LSU#2fan, we are 6th for a simple reason: "From the outside looking in, you can't understand it. And from the inside looking out, you can't explain it."

PS: who is LSU#1Fan?

LSU Fan gave their opinions and it wasn't like they were bashing A&M. Most of the schools above us are some of the best in the country.
I do hope, LSU Fan, that you decide to come back to College Station so that we can show you a better time. The town is definitely not the prettiest, but our fans our great and Kyle field is one heck of a game day experience. I'll be in Baton Rouge for the game this year, so I'm looking forward to seeing how it is there. Hopefully I don't get heckled too much for wearing my maroon because I will indeed be wearing it, face sticker and all.
quote:
LSU- love pre game and tailgating. Family is also there. Fans are convinced you have to be drunk and obnoxious to have a good time. Sad really. Parking a real issue. Good seats are easy to find after half because thousands of people leave early.
quote:That's all they are talking about on Tigerdroppings this week--how many empty seats there were for Florida, particularly in the second half.
What game did you go to where people left early? It happens versus Kent St., Towson, etc..., but not typically for an SEC game.

You just can't take criticism can you? LSU isn't that great of an experience.

Did he enjoy the empty seats in the second half?

LSU fan #2. I am from Baton Rouge so I have been tu a ton of games but my last two were Auburn and TN inthinkg 10 and 11' possibly. For Auburn, the. Tigers were down at halftime as I recall and an entire group of about 6 packed their stuff and left Before the 3rd quarter. After halftime I just watched as property slowly started leaving and by the time the 4th quarter started I could count entire rows of empty seats. Not as bad for TN but by the 4th quarter we could freely move around to other seats.
My brother still goes to lots of LSU games and said it gets worse every year with all the traffic issues and of course Tigers that think tailgating is more important than the game.
quote:
I have been to a bunch of away games in the SEC, here are my rankings of the away game experiences:
1. Florida - Fans are incredibly rude and tried to fight us, which was the downside. Stadium was really cool and loud. Bar scene is pretty awesome.
2. Bama - Really nice campus. Tailgating is a lot of fun. Great atmosphere.
3. Auburn - Really nice people and campus. Hard to find a place close to stay, but campus is easy to navigate. Fun environment.
4. Ole Miss - Small stadium, but nice campus. I have been to Oxford a bunch, and always enjoy it. Grove is overrated though.
5. Tennessee - I didn't get to tailgate on a boat, so maybe that would have influenced my rankings. Stadium is kind of ugly. Knoxville is really nice though.
6. Texas A&M - Ugly campus. People were kind of odd. Bar scene is really nice and the best thing about it. I wasn't impressed with the stadium experience.
I really want to go to Athens. I can't this year because I have a prior commitment next weekend. I don't care to go to Arkansas or Mississippi St.
quote:
You have not been to Tennessee in a while. Since our renovation it was voted the best college football stadium in the country by several publication.
So give Neyland another try. We've had a major face lift.
My personal opinion is Auburn. Great place.
quote:
I don't see A&M surpassing LSU. Not going to happen the way LSU recruits. Manziel will be gone after this year, and Sumlin will leave for the NFL soon.
quote:
This guy is such a obvious dweeb.
quote:
And I love the "we aren't going anywhere!" line from a team that's never had remotely the same level of success they've just had the past decade, and who sucked before then. Nobody EVER thinks they're going to fall off...until they do. It's inevitable.
quote:
Do you really not see the incredible irony here? Your logic is that when a team loses a great player, they're screwed. Yet you refer to recruiting as the backbone of perpetuating success, I.e., replacing great players. If that weren't contradictory enough, we're recruiting better than you are.
quote:
And your "Sumlin will leave for the NFL soon" bit is equally hilarious. Based on....based on....? Exactly. Nothing. You heard people saying he might, and it's become a fact in your pea brain. What evidence can you point to that even remotely suggests that he would do so? Anything? No. Zero
quote:
Add to that, even if he does leave for the NFL, how do you know we wouldn't hire another successful coach to replace him? Isn't there a school that did that several years back? Their head coach left for the NFL and the guy they hired to replace him continued to be very successful? Who was that again?
quote:
anyone that follows recruiting knows that LSU has some silent commits from top guys and will close with a top 3 class
quote:
OK - I will relay a funny story to you. One of my son's best friends from high school is in the Honors Petroleum Engineering program at LSU. He likes to affectionately say it is fun being "the smartest kid on campus". He is kind of amazed and pleased at how easy the academic curriculum and ability to receive high grades are there. He was only a slightly above average student in a suburban Houston high school. He was NOT in the Top 10% of his HS class.
quote:
When in doubt play the "silent commits" card.
It's quite convincing.

