stovall through late Archer through Hallman and late DiNardo. Don't think you are any better than them!

I assure there have been numerous season ticket holders not renew their tickets. The fact is that TAF is using fuzzy math to try and act like they are not having an issue.

Maybe they aren’t counting people that directly told them they wouldn’t renew in and only counting people they sent renewals to.

It’s also not just about tickets. There were waitlists of people to get season tickets. Some so desperate that they’ll buy a shite product just to get in.

In the end, two things will determine the effects. Total donor money going in and long term effects. Next season is make or break for LSU and since this entire administration has done nothing proactive in its life, you’ll see those effects as soon as the 2019 season.

It's a lie if they are claiming people that have not purchased tickets yet will increase their "renewal" rate.

Wrong. Saban is not some X’s and O’s Football genius. If he was, he would have had a better career in the NFL.

Hugh Freeze made Saban his bitch with a fraction of the total talent. Saban is Urban Myers bitch.

Renewed my tickets. Love it this time of year. Maybe with all the negative Tigers I’ll have seats on the 50 next year. I’m on the bus always and never gonna give up my seat.

You’re right. They hired Ed Orgeron as head coach. They are settling for “bottom of the barrel”.

However it is highly unlikely that this "right 5%" are the baws that come in here to the Rant and post all day, every day.

Not making fun of mentally challenged people, just an offensively challenged coach. If I wanted to make fun of the mentally challenged I'd have photoshopped one with Orgeron on it. But I'd rather not waste my time since he'll inevitably be fired this year.

Given the number of terrible opinions you've been spewing all over this thread, it's clear that you have a much better understanding of the word "mediocrity," so I'll step out.

I agree. LSU settled for Orgeron, who was passed up by mediocre schools like Syracuse. LSU settled for the bottom of the barrel, not just mediocrity.
