And for the record LEAVING THE STADIUM EARLY IS A VALUE-NEUTRAL OCCURENCE. It is not inherently anything.

Would I prefer everybody be just like me and stay until the end ? si' amigo.

Am I mature enough to understand other people have other opinions/agendas/concerns/obligations? Thats an affirmitive.

the point is -lets just be realistic about all these claims to fan greatness we make. Thats all. If things aren't going well, we bail on the Tigers.

Really, you are King Of The Dipshits


Yeah us Dipshits ( surrounded by Gumps in the stadium) were there yelling and rooting for LSU to beat bama, while sellouts were at ToyR Us shopping on the profit made off the game

You have to resort to some lame "it's my right to sell my tickets " cause fact is you and all the other dipshits ARE sell outs.. that thought it was more important to sell out than be there in TigerStadium cheering for the Tigers at the biggest game of the year.
So what if you CAN sell them? Stubhub doesn't discriminate? So what you knew that when you put them on there.

Free speech-- another fundamental right, let's me call the sellouts what they are for doing it.

I'd bet anything that if we had continued to suck it up and wound up losing by 42 points that folks like cajuncharger wouldn't be on the rant yelling about people leaving early.

We don't believe in our team, we don't believe in our coaches, it's not important to us anymore to even stay at the stadium. We have made second-guessing an art form and have a juvenile view of reality. We bitched our way through a National Freaking Championship and now we are sniveling through a 9/10 win season. THAT IS WHO WE ARE. Snivelers. Whiners. Crybabies. With a ridiculous sense of entitlement.


Blame a lot of that on Bertman and TAF for pricing out A LOT of the hard-nosed traditional LSU fans. A lot of the people in that stadium now belong to the "candy arse-attention whore see and be seen" crowd. The least little thing goes wrong and they're outta there. Just add cold weather and a blowout and it's a no brainer. Dey be leavin. Hey at least keep your arse in the seat until after halftime. (Yall missed the Troy Band Saturday).........

I'm calling BS on that. If you, or anyone, is that "hard-nosed" you'd find a way to pay for 'em.

sometimes paying over 300 dollars for tickets is unreasonable, but it is not just LSU

Clasic case of LSU having too many bandwagon fans going to games because Tiger Stadium is to too many people now "somewhere to be seen" instead of a place where die hards come to watch the team.

true, but hopefully they will filter off. I can't imagine the fans have changed much since the beginning. It's not like we have transplanted thousands of new people into Louisiana that all of a sudden like the Tigers.

Yeah, alot of those some are old people that do not cheer, but they probably once did. It's hard to pinpoint them. Hopefully our new fans from the success will either shape up or get out though

I will check the LSU "REAL" fan guidebook, written by a guy who has been a "TRUE" fan since it's genesis, 2003-8th game, and see if taking a dump allows you to keep your current status.

But, i'm guessing you might lose your tix.
