re: Jordan Hare stadium hate it!

It was my first trip to Auburn as well, and I thought J-H was a nice facility. The fans were very loud; I thought it was impressive.

Yes, there were rude AU fans, but as someone said, they don't get a warm reception at TS either. Overall, I had a great experience; I'd go back.

Anyway, if UF is worse than AU, no need to go there.

Coming out of lurkdom to throw in my two cents:

I realize I am highly biased, but last year I was sitting in the UF student section with some Auburn fans surrounded by Gators, and they were INCREDIBLY obnoxious, and the worst thing anyone said to them was "USF." They, however, spent the whole game saying how stupid our cheers were, how bad our stadium was, and how the girls were not "classy" for not wearing dresses. Coming from two girls wearing faded arse sundresses and a guy with mud all over his feet, this was just a tad ironic.

Having said all that, I will admit some UF fans are douches. I'm sorry! If you run into me I'll be nice at least.

Good job beating AU by the way, I was rooting for you guys.

Jordan Hare? Seriously?

I am surprised by the amount of homophobia present in these posts. Get a clue!

The best part of the night, other than the victory of course, came when they pumped in "Living On A Prayer" through the PA. As soon as it went off the LSU band started playing the same song...........

And once again the Auburn fans started singing the chorus until they realized it was the LSU band playing it.

There was as much consistent noise in that place as Tiger Stadium.

Are you serious? Compared to N. Texas. Sure.

Compared to a big SEC game like the one played last night? Not even close.

Geert does see things through different colored glasses though. He consistently pumps up Jimbo Fisher compared to Crowton, etc. I'm pretty sure he's not an LSU fan.

Why, in the name of Christ do people go to games & feel like they have to yack on the phone is baffling. Your friends & family know you're there, they're likely watching, the game was exciting, and crowd noise has to make it difficult to hear. Cell phone users at games

First time I attended a game in Baton Rouge at Tiger Stadium, I called home to tell my wife how great it was (took me about 5 minutes to get a line out). I had great seats, on the 50, row M. I told my wife I could almost see the ghost of Huey Long walking on the sideline. It was a halloween weekend game LSU vs. Ole Miss.

I've never said Fisher was better or worse. I've have stood strong that Fisher was great for LSU & is very underappreciated. Until last year, LSU experienced its best offensive production under his guidance. But some LSU fans blast the guy like he was Lou Tepper.
TS has moments where the crowd noise is likely unmatched. But the consistently, is not much different than what you'll hear at UF, Auburn, or UGA. If you don't think TS has changed over the years when it comes to sustained noise, you're deaf.
You're right, I don't see everthing through purple & gold glasses. I'm a bit more realistic.
And if you think I'm not an LSU supporter, that's your issue.

I thought the stadium and atmosphere was great. They stayed loud more consistently than Alabama did when I went there last year. Tiger Stadium definitely has moments where it's deafening. I never experienced that last night.

I was never treated poorly by their fans or saw any of them behaving like a bunch of douches. A lot of the students we met there just blew us off and kind of came across like asses, but they never did anything I wouldn't expect to witness at an SEC football game.

And please spare the "they look like queers" comments. I'd much rather students upkeep the tradition of dressing up a little bit to games than looking like complete slobs.
