Not everyone can give up that much time for a football game



You important international movers and shakers can't give up an entire Saturday for a football game? I mean there are only 52 of them in a year, right? And all day is such a big chunk of time taken away from your mission of saving the world, or whatever other important thing you are destined to do.

Just listen to yourselves: "A whole day?? OMG!!! An entire day!!!! In slow traffic, sitting on hard seats, braving the weather, sitting next to loud and boisterous people, having to consume barely digestible stadium food, struggling to get to crowded rest rooms before you wee-wee on yourself, then having to creep in traffic going home!!"

I live in NC, so when I go, yeah it's all day and all weekend. I love every minute of it...

If I lived in BR, I would have season tickets but I would NOT do the whole day thing for every game

Only for the prime time games, maybe

the traffic is a problem, at least the AD agrees with me..

I'm a season ticket holder and I live about an hour from BR. I start tailgating at 8am for 6 or 7pm kickoff. From the time I leave my house until the time I get home it's about a 17 hour day! AND IT'S ALL WORTH IT!!!



for fun I am curious how old you are?

Kids, wife, house? etc

When I go to games, I can spot the all day every game no matter what folks pretty easy.

Why do people in Louisiana love to embrace their own unwillingness to solve a problem?

It's that way with a lot of things, and the embarrassingly bad traffic response is only 1 small example of about a dozen more I could come up with.

We love being completely backwards, unorganized, sloppy, whatever you want to call it. The rest of the country's major football programs get it, yet we don't and we take pride in that. Unreal.

Interesting take...some truth for sure

However, I don't think TD's sampling is accurate of all Tiger Fans opinion on this issue.
