Why don't you ask mississippi state how loud the LSU stadium was when they were there?!
I bet it's a completely different story!!
Ole Miss and LSU are a very serious rivalry going back many years. The games of the late '50s through early '60s were some of the most intense collegiate games ever. LSU has pulled well ahead in the rivalry, but the hate is still there from both sides. The atmosphere last night was very much like old times. Ole Miss has wrecked LSU's seasons quite a few times. LSU had their turn last night.
Mississippi State and LSU, on the other hand, has never had near the fierceness of LSU and Ole Miss. The crowd just wasn't able to get into it earlier this season at Tiger Stadium. LSU fans thought MSU would present a challenge, but that an LSU victory was pretty much inevitable. Therefore, the intensity just wasn't there.
If the State program stays strong like it is this year, Tiger Stadium will be full and revved up for them in 2016.
