3000 ticket allotment all in the nose bleed, including the band.
Throwing drinks on our football team during the game.
Shooting a cannonball through Joe's Jersey.
The DBU shirts.
The worst of all of these are the locker rooms. No AC or fans in the opponents locker room. LA Tech let us know ahead of time. We brought blowers and fans. This is a player safety issue.
As an LSU fan, I don't really have a problem with any of these except for the no A/C.
The 3000 ticket allotment and the band location was agreed upon by both ADs when this game was scheduled, so this will go both ways. Pretty stupid, but it was the deal that was struck.
The drink throwing came from the student section. It seems irresponsible to put the student section behind the visiting team's bench, but it is what it is. One thrown drink isn't nearly that bad. I shudder to think what our student section would do if they were located directly behind the visiting teams bench.
The cannonball thing and the DBU shirts are silly to get upset over.
Like I said, the no A/C in the locker room is busch league, but the rest is pretty tame.

If Texas was contractually obligated to provide safe facilities for the visiting team, that may very well be a willful violation

Totally agree. Why put the students behind the visitors' bench unless you want the students to taunt the visitors? It's just begging for trouble.
I always thought LSU was overly generous with our visitors' seats down in the southeast corner. Lots of lower decks seats. Seems like most everywhere else you are forced to sit in the nosebleeds. But never the band. That's alright, though, stick every last Texan in the nosebleeds next year. They'll be safer from the piss balloons up there. Smart move for their safety.

The deal was 5,000. Texas changed it due to construction. (bullshite)

Yeah. The rest of it is petty...the A/C is bad. They should probably put in some minimum standards for Visiting locker rooms for everybody. When programs are spending millions on their own locker rooms and facilities, they can put a little extra into the visitors locker rooms.
