re: Fans leaving were called out on Nat TV

WOW. Its sad. the seats that were empy were the lower bowl between the 35's. Thats the people that just want to be seen at an LSU football and could give two shits about the game. Shove your money up your arse

I left with five minutes left in regulation only because my son had enough with the cold air (he has bronchitis and wanted to go to game). But FWIW, at the Tulane game, I left the game in the third quarter with another sick child (bad tiger dog) and saw Billy Cannon getting into his vehicle.

I just watched the ESPN broadcast and they really overdid the people leaving early thing. They made it sound like 30,000 people left when it was actually a few pockets here and there on the sidelines. The announcer kept saying stuff like "those that remain...".

An Arkansas fan sitting in the east upper deck commented to us about the empty seats up there around him. I told him those seats are where the visiting fans sit - so those were a reflection of the Arky fan base not traveling well because Florida, bama, Auburn, Georgia, Ole Miss all fill up those seats when they come.

I didn't notice a whole lot of folks leaving.

For all you "Back in the great bygone days of old" folks, I can remember when Tiger Fans didn't depend on the validation of other fans or, heaven forbid, TV announcers, to define their experience of enjoying an LSU game.

I had a hell of a time Saturday night and really didn't bother to notice how many folks left.

When did so many people become such namby pamby busybodies?

my gf bartends at a nice restaurant. She thought she was going to get cut early, but got slammed by the "defecters". Makes no sense to leave a game that early and go watch the end at a restaurant bar. One girl (who was decked out in P&G) was staring at her wanting a drink right before the game winning kick. She hates waiting on those people.

baffles my mind.

we have some of the worse fans in football.


FWI - i stayed through the entire game.

Our fans are getting where they are making those Ole Miss "Hotty Toddy" fans look like the Marines storming Iwo Jima.

I was in the student section and was surprised by how many people were still around for the end. Crowd was loud and the student section was especially roudy. Didn't even notice a bunch of people had left. Why do we have to have a thread like this everytime we play a home game?

Why doesn't everyone in this thread do whatever the frick they want and leave other people alone?

sorry i left at halftime
i didnt feel well (non-alcohol related)
i fell asleep during the whole ride, and vomited right after tejada missed the FG in OT
for once, gastric juices in my nostrils tasted sweet

One more thing about Tiger Stadium crowds- why does it get pointed out by national tv announcers and opposing fans? People leave early everywhere. I've seen it at EVERY SEC stadium I've been to. It was amusing being criticized by Arky fans when a sellout in their stadium doesn't equal the number of people who were in their seats in TS during the 3rd qtr on Saturday night.

I think it gets noticed because of the reputation Tiger Stadium and LSU fans have. Non-LSU people come to Tiger Stadium expecting a big time game atmosphere for every game - and it just doesn't happen that way.

Personally I was very impressed with LSU fans on Saturday night considering everything that went on this season.

Also, empty seats on the sideline in TS really stand out (bright yellow backs).
