Did you read KajunKrazy's research? "6,351" undergraduate students.
Agree.
For a half dozen years I have proposed Louisiana copies what Utah did with MUSS. (Mighty Utah Student Section)
20 years ago their student section was empty. They established MUSS and now it constantly wins awards.

I just said a prayer for this thread hoping its put out of its misery soon and painlessly
The issue is not whether or not UL is a commuter school (which I think it clearly is), the issue is G5 football itself. Nobody cares about it. Not even when we're winning. With SEC football being played at a very high level 60 miles to the east, our football program is completely irrelevant to most casual fans in south Louisiana, and it's only going to get worse from here.
... not.
Students at "commuter" schools have no choice, no options, no dorms.
Students at "commuter" schools do not have mandatory on campus living for undergraduates.
Students at Louisiana who commute, do so by choice, not by force.
Students choosing to save money by driving to school (regardless of how many choose to do so) when there are thousands of available apartments in city limits, do not change the definition of UL not being a commuter school.
They've won three national championships in the recent era, produced a Heisman Trophy winner, and they've contended for the SEC West title almost every year. If that isn't a "high" level, what is? My point isn't how good LSU is, or is not, it's that it is very hard (if not impossible) for us to compete with the SEC for the casual football fan in our area, whether he commutes to school or not.
