Not trying to throw an accelerant on a fire (Antifa reference) but have you ever been to a game at LSU or an SEC stadium?
I went to an LSU game when OSEwe opened the 2004 season there (the year before Katrina struck)
These fans CARE & party and pack the stadium.
The RV’s were parked and they were tailgating three days before the game.
I asked a local at a pizza parlor why the atmosphere was so insane several days prior to the game. Was it because they won the Natty the year before?
He looked at me like I was nuts. They said you ought to be here when Florida, Alabama or Auburn come.
Game day, Oregon State arrives at Tiger Stadium in 3 buses. The buses are stopped and surrounded by crazed fans who rock the buses from side to side while screaming “Tiger Bait.”
The block of seats they gave to the OSEwe fans were so high, it felt like climbing a mountain to get there. Essentially, you were up, out of the stadium, could not here the PA, could not see the replay screen and the players were so small they were not identifiable.
Trust me. The game in Dallas was a home game for LSU fans despite the 450 mile distance.
As an aside, at the Natty in 2011 in Phoenix, 10,000 Auburn fans showed up without tickets and were paying $2,000 per ticket to get in. I know people who sold shitty seats and went to a bar near the stadium and watched the game.
If you want to understand SEC football better, read the book, “Rammer Jammer, Yellow Hammer”. It’s about Alabama football. The writer, who grew up an Alabama fan, spent a season traveling by RV with the Alabama faithful to away games.
I HAVE NEVER LAUGHED SO HARD in my entire life reading a book.
