re: LSU Fans Leaving Early

I left when Moreno broke that long TD run in the 3rd quarter. I pay for my season tickets, I can do whatever the frick I want. Get over it fan police, if you don't like it, turn your station.

I was in the student section on Saturday (seventh streight year havn't missed a single game)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


hahaha you've been a student for 7 years???


student for 4 used my brothers id the last 3 cause his best friends dad has suite tickets at shaw. Although i must say wouldn't trade student tickets for suite tickets on a bad day. best 7 years of my life been to every single home game every sec champ and national champ and all the good away games for face value. If everybody could be this lucky

THAT's what I'm talking about!

Yeah, you're right. All of you who say that is 100% right. But what I saw Saturday night shows me that we ARE NOT the best fanbase in the country. Nowhere near it. We have a shite ton of bandwagon fans. And when things are good we can be loud and a force to be reckoned with. But as soon as it gets a little rough too many leave and turn their back. So yes, you absolutely have the right to be a bandwagon fan. Good for you. At least you admit it, I suppose.

Seems to me the only ones bitching about people leaving and the ones at home on thier asses watching on TV..


Probably the same people that bitch when you ask them for face value for a ticket to the North Texas game.

As a season ticket holder I firmly believe that I have the right to leave when I damn well please.

True, but being a season ticket holder doesn't give you the right to be above criticism for leaving when you damn well please. Your post would have a point if people were advocating barring the exits shut until the end of regulation.

Do you really think anyone can dictate when people choose to exit from an event they paid to see?

Non sequitur much?

No one is talking about dictating anything. We're just talking about how much they suck for leaving so early. I, personally, know that if paid for a ticket to an event that only happened 7 or 8 times a year, and left early to go sit in traffic or drink beer from a cooler or sit in a bar or do any one of the millions of other things I can do basically anytime I want year 'round, I'd feel like an idiot.

Likewise, I find people who feel like an extra 45 minutes sitting around doing whatever they do for the other 8700+ hours of the year is worth more than the 45 minutes spent doing what they only have the opportunity to do about 28-32 hours of the year equally idiotic.

And that's before you even address the notion of calling themselves "fans" or "supporters", and then turning around and arguing that they are justified in leaving because they are not being entertained. I mean, I've left movies and shows early because they sucked and weren't fun. But I'd never call myself a "fan" or "supporter" of them.

That being said, am I the only one who was embarrased by so many LSU fans leaving Tiger Stadium early on Saturday? That was ridiculous.

It has to do with the fan base now being comprised of yuppie puppies, corporate groups and other fat cat types instead of families who plan their entire weekend around coming to the game.
The game is now beyond the financial reach of those folks. Now it's all about coming to the game to be seen at the game instead of seeing the game. Most people get there late and leave early if LSU is winning or losing. It makes no difference to people and that is sad. I have had season tickets since 1962 when I got out of the army and moved to back to New Orleans to start my firm. I have watched as the families were squeezed out starting in the early 80s. By the mid to late 90s, they were all but gone. Replaced by a bunch of assholes who claim that they are better fans because they could afford the tickets. Fact is, they aren't and never will be. Hell, I can afford to keep my tickets that since 1973 have been on the 48 yd line and I can tell you that the people around me have changed completely in the last 15 years. They show up, hardly yell at all and cop an attitude when I or my kids/grandkids who usually use the tickets yell for the Tigers. Sad, really sad.
