Inside the dome, it will be 60/40 LSU at the absolute worst.

There's a lot more LSU fans out today than there were last night. Of course they may have all been in black and gold.

Tomorrow even more LSU fans will show up. I'm sure some Bama fans will come in tomorrow too but there's no way its anywhere close to the amount of LSU fans.

60/40 at best.


60/40 fans is like a 90/10 advantage in noise.

Even your own players said the toughest away game they had this year was the LSU crowd at Tuscaloosa.

Your paying fans are all old white bread eaters.

That could be true, but all the Bama fans have tickets.

Not true. 2 of the 4 gumps I know in NOLA right now do not have tickets and they drove from Houston. I would say a shitload that drive over from Mobile and get bussed in from Biloxi will not have tickets.

you really have no idea how tickets are distributed huh?
bama would have to buy up every ticket on stubhub to have ~45% of the dome.

this has been discussed, with actual numbers and facts, at length

God damn. I'm done. I try to bring a little knowledge to a group that could clearly use it, but it just won't take.

You guys are on your retarded own now.

i do agree it will be about 60/40.. but he isnt completely wrong.. that nearly twice as many LSU fans

and like i said about the NCG last year, that was the Auburn/Oregon breakdown and from being there it seemed like an Auburn home game.

My reasoning is that the kind of person who is a passenger in a chartered plane probably sips on wine and samples cheese in a suite during the game. They are primarily there to keep up appearances.

funny, I'm actually saving money on the charter compared to the three night minimum on hotel rooms. you realize charter does not equal private jet... right?

This.

There were a bunch of us that all went to the Saints game last night. We hung out downtown all day long yesterday, but did not step foot in the Quarter and we were all dressed in Saints gear.

We are all back at home today. Go back downtown tommorrow afternoon.

There are soooooo many LSU fans that are going to the game that are not hanging out in the quarter right now, but will be at the game in full force.

I was actually wondering what the difference between private and chartered was.

When I said "worst" I meant it from a Bama fan's perspective, which is obviously what I am.
