1. I've never seen so many people tailgating before.

2. I've never seen so much hot arse walking around campus, or anywhere in the world for that matter. Ladies, you were unbelievable... and plentiful

3. Why does it look like we STILL can't defend the option(crush the qb every time), even when the quarterback is one solid head shot away from the bench?

4. Why has Jordan Jefferson NOT been coached to NOT take a sack on 4th down, and if not before the first time, then WHY NOT BEFORE THE SECOND? Throw the ball up in the air for Christ's sake. Maybe one of our guys will grab it. If it's picked off it's like a bad punt.

5. Tiger Stadium was far weaker than I expected. I heard it louder during the Hallman years. I had to coax my section into even clapping for the defense, of course I was on the 50 halfway up the lower bowl sitting with the snobs who leave early.

6. Why did Russell Sheppard not play a single down?

You're the first one I've heard say that. I thought that the stadium was rocking for most of the game. Of course, it's tough to sustain enthusiam when you're team is not giving you much to cheer about.

One fricking TD and that place would have exploded and not shut up the rest of the game

I thought it was loud as frick when the teams had the staredown before the game. I don't recall it being that loud at any point during the game, especially after the 3 or 4 consecutive off-sides penalties.

I yelled every defensive down, to the point that some neighbors were getting annoyed. They shouldn't have been in the fricking stadium.

i am not sure about the noise level, but as far as crowd participation goes, we have not had that much enthusiasm since UF 2007. IMHO

They had so many weapons on their option attack. and you have to take the QB to make him make a decision

During Florida's first posession, that stadium was unbelievablly loud. As the game went on people wore down with the bad qb play and very punts in the game for florida. Florida drove the field on every posession it seemed like.

This is something I also have noticed. The 2003 UGA game was loud the entire game and was louder then the 2007 Florida game in whole. The problem is that average fans are being priced out of the game. During the Hallman days going to LSU games was not the "in" thing to do so only true fans went. Now that LSU is winning the true fans are being replaced with some high dollar snob bandwagon fans who arrive late and leave early. This is the price it costs to compete in today's college football world.

Hit the qb as hard as you can as fast as you can, and make him pitch the ball. On a normal quarterback, you end up with early, ineffective pitches and maybe fumbles. With a recently concussed qb, you may get those sooner and also get him out of the game.

I've been watching LSU get baffled by the option all my life. I think Saban's the only one that had it nailed.
