There was a huge sea of red on TV.

I was kind of shocked when I saw that on tv. Plus, it didn’t seem loud on tv.

You should have just turned up the volume.

Were the OU fans acting like dipshits this time when they knew they would lose? What were your impressions of them?

Was watching the LSU fantasy and it sounded loud (pro LSU) on the radio broadcast

It was 70 percent LSU. Probably had 50k fans there.

Hopefully we get to hear some of their made up horror stories. I'm always up for a good laugh.

70/30 LSU to OU fans. Tigers completely took over the city. All the OU fans were very nice (unlike 2007) and seemed to know they had to play a perfect game to beat us.

The Mercedes Benz Dome has red seats for the most part so it made it look like more OU fans were there than actually were. But it was probably 70/30 LSU and our fans did a great job at making it loud. I cant wait for it to be louder in New Orleans.

70/30 to 80/20 LSU seems about right (for the first half). It looked like more because the seats are red. The more surprising thing I noticed was at the end of halftime when OU came out of the tunnel, you could hear a pin drop. The band wasn't back in the stands yet, and there was absolutely nothing from the fans or students. It was obvious the game was over in the first half, but I was still surprised to see just how little support they had going into the second half.

I was at the game and my estimate was 65-70-35-30 pro LSU at the start of the game. It got a lot more pro LSU midway thru the 2nd Quarter.

OU/LSU broke the attendance record for the Peach Bowl.

Easily 70/30 in favor of LSU fans

The loudest OU got was when their horse wagon ran on the field.

The city was dominated in purple and gold. Our fans had a huge showing.
I expect New Orleans to be the same.

Yeah. It seemed like about 70% LSU, at least.

Also, it was pretty loud, especially in the first half. After that, not as much.

Let’s hope. Alabama had fans everywhere for 1/9/12. Didn’t see that coming at all since BR is only an hour from NO.

I was shocked that people were texting me to ask what the ratio was because it looked like all OU fans. It couldn't have been more opposite. I thought it was amazing that the OU fans totally abandoned the team at halftime. Most of the center bottom of their side was red seats. Meanwhile, my ears were ringing we were so loud.

Honestly, not sure how many fan bases would have stuck around after what they witnessed.

I was sitting in the LSU end zone and was able to get a great view of the stands. The majority of the LSU sections on the sideline (All 3 levels), corner and end zone were mostly LSU fans. Oklahoma filled their corner, half of the sideline and entire endzone. I would say it was a 60/30 split in favor of LSU with 10% being neutral fans. It was nice to not hear the OU band play their song over and over again like a fellow SEC school from the Eastern Division does.
