WTF? You are talking about bars putting on drink specials on one the busiest nights of the year? What are you laughing at you just proved why they don't need to do drink specials.
ETA I know Fred's does free drinks on every Friday.

You are way too emotionally invested in your theory. You sound like you need a drink. I can sneak one in for you.
ETA: I get what you're saying now, you just worded it terribly. You're asking which bars do free drinks after games. The answer is probably none, but that's not the only type of drink special, now is it?

Few years ago saban called out the fans and students ...
I'm know O doesn't have the same clout but calling them out would make an impact . Specifically the Greeks
At other schools I see frats boys w shirt and tie staying - no excuse for what is shown on tv

Ah.... conceding I see. Also, never open a business because you clearly don't understand how they work.

You keep thinking LSU students started drinking when you got there.

Students drinking was never a point I was trying to point out... you just assumed that. I was speaking more towards the ease of sneaking alcohol in. They have tightened their grip. Whether you want to admit it or not, way less students are sneaking in alcohol because of the searches and not wanting to have to wake up and clean the stadium the next day. But I'm the one out of touch!

ROight. which is why you've been all up in this thread chastising anyone that made it sound easy to get booze into the student section. quote:

Quantify it.

Games are getting progressively longer, with more and more dead time.
LINK
And that only goes back to 2008. Go back another decade or two, and I have to think the average game length was well below three hours. Yet, every time the issue of game length comes up, commercial filled stoppages are considered off limits, and the only suggestions are to reduce the amount of actual play (resetting the clock after the markers are set when the play goes out of bounds, not stopping the clock after first down, etc, etc, etc).
Hell, college football has doggedly defended the absurd twenty minute halftime.
When I was at LSU, I stayed for the entirety of almost every game, but I have a hard time bitching about students who have been standing the entire game leaving at halftime to go finish in front of a 60" TV. The fact of the matter is that everything about the college game in 2018 is built towards catering to TV watchers and TV dollars. Anyone who thinks in-stadium experience isn't going to take a hit is deluding themselves.

I’ll say this. I have cleaned tiger stadium on a Sunday morning before (circa 2011ish). Cleaned whole north endzone and upper south. The student section had ZERO signs of alcohol. As soon as we got behind the goalposts, liquor bottles galore. Even found some unopened ones I took home (score for a 19 year old). I found six packs of beer in the south upper. How that happened, no idea. Point is, students are not drinking because they can’t. Almost everyone else can if they want.

I'm not chastising anyone... I was just giving my opinion. I don't need to quantify anything because I saw the progression of it while I was a student. But yea, keep blaming it on those nonexistent drink specials

Yep... if you have a regular ticket you can walk in with a damn fifth in your hand. Some games I would scan my student ticket to get priority points and then go in with my family season tickets so I could bring in alcohol without having to worry about it. I was a student '06-'12 fwiw.

These people know everything already
another person that has never been in the student section......... bruh
But all you internet folks just don't understand the level of drinking these people are doing.

Well then your mind will never be changed. You know it all.
Too bad for you I was there around when you were and completely disagree, so we're right back to you needing to prove yourself somehow.

This thread has been very informative for me.
I still don't have one good reason for why the students leave games at halftime, and judging by the responses neither does anyone else.
To have any kind of home field or home court advantage in college sports you need the students...it is plain and simple. If the students don't care enough to stay, or even go to the games...you are going to have a lethargic crowd.
The real question is how can we change the culture?

Students leave at halftime because they do not care. They've got a lot of other things they are more interested in as 18-22 year olds.
When you're as old as the majority of the posters on here, your life has become mundane (as mine has obviously) and you look forward to do anything else that is not working/paying bills/obligations. When I find something that I enjoy outside of these things previously mentioned you're damn sure I'm going to enjoy every moment I can because I spent my money on it and I enjoy it.
TLDR; students don't give a shite about midseason games that don't amount to much in their lives. Pussy, drinking, school etc. is what they care about.

For me, it’s a migraine.
Now I don’t drink on game day unless I’m sitting in my recliner. And I wear ear plugs in the stadium. I’m getting old.
