Many reason but one that is probably being overlooked:

Ticket prices and all the other stuff they nickel and dime fans for now, casual fans that used to cherish going to games have reached a "frick it" level of aggravation with the whole gameday experience at LSU. It's becoming a more and more corporate atmosphere where the people with tickets don't give two shits about what happens on the field. It's fricking sad.

This is probably pretty true. I think while some have tried to falsely claim that our program was on the decline a very good argument can be made that our fan support is on the decline and that will only lead to program declinage in the near future. It is sad. I shudder to think how poor attendance would be if our teams was anywhere near as bad as the Hallman years. We still got 50-60 k in the stadium regularly then. If today's team was that bad we'd be doing good to crack 30k. T.S would be comparable to the Super Dome for Tulane games.
