LINK“And we ask our players, aight, to play for 60 minutes in the game, but yet I’m looking in the stands -- now this never used to be this way -- and the place is half empty by the time we get to the fourth quarter. So, why should the players play for 60 minutes if you’re not willing to stay committed to be a part of the team.

“You all want to be a part of the team when we win. Why don’t you stay committed for 60 minutes and stay there and support the players who are doing a hell of a lot more and working a lot harder to try to satisfy you and what you want than anything that you’re doing by staying at the game for a whole game?"

Why post this when LSU fans leave also? Are fans are the worse about leaving early.

He'd be really pissed if he was the head coach at LSU last week.

Why didn't Orgeron call out the LSU fans. Does he care? Maybe he's scared to call them out. He has a lot less job security than Saban, so Saban has the luxury to care if fans leave early.

I think he forgets that fans pay for tickets. If they want to buy a ticket and stay for 5 minutes and leave, it's none of his business. He needs to stick to coaching, what's sad is bama fans hail him as king so they'll do whatever he says.

I get where he is coming from but the fans don't get paid millions to be there, the fans don't have a future career making millions by being there, the fans don't have portacools sitting two feet away, the fans don't have essentially servants waiting on them...

Some fans have shite to do or a long drive ahead.

If he really wants the seats full, open the gates at half time.

I've always stayed until the end. But I don't care if anyone wants to leave early.

I've never left during an SEC game - but it's hard to justify boiling half-alive in the September or October sun when it's 90+ degrees against Directional State U. Sorry, Coach, but I'm going to Innisfree to legally drink and blow down in the bathrom.

Start selling beer, and people might stick around for a blowout.

Just tell Nick the fans are going to a peaceful protest. He'll shut his dick sucker up then.

How about Saban and UA stop buying wins from Fresno State and Colorado State and give fans a reason to stay for 60 minutes? What a joke the home schedule has become

Isn't this quote basically a massive insult to Ole Miss? He's basically implying that the upcoming game will not be competitive in the fourth quarter.

Fans may be willing to stay longer if they could get an affordable food and drink at a game. Especially mid afternoon games when it is getting close to supper time, I'll be damned if I am going to buy $60 worth of hot dogs and Cokes and Snickers bars for my family when we could spend the same at a decent sit down restaurant right after the game right in town.

Last week when Alabama was beating Vandy 59-0 with 13 minutes left, there were still 25,000+ Alabama fans in the crowd........For a road game.
