Well, after 2:30pm for a 6:30pm game, there won't be many free parking spots left on campus...I think having less non-parking pass traffic on campus is a good thing.

You'd be surprised. I've had season tickets for years and i can always find parking spots in the Ag Center free lot 30 minutes before the game. I've never not found parking in that area. A lot of people that park there just tailgate and leave around game time.

I know some people that saw all this. Said there was a mob of North Baton Rouge's finest fighting each other on the edge of campus near the law center. Said they did not hear or see any gunshots though. They said it was pretty wild.

PFF said that LSU had their best PFF defensive rating ever vs. Clemson Saturday night. That includes games vs. cupcakes and FCS schools.

There was an Hispanic anchor woman whose last name I think was Flores that I believe went from WBRZ to CNN or one of those other larger networks. Could be wrong on the last name but I think that's it.

I lived and worked in downtown Baton Rouge for years and these two things have always been highly exaggerated by this board, especially the notion that it's a high crime area.

Landry had nothing to do with this, although he's going to claim that he did. The changes that the Dept. of Education put in place that facilitated this improvement were put in place under the previous administration. Don't give the previous governor credit though. All credit should go to the people at the Department of Education who came up with a good plan.

Yep, just paid off my wife's car 2 years early and my score dropped from 810 to 775.

I had a credit card get cancelled by the credit card company because I hadn't used it in forever and my credit score dropped from 815 to 775. You would think not having credit card debt would be a good thing, right?

Came here to see if anyone else is hearing this. Been hearing rumbling sounds off and on all day (it lasts too long for it to be thunder). House rattled too just now. I'm guessing maybe Dow flaring?

Been having season tickets for over 25 years. People leave early to beat traffic. The traffic sucks at times. I live 4 miles from the stadium and it's taken me over 2 hours to get home plenty of times. I will say though, to me the traffic hasn't been as bad this year as in the past few. People with young kids also leave early as it's past the kids bed times. Also it's so corporate now with businesses buying seats so there are way more people going to game that don't care about LSU football and leave after halftime. If you want proof of this, look at the south end zone. The South end zone has less corporate seats and is always the most full part of stadium.

I was at the game and there was a mass
Exodus when LSU scored that TD in the 3rd quarter. The temperature dropped after halftime to uncomfortably cold levels and there were a lot of under dressed people at the game, especially females. Guess they didn't pay attention to the weather forecast or are just dumb.

In saying all this, I could care less if people leave early. It's there money, they can do what they want with it. The people on here that constantly whine about how it looked bad on tv obviously weren't at the game if they are watching on TV, so you have no place to be whining.

Not sure about how much money it takes but in my experience this type of line movement typically means good news for LSU.
