re: It's official: Bert made LSU fans quit

It's not a good trip. Too far and it hasn't been a big away game since 2006.

agreed, 17 point margins are pretty boring.

It was more of a reference to Arkansas being out of SEC contention a month before lsu comes to town.

I'd bet Arkansas has the poorest away attendance in the conference. Bama sent back tickets. That should tell you all you need to know.

Eta ok maybe not as bad as Mizzou

oh you mean the two schools geographically farthest from the bulk of SEC schools might have smaller road attendance? great detective work there.

personally I'm glad you don't, more tickets for home crowd and less trash on Dickson

Arkansas trashdicks are too poor to travel.

Lot of butthurt in here because people don't want to be miserable. I guess misery does love company.

If there's ever another semi-pro football league formed, I hope this is the name for the Arkansas team.

LSU is poor, literally poor.

It's no mystery that more humid climates feel colder than drier climates.

I've been outside on a rainy, 20 degree night in Baton Rouge, and I've experienced freezing skin warnings in Minneapolis.

Granted, 20 degrees is a rarity in Baton Rouge, but as humid as it is, it's nearly unbearable.

The first statement is correct, air conducts heat better when humid...basic physics. It's also part of why it feels so much worse when hot in humid climates (not the only reason, but a reason).

The second is way out in left field. It doesn't rain at 20 deg F, maybe freezing rain for a very short period but that is cold enough that it will freeze on contact. Don't stay out in that long, it isn't fun. However, the reason it "felt" colder than the freezing skin warnings is because at 20 your skin freezes slowly but at -30 it freezes fast as shite and you can't feel it. Hence the freezing skin warnings, frostbite doesn't hurt when you get it...it hurts when the dead tissue thaws out. No idiot on Earth can compare a cold day in Baton Rouge to a cold day in Minneapolis with a straight face.

We are inland of course, but we aren't always a dry climate. The weather in Fayetteville is a massive mixed bag in both summer and winter. It can be hot and almost arid in the summer, a few years ago it was so dry during the summer that a potted plant of mine caught fire from a damned ash from a BBQ grill 6 foot away. This year it's so humid and rainy I haven't watered my garden once and my tomatoes and watermelons are splitting on the vine. Some winters it is dry as a bone and cold, others anything concrete will stay wet from condensation for weeks...just sweating basically. Sometimes those extremes are only a week apart...on February 11 2010 it was -15 deg F and almost 2 foot of snow fell in a day, a week later it was 78 deg F.
