I could see this as being true but not sure I buy the idea he’s coming here

ChatGPT says average ticket price is 63 dollars

our 50 yard line tickets in section 300 row 19 on Saturday had face value of 100, but we paid about 530 each for 2

so my question is, who gets that 430 dollar difference?

SeatGeek gets what in that cut?

Would it be fair to assume that someone is making a lot more money off these tickets than the university?

To be fair...we might also be a 4 loss team after this week


Yeah, but ole miss was supposed to be a playoff team with a Heisman winning quarterback.

They were going to magically run it back from last year

Uhhhhhhh. No. For me, the curse began after LSU beat Alabama in 1969. This "curse" is far older than you or, likely, your parents.


I was conceived on LSUs campus in 1965, born in 66

My parents graduated from LSU in 1967

This is NFL level money, no?


Above average for sure

WRONG! From 71-99 Bama won every game in BR.


I mainly referring to the era 2000 to present of when LSU expects to win these home games, not hope to win them



quote:

But in my opinion I feel like these next two games are huge for Kiffin. Optically you need to win at least one of Texas or Tennessee. If you lose both I’d say this season would be an absolute failure. No way this is a 7-5 roster. You’d also have zero wins against a worthy opponent. I feel like these next two games are massive not just for this year but the future of the program.


Agreed!

he needs to step up and win some big games

here is the chance

the team has had time to gel
quote:

I’m not sure this team is capable of beating Texas and UT. But imagine the melt, if a 9-3 LSU team, has an opportunity to beat Bama, in a playoff game rematch.


believe you me, I have thought about it!

I'd love another shot at this point, becaue it would mean we are in the playoff where anything can happen :lol:
quote:

There’s no curse - we’ve got to figure out something with Bama though

That bye week always seemed to help them more than it helped us though


The years we have beaten them, we go on and have great post seasons

think of it, we won two National titles during the Saban era of dominance while he was at Alabama

and we should have won a 3rd title while he was there...

so our run has been remarkable and it's because Nick got LSU off the mat and made us believers of what we could be as a program...

The closest thing I can remember to glory from 66 to 2000 was winning an Orange bowl against Nebraska of which we lost both of those. I am probably forgetting a few wins...but the Orange bowl back the day was considered a great acheivement.

in my lifetime, 2001, and 2003 was the beginning of the LSU golden era

4 national title games in 23 seasons...and if were not for Alabama, we would have had many more IMHO.

What if he can make more money in college than in the NFL?

I’ve been to 3 Bama-LSU games. Bama went 2-1. I love this series. Always loved when you guys came to Tuscaloosa. Tailgating was fun and the food was amazing. Great memories of hanging with LSU fans in The Quad. I hate the game won’t be played next season. I hate what college football is becoming.


My daughter is a cheerleader at Alabama, so we've been to many tailgates at Alabama

T town is nice, clean and pretty easy to get around town... we don't even know what traffic is in T town...

Last weekend was the first time I've been back to BR for a game since 2018 when Bama smoked LSU 0-26 against the Burrow era. Dang that was painful...but we did experience 2019! Nothing better

the people are nice at Alabama, treated my daughter with great care and concern, I have no issues with them - so my hatred isn't what it was, because my daughter has had a story book experience at Alabama- she loves it there. The friendships she has is amazing. Been to the Rosebowl, the whole nine yards...a great ride!

She has a 4.0 and already has a great job lined up...so I can't be more happy for her...

but I love LSU deeply and it hurts losing any game but losing to Alabama is different. I am just sick of seeing you guys have all the joy especially on our home feild. (stadium cleared out)...

we're not okay with it, we hated seeing Nick have all that success at Alabama..

The pain runs deep, ...some of the folk at Alabama talk a lot junk towards LSU, Lane, Miles, O, kelly, online ... and I keep waiting for the day, Alabama suffers like most fanbases have to suffer...

Your QB is a stud and you will be really good while he is there...so we don't like that either :lol:

Since 1971, Alabama holds a 21–5–1 record against LSU in games played at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge.


That's total domination and unacceptable

:banghead:

But they had two of the greatest coaches of all time in our lifetime

so there is that!

Emotional rant

I was there my friend

I feel your pain

I’m 0-7 going to Bama vs LSU games

I’ve never tasted glory only heartbreak in TS

I was at the UF vs LSU game where Guice was stuffed on the goal line


I have to go back to 02 I think it was we beat OM barely

Seen a couple of road wins…

We live in NC…
quote:

There was no committee in 2011.


Whatever it was

The result forced many changes because nobody wanted to see that game played except Alabama fans
quote:

There is no such thing as a curse.


We’ve had plenty of talent to make it more 50/50 in the last 20 years

Now it’s in our head they are tougher to beat than they actually are

What is this shite?


exactly

Fans are fans

winning cures all

Losing to Bama after being favored for the first time 19 years stings big time
9-6 game

we go undefeated that year winning the SEC against UGA while they (Bama) sits at home watching and hoping for another team to lose their conference championship so they get back in the conversation.

It felt like they were unpunished for losing at home to LSU in the era of only the two best to get to play in this game...it felt like a bye they had not earned on the feild against LSU.

The committee choose Alabama over OSU that year

Nick had a month to get them healthy, and motivated for revenge. He was too good and had too much talent in that situation.

Since that year, Alabama has won 13 of the last 15 or is it 14 of 16? meetings??????????

The new rotation will do us some good...

I am 0-7 attending LSU Bama games. It hurts

Never say never, but I will never go another LSU Bama game.

I'm gonna be that guy. I gotta say, I don't want Sam back next year.


I talked to a few die hard season ticket holders, (before the game)...they all said they didn't really like Sam

I just kind of didn't know what to say, at the time Sam was leading the SEC is passing Stats

so, what the heck

Yes the 2nd QTR pick was horrible, but dang he's a talented QB who can run from trouble

the OL needs new bodies....Sam gets pressure too quickly and his balls get knocked down because the OL isn't blocking these people correctly
Last home game, senior night, If he can go, he's playing
quote:

They lost 26-10 to Tennessee.

This isn’t a saban Bama team

Regardless, in-game coaching decisions turned what could have been a late fourth quarter game into a beat down


They looked like the best team in CFB until the injuries piled up

they got several key guys back for this game

we still went up and down the feild and were at home

no excuse to not win this game :banghead:
