Its been a disappointing start. The injuries have piled up, the coaching has been underwhelming, and the Bama insecurity is rampant because it seems like they can do no wrong.

I urge all fans to put aside all the silly bitching, and get behind this team. We need 97 UF, 03 UGA, 07 UF, 08 BAMA, 11 Ark Tiger Stadium. Its a 7 pm kickoff. Its Saturday night in Death Valley. This game can make or break our season. A win here and we are right in the thick of a title hunt and where we all thought we belong. Fans can will a team to victory.

We've got young guys having to play where vets have been injured. This is where the home crowd can make a difference. They feed off of our energy. Give them the confidence they need to do battle (with a team that has the F***ing audacity to come into DEATH VALLEY wearing BATTLE FATIGUES!) As a fan that pisses me off more than anything.

F*** SCe for thinking that can bring that army shite in here. Lets show them a Baton Rouge War Zone.

Agree 100 percent. People need to get off their arse and support the Tigers Saturday night. Night time is the right time...We're LSU...They're South Carolina... nuff said.

And thats why Im asking for an insane crowd on saturday. SCe has not looked anywhere near as good as they did against UGa on the road this year. We have talent, with a fired up crowd the likelihood that the young talent produces increases by a lot.

Saturday is going to be my first "big game" night game in the student section. I truly believe that the place is going to be electric and I cannot wait to yell as loud as I can for 60 minutes

Carolina looked like world beaters against UGA... what's the chances they do that twice in a row and do it on the road...slim. Once our D gets some turnovers, the ball rolling down hill will be hard for the Cocks to stop. The crowd can play a big role,the Cocks haven't been on this stage before.

It's not gonna happen. The majority of the fans have written this team off. Did you see the atmosphere in Columbia for the USCe/UGA game? It was crazy. As much as we might want it to be like that on Saturday, it won't. Take a look at the ticket exchange. Fans are unloading tickets hand over fist, even thought the weather is supposed to be great and it's the first big home game of the year. Very sad.

The fair weather fans need to get out of the stadium anyway... maybe some of the old timers and true Tiger fans will snap them up.

I know what you're saying but I BELIEVE that these tickets will get sold to fans that WANT to be there.

Agree 81.

Or they'll end up in the hands of Carolina fans.

Thats the best thing that could happen. Id rather sit by young people and coonasses that love their tigers and relish the chance to be in TS. Real fans have been priced out of games recently. An infusion of the working class fans is just what the doctor ordered.

I am working out in West Texas this week and didn't plan on attending this game...and as silly as it sounds, I feel my team needs me. I will be driving the 10+ hours to Red Stick for the sole purpose of cheering my arse off and supporting my Tigers.

Congrats! And by halftime, when all of the "I am only here for the Facebook photo op" students clear out, you will have plenty of room to spread out and get comfortable!
