solution is student gets a voucher and then they give the free thing away in exchange for the voucher after the game

Get in line early to get a good seat to witness those Dwayne Scales dunks, huh?

What our astute LSU basketball marketing and promotions department fails to realize is that having an article written about an asinine policy like that hurts the basketball program far more than having a few students getting a free tshirt or hat then leaving before the game.

It should be war crime to make these poor students stay and watch McFraud's coaching.

These students are McMartyrs

Pass out the giveaway after the final buzzer.. on the front end if they aren't in the building before tip off, then they have to buy a ticket.

Crazy talk is to get a coach who can put a team on the floor that students will want to stay and cheer for. Dale did it Brady did it Wade did it. Milquetoast McMahon no chance!

Solution is to give people a reason to stay. All this does is make those students stare at their phones all game.

New LSU athletics policy aims to keep fans from leaving after basketball giveaways


In my LSU days (84-88) we would get to the PMAC with pizza in hand hours before tipoff to get the best seats. Granted we had a good team then and the seats were on the sidelines.

I have never seen a program more in the dumps than this one. We can't even keep students in the building


LSU basketball is the new York Jets

Just get some PMac student workers to pass out the giveaway at the under 16 timeout in the 2nd half. Problem solved.


They leave the games early too

At least the Jets always seem to sneak up on someone and win a game against a good team in late November and screw themselves out of the number 1 pick. We can’t even do that.
