I won't stay past the 2nd quarter against teams like sam houston. not even close to worth fighting the traffic.

Then why show up at all?

After re-reading through this thread, I have come to believe there is a fundamental difference in what students vs non-students think their role is at Tiger Stadium. I don't think the role of the student body at a football game is to demonstrate to the TV world what polite and upstanding citizens our young people are, and I think many of you feel it is; that the students should be on their best behavior as they would for a guest lecturer or something similar. I think their role is to fire up the players; to show their unwavering support of the team, especially in times of difficulty. Will them to win. STTD doesn't seem so terrible to me, although at my age I would never participate in the chant.

I will say, however, that those guys with the crosses painted on their chest do an awesome job of representing how to have a blast at a game, cheer madly for your team, and follow Christian principles - all at the same time. Hope they recruit more of them in the stands.

Student section is not as intimidating or as loud as it used to be. But then again, that's the case with almost every other school too.

They won't do what you ask them to, so it's not worth asking them.

Another generation will come in and hopefully get their act together and the good traditions will pick back up again.

Let the students be. The songs and chants played in Tiger Stadium get the players pumped to play. You must of not seen the dramatic turn around in Houston first hand. Students were going nuts, the elders in the crowd were sitting there pouting because we were down. Students are the ones who bring the team back from a slump.

5. Slow Down on the LSU chants and clapping - I am talking about pace not quantity. When I was a student, the clapping during the band's pregame was on point and synchronized well. Now it gets way too fast way too quick and ruins it

The ENTIRE stadium needs to take a lesson on this point.

The rest of your points can STTDB

You simply can not have this happening on national television.

Corso adn Big Pappi, said the F word loud and clear on TV. People laughed at Corso and cheered Pappi; when the TV inadvertenly catches a player in the heat of the moment shouting the F word, there isn't a TV meltdown. People curse in today's society...a lot...
