My old man called saying he had an extra ticket yesterday. Trying to convince myself to drive 9 hours Friday night and Sunday morning vs watching on TV and getting drunk on my couch!



You are why Tiger stadium isn't what it use to be.

I seriously doubt that 15K LSU fans bought tickets on the secondary market which is what Ott heard. But if that many did, my hats off to LSU fans.

My estimate is this: 3500 (official party, etc) plus 500 who bought UT season tickets plus 6000 (secondary market) plus 150 (got tickets from friends/relatives) for a total of...

10,150 LSU fans in that stadium Sat night.

Wear purple. Gold will get lost with the orange


I'm not wearing purple on a sunny 102 degree day.

Gold will have to do. In my opinion, offers good contrast to rotting orange.

If you had told me this a week ago I wouldn’t have believed it, but I’m starting to think this might be accurate.

It’s a small sample size, but 20 of the 21 people I know coming in for the game either have tickets already or are buying before kickoff. Not a single one of those tickets are in the LSU allotment.

Hope it’s true!

Nearly every Tiger fan I know in Dallas is going with tickets. Lots of secondary and corporate tix.

Don’t forget all the Texas Tiger fans with corporate tickets. Lots of corporate seats in Austin.

Ascension Catholic math tells me 15,000 tickets from secondary market plus 3,500 tickets from LSU allotment equals 18,500 Tiger fans.

Taught to show my work (15,000 + 3,500 = 18,500).

Rounding, like a good fisherman should, that equates to about 18.5% of the stadium.



And that’s extremely conservative. We got ours directly from a season ticket holder and I know a bunch of others who did the same. Rough estimates are also that LSU fans purchased 2000+ UT season tickets... 20K+

LSUGoose...you my friend, brought tears to my eyes...I am howling over here in Austin...

...and you can add one to your total (and please show your work) for I will be attending with a UT Alum’s Season Ticket.

Thank you for your astute calculations. Ascension Catholic must certainly be proud.

So ugh what’s your pops doing with that extra ticket? Want an overly loud LSU fan sitting next to him?

6 tix X 350 (literally, 300/per seat plus 50/seat fee on stub hub)
