re: The new "No Standing in Tiger Stadium" rule is ridiculous.

Ahhh yes, my old favorite, anonymous internet bravado.

cajuntiger2222 - you sound like an old lady. You don't belong in the stadium if you complain about people standing up and cheering.

Well there goes LSU's claim. No way it can now be considered the hardest place to play in CFB. Autzen fans stand all game screaming...no breaks and no yelling "just for big plays" like Tiger stadium. Have fun sitting on your hands

Your uniforms are still ugly as frick.

There's no need to stand the entire game.

There's no "need" to be at the game at all. Standing enables louder yelling as well as stomping and other noise-generating activities. Whenever LSU is on defense, no fan should be punished for trying to make as much noise as possible. Forcing people to sit physically reduces the amount of noise that can be generated in the stadium. That's an absolutely stupid and indefensible position. No person's selfish, petty insistance that the entire world cater to their whims should trump the crowd benefit to the team. And that is exactly what is happening here. People who would rather make rules to force other people to do what they want them to do rather than make any effort to accomodate themselves (like standing up themselves or -- god forbid -- actually risk a partially obstructed view of a play they don't even consider important enough to stand up to see). These people would rather have someone use force to disrupt the legitimate, customary and routine enjoyment of tens of thousands of people rather than lift a finger or suffer even the slightest discomfort. It's assinine, lazy, selfish, petty, arrogant and insulting. They are flat out insisting that they are far better and more important than everyone else, so whatever inconveniences them in even the slightest way must be changed no matter how much it disrupts, distracts or otherwise interferes with the enjoyment of the "little people" who don't matter.

And, for the record, if it is allowed to happen in the rest of the stadium, it absolutely WILL happen in the student section. It is only a matter of time. If I had a million dollars, I would leverage it to borrow more millions and bet it all on that fact. If we do not stop this bullshite now, it will never be stopped and Tiger Stadium will inevitably be eroded into pure myth.

Call it alarmism if you like, but anyone who has been going to Tiger Stadium can tell you just how laughably insane the idea of anyone in Tiger Stadium being forced to sit would have sounded just twenty years ago.

King, you are on a serious role tonite. I love it.

All I have to say is 1979 LSU vs USC....


they let in more people than could sit in most sections.

Our row in U-19 had 5 extar people on it that night and all the rows in U-19 had a few extars.

So we stood all the game, including half time and 20 mins after the game to cheer for the team.

What makes Tiger stadium stand above the rest? It is the noise we make. So explain the science behind that it is louder if you stand. This shite about you are more roundly and a better Tiger fan does not compute. Noise is the key. I like the “new” rule. I have seen over the many years I have been going to LSU games is that there are a few individuals who stand, not given any consideration to the fans behind them, that make others stand just to see the game. The ones behind the ones that are standing are considerate enough not to bother them and ask them to set down and just stand so they can watch the game. Then the behind them have to stand etc. You get my point. I am not saying sit during the entire game. I think if the game is exciting enough we should stand most of the game, not the entire game. It is physically impossible for some fans the stand the entire game. Don’t tell me to stay home and watch the game. What kind of Tiger fan are you to say to another Tiger fan to stay home? Use common sense when it come to standing or sitting. Of course common sense goes out the window if the “Tiger fan” is drunk and only thinks of themselves. Know you limits on drinking. Yes I do drink before the game.

Well thank goodness we still have the right to be spontaneous, so kind of them.

Bottom line, when my defense is on the field I am standing and yelling to I lose my voice; if that is unacceptable to you feel free to leave a message at 1-800-KISS-arse.

It is a f*!king football game people... Jesus.. the pussification of America continues.....
