Here's the problem with that argument. There are 2 reasons he can say that. 1. Hes the most successful college coach ever and they dont lose. And 2. They sell out every game and they lose revenue over seats they could sell if students won't show. We have neither here. No one in acadiana is excited to go to games. We could be 4-1 or 5-0 and beat the best program in the country and I'd imagine we still wouldn't have 45k at homecoming game this weekend.

I'm excited

I get what you’re saying in the first part and agree.

As for the 2nd part...if we were somehow 5-0 right now with wins over Miss State and Bama, you’d have a butt in every seat and patch of grass at Cajun Field. If anything, even just LSU fans curious to see what the hell our team is about.

Of course, that’s not the case right now.

An here is problem with that argument. Maybe, just maybe if 10-15 % more students come to the game we might make that 25,000 some are predicting. I think the base fans, not students, are making the game for the most part. Saban is _____ing because of the same reason some of us are. I think the player, after the game, are looking on the student side for support, win or lose. They have a few rail birds looking for a hand slap after the game. Those deserve a high five.......

By your metrics if we have 300-500 more students come to the game we might get 25k to the game? That's not much of a difference. Base fans ARENT doing their part. I'll give you another scenario. Imagine there's 35-45k base fans in the stands every game. I'd bet you would see an almost exponential.growth in students.
