Temple is in philly.

I understand your point quite well,& in fact invited an old friend I met tailgating the other day to come sit with us at the Nicholls game & he & his wife just didn't want to go into the football game. I tried talking them into going & they politely refused like they felt they were a jinx for the team. They are big baseball fans & go to just about every baseball game? I think this team & school has let its fans down so many times in the past that there are actually a lot of potential fans that are afraid of coming into the games because of it. I know it sounds crazy, but that's the way some people are. What I am talking about is people that are just plain old RUDE. It is rude to get up during the middle of a concert & walk out on the performers. Likewise it is rude & sends a very nasty negative message to the people you are supposed to be supporting to leave a game early. The message, I don't care how hard you've worked, my little world is too improtant to show the courtesy of seeing your whole play & I think your dog & pony show stinks. Is that what fans want to say to this coaching staff that has done an unbelievable job so far? I swear people need to think about things bigger than themselves sometimes.

I understand your point. I was being sarcastic in my earlier post. I am one who stays to the bitter end even in the bad old days. I only left early once and that was because I couldn't stomach another ____ poor coaching performance by the Rev. What amazes me is that after decades of futility we now have the chance to countdown the game clock and celebrate victories and people leave early. I just don't get it.

But we can't do that! They might just be returning to theirbtailgating spot that they paid for. We can't force them to support the team.

Are they allowed back in after half time with ticket?

[NOCajun]

LSU A&M BR is not a factor in our attendance in my eyes. Tigger stadium is sold out and is always sold out mostly with season ticket holders, so unless these extra people are only going to tailgate then the numbers sould not fluctuate.

The only problem with this logic is that it doesn't account for the other 50-75,000 fans (only an approximation ) that stay home to watch purple and ______ on TV instead of coming to watch a GOOD CAJUNS team LIVE.

There you go thinking again!!! LOL!

[NOCajun]

LOL! Yes, one of the Hoax fans actually made the claim that they lead the Belt in attendance.

They really DON'T teach people up there how to count, do they?

Just up to ten; twenty if they don't wear shoes. They would go as high as 32 if more importance were placed on dental hygiene.

I knew you were being sarcastic & refering to your gripe in the other attendance thread, but I agree with your point. I can understand people tailgating at an LSU game because there are only so many tickets to go around to get in. Although I wouldn't want to fight their traffic just to tailgate. To me the whole purpose of tailgating is to get the big payoff of seeing YOUR team play. With the quality of performance this team is putting out this season. It is shameful & wretched for anyone who calls themsleves a UL fan not to be there for every minute. I have been 100 miles offshore for the past month, & out of the thousand dollars worth of tickets I bought, I MIGHT get to see three games now. I plan on enjoying every minute of everyone of those games if I can be there. I also plan on telling the trashy folks that walked out on the team at half time to Please if they even think about complaining about me hollering for MY team again. I think I'll bring a copy of the fishwrap with Foote's story in it to prove to the cops & security that the powers that be at the school actually do want people to be EMOTIONALLY INTENSE when they go to the game.

A buddy of mine had a similar problem a few years back with some of the older folks in UD2 who objected to him standing and cheering. My friend's solution was to contact Chivaun at the ticket office. He alerted her of what was going on as a preemptive measure in case a complaint was made about him. I think a similar call or email to the AD might alert game day management that security is erroneously ejecting you based on frivolous complaints.

We do have some older fans who seem to have been content with and perhaps would like to return to the days of mediocre to poor performances and the accompanying crypt-like silence of the Authement regime.

We weren't "ejected" per say. I was specifically told I was being to "emotionally intense" & that I would have to "calm down" to be allowed to return to my seat. At a FREAKING COLLEGE FOOTBALL GAME! Imagine the irony in that statement. Instead of a couple of Daquiri's I thought someone had slipped LSD in my drink.

As pretty much everyone knows (cuz I told them), I've had my run in's with fans and security in the past. Having said that, even though I disagree with most of your points, you are welcome to come sit with me during games. I have learned from my past incidents and have moved on. I even back up when standing on 3rd down so the fans in the GA section can see and scream with me. However, the guy who called the cops on me at the Kansas State game can still kiss it since he (and his family) still don't stand no matter what the game situation. PM me Kyle and I'll give you my seat location since nobody ever sits in front of me, except the family who sits a few seats down in the row in front of me (their sons are hilarious, the older one was fussing at the younger one cuz he spilled his popcorn lol).
