It's called balls...I am not making the rules just telling them!!! You have the right to own a gun..doesn't mean I shouldn't use it!!!!

horrible analogy btw..

prolly so

this was a terrible showing by the fans

Well unless its related to his family, an excellent movie, or a business transaction - then yeah - he's a stand up guy. Did I mention that he cares about his family - oh yes - I see I did!

You have the right to leave early. I have the right to call you a fair-weather fan for it. If freedom of action is your argument, then you shouldn't care one bit that I think you're a crappy fan. But I do have the right to do it. I hate the argument of freedom of action also grants freedom from consequence.

My attitude towards fandom is shaped a lot by going to school during the early 1990s. LSU lost a lot. But it made me appreciate the climb. It is the process, not just the wins. It also taught me never to complain about a 5-2 team. I would have killed someone to be 5-2 15 years ago. If you want to leave early, fine. But why bother going to the game? Why not let someone else buy that ticket who will actually enjoy it?

And if this is just entertainment, why are you on an LSU message board talking about it? Stop watching. Start rooting for whoever is winning this week and leave us alone.

My wife and I went to the game. I don't have season tickets. I was a student at LSU from 79-82. My wife was not an LSU student but was born and raised in Louisiana and enjoys the games and is proud of the university. I'm not trying to tell anyone when they can leave it is a free country BUT... I do have an opinion. It is only my opinion and I am free to express it. If you disagree fine.

1) When I was a student we stuck. Winning or losing. We were losing a lot more often then they do now. I was disappointed the student section started emptying out as early as it did.

2) We don't have season tickets. I make at least 1 game a year. I was at the MSU game and the UGA game and will be at Ole Miss also. As a result we don't always sit in the same place. We were in the Tiger Terrace on the upper West deck. IT SUCKED. People around us basicly barely watching the game no cheering, no spirit. Pitiful. Wife said if they're going to wear the colors they ought to cheer.

3) I don't leave early - my choice - I don't get to spend enough time in Tiger Stadium as I can only make certain games. I can understand people jumping early to beat traffic but not when the game is undecided. After last year especially I don't understand people starting to leave as early as they were this weekend.

There said it - flame away.

Well said. Prolly said many pages ago, but still the message being sent when the cameras panned back. Was the upper deck even full to start the game? Looked like we started w/o capacity? Announced, what, second largest crowd?

I'm disappointed in the game atmosphere, but the game is made for TV, not the people in the stands.

A CBS game is tortuous. I sit three rows up in the East Upper and got more sun than a day at the beach.

I can tolerate most anything you throw at me to enjoy a Tiger football game, but I'm a die hard. I used crutches one week after ACL surgery to see a Spring Game.

I can't say I blame people much for leaving when we see the entire flow of the game dictated by TV. Can't keep chants going for 10 minutes.
