Point is, you guys aren't alone.... it is a growing group of ticket holding LSU fans who feel the same way. It leads to the weak atmosphere in and around TS on gameday.

I thought tailgating wasn't as big as it could have been, but nothing that different from usual.
I thought the crowd was into this game WAYYYY more and for WAYYYY longer than any other game this year.
The place was fricking rockin when we were up 42 in the 3rd.

i was there for UTenn last year and it was a better atmosphere
HDTVs, bathrooms, and home BBQ pits weren't invented in the past calendar year

Now you are just being silly.
What do you think it is? In fact, Tiger Stadium has become a weaker, and weaker atmosphere over the last four or five years. We haven't had a true TS atmosphere (in and outside) more than a couple times in the last few years. Im seeing the aura wane, while creature comforts at tailgates, and at home , have been increasing in that same time frame.
My opinion also comes from listening to so many people actually say that they'd rather be back at the tailgate or at home than in TS or on campus on gameday. I never really remember hearing so much of that until the last few years.

Yea it wasn't that loud in the beginning, but the 3rd and beginning of the 4th was the most energy that's been in the crowd all year.
As much as I love beating the shite out of the other team, I don't know if this team is capable of having games like 2007 where the games come to the wire and are full of gigantic game changing plays.
The only game changing plays we've been having are the plays that turn a win into a blowout and a blowout into an arse beating. NOT that there's anything wrong with that.

brah, TS was rocking in 2007
i don't know if any game has started as loudly as VT in 2007. then add in the UF game and AU game?
let's not forget bama in 2008, either
TS still gets krunk for big games

We reset the loudest crowd decibel level 3 times due to those games.
Holy fricking shite those games were loud.

setting the loudness record b/c we found out another team lost (while we were losing the game) is fricking epic

Charging for parking maybe?

my friend (who gave me the extra ticket) said it was a lot different for the florida game, so i don't know
he was amazed at the lack of traffic (he drove in at the same time)

I was at each one of those games. Really good atmospheres. 2007 UF is the only one of those that had the whole package of Tiger Football atmosphere. Before, during, and after.
I agree with your spoiled fanbase comment, but that includes being "lazy" , and not "being there for the team".
We expect to win, but im not sure we care to make TS an intimidating place to play anymore.
If we didn't have the access to so many games on TV, sattelite TV at every other tailgate, and easily transportable, giant flat screen TVs, it wouldn't be so easy to leave TS during a game. Most of those people aren't leaving to beat traffic.
Last years WVU game should have been a better scene. If we played someone like WVU years ago, it would have been super-hype.
Sorry for my shitty post... im on my phone, with my wife on my lap.

That was pretty epic. It made that game soooooo much more important for both teams which meant the UF fans were cheering just as loud as anyone else.
Knowing that whoever won would be undisputed #1 and USC being out of the title picture (for the first time in about 4 years) was big.

I know this is off your topic, but the tailgate atmosphere in Dallas for the Oregon game was badass. And maybe because it's a dome, but it was loud the entire game. LSU fans rocked the shite out of that place.

if USC doesn't lose that game, and it isn't announced in the stadium, we don't beat UF that year

As crazy as that sounds I can't really disagree. The crowd was in a frenzy after that and I think they players fed off of it big time.

yeah i didn't go, so i can't comment
maybe we've just played so many "big" games this year that fans are tuckered

I think that most fans felt it was going to be a huge blowout, and honestly have been focused strictly on Bama since the Florida game. I guess you can call that lazy. But from what I've seen, when it's a huge game with national attention, like Oregon was, LSU fans amp up to a whole different level.
And speaking to some of the local Dallas establishments, they believe LSU fans pre-game are on a level on their own.
