re: The stadium being hot is admittedly a good excuse for what fans would have already done

You can't beat traffic leaving that late.

The last game I left early was ole miss lsu in Jackson when we lost 32-0. I was 11. Yesterday I wanted to leave it was miserable hot. For kids, older people on the east side it was unsafe to sit backing for 4 hours. Under the stadium people were everywhere trying to stay but also get cool. If we play Alabama at 230 in September when it’s 95 degrees maybe a few more would try to tough it out but you’d see the same thing. We sat under an oak tree right out side then walked taking in the sights with my 5 yo… no rush not worried about “beating traffic”. Had nothing to do with UCLA. If you can’t enjoy the experience it’s not fun. Yesterday was not fun because of the heat.

And yet the student section was completely empty aside from the Greek kids at halftime.

I've never left a game early, and I normally complain like you, but yesterday was different. I saw two people pass out in my section in need of medical attention. I don't blame those that left.

You didn't even go, so shut the frick up, fricking hypocrite.

If the parking pass and the tickets aren’t free and/or you’re not going to the game, you have no right to bit and complain about what the crowd does. And that goes double for the buffet grazers in the media.

People leave early now because it's a dying tradition that most hold on to due to the past. It's overpriced, the food and hospitality are subpar, the game is played by a group who in spite of being coddled retards cozy up to other retards that hate America.

I lived for LSU for years. Now I have other priorities more pressing than watching definitely not college athletes playing to the highest bidder.

Correct. For reasons it's hard to identify, much of our fanbase has gotten to be fat, lazy, indifferent excuse-mongerers who always find a whiny reason to leave early. Just sluggardly. It's much worse at LSU than other marquee programs across the nation. Sad to see the legend of TS dwindle. It's nothing like it was in the late 1990s, 2000s, and first half of the 2010s.

You weren’t at the game. And you made an excuse.

Shut the frick up you hypocrite crybaby.

It’s not. Nick Saban ripped the Alabama fans for leaving early. Lane Kiffin made similar comments just this year. If Uf isn’t a national title contender, the swamp is completely dead outside of the LSU game.


Again, shut the frick up.

Oh, you mean the crowds aren’t the same as they were when LSU was a perennial national title contender? Are you really this fricking stupid ?

Ah yes, the excuse-monger who tries to hide his laziness behind a facade of self-righteous anger. Tiresome. Keep making those excuses.

For the record, in the hundreds of LSU games I've attended, I have never left early. Not for heat, or rain, or blowout wins or losses, or horrible play, or miserable experiences. Not in the horrors of the O regime or the dogshit days of Curly or countless away losses, not even the desolate final moments of the 2011 NC in the dome. It's really not that hard to sit in a seat for sixty minutes of football. It's very easy with even a small modicum of willpower and focus.

So your grandfather dies and the next day your thought is to trash on what people do at the game?

I don’t make excuses. I go to games and leave when I please because I’m an adult who isn’t tied to some idiotic ideals which make me feel better than others when I sit around in miserable conditions watching a bunch of teenagers play a game.


But congrats on all of your needless suffering. Let me know if you need a hand getting down from your cross.

You probably shouldn't go to the game at all. Doesn't sound like you are much of a fan in the first instance. Give the tickets to someone who cares and stay at home where you can flip the channel to Wheel of Fortune when your attention span is exhausted. Seriously, there is no need for you to be there.

These are the same people that will fight anyone who says LSU doesn’t have the best atmosphere in college football.

The home game crowds have been weak the last several years.

So they need to field national championship team to have fans show up? We talking about “the cathedral of college football”?

And? What does it matter? So fricking what. Anyone that purchased a ticket can do whatever the hell they want with it.