Average ACT score at Texas A&M is only 2 points higher than at LSU.

No doubt here, when LSU locks up Dupre, Fournette, Noil, Willis, and a few others, LSU will have a top 3 class, maybe #1.
quote:
I appreciate your efforts in standing up for LSU, but academically, they're not even close. And it's foolish to automatically assume that any coach, even Saban, will pull in that many good players. Come on.
quote:
Not assuming. I am going off of reliable info from people in the know.
quote:
Look at this tool. The logic completely changes when it doesn't fit his argument
quote:
Close ACT average scores matter when trying to argue that LSU is as good as A&M academically, but in recruiting, it's totally different.
quote:
The guy states that Sumlin IS going to the NFL at season's end, and then admits it's speculation while citing the lamest points of "evidence" possible.
quote:
He then ASSURES we're destined to fall after Manziel and/or Sumlin are gone, citing other schools losing great players, yet when his own school actually had a coach dump them for the NFL, it's unlikely that that's would happen to us.
quote:
All this despite us having a lot more money, better facilities, and just as if not more of a fertile recruiting territory as his school.
quote:
Your lack of ability to even realize how much you're moving the goalposts to try and make your argument are exactly why people are laughing at you.
quote:
What a complete and total dunce. You wear jerseys to games, don't you? I bet you're about as athletic as a gallon of whole milk.
quote:
I never "assured" anything. The difference between LSU when Saban left and if Manziel/Sumlin leave is that LSU's success wasn't tied so much to one player.
quote:
You've dominated WHO? That's my point- you're not smart enough to even realize how bad your arguments are. You have multiple premises that change repeatedly based on what you're arguing. It takes someone who isn't very intelligent to be as convinced as you are-with the garbage you've posted-that they've "dominated" anyone.
quote:
Let me help you out, as someone who makes a living pointing out the holes in others' arguments: Don't state a difference between A's situations and B's situation followed immediately by a conclusion that the results of each will then necessarily be different. That's not supporting your argument; that's simply pointing out a difference that exists. Without more, that doesn't support your conclusion of different results. That's a massive gaping hole in your logical chain that makes you look stupid to people smart enough to see it.
quote:
- You stated that I must wear jerseys to games. I pointed out that I never have.

7thGenTexan in another Sec Country thread, "LSU2 has pretty much owned this thread."
I am not the one who said that I "dominated" or owned a thread on here.
I have never changed my arguments. When people bring up weak points, I deliver facts and logical thinking to disprove them. I have never wavered in my overall stance regarding anything on here.
When people try to call me out or LSU out for different things, I provide evidence to prove them wrong. Do you want me just to make the same post each time?
So far you have:
- Stated that LSU "sucked before the past decade." I pointed out a few different pockets of success in the program's history before the last decade
- You stated that A&M is recruiting better than LSU. I showed recent recruiting rankings to prove that wrong.
- You pointed out how LSU continued success when we changed coaches from Saban to Miles. I mentioned some schools that it hasn't worked out for.
- You stated that I must wear jerseys to games. I pointed out that I never have.
- You stated that I have no athletic ability. I pointed out that I played high school sports at a school with a rich history in athletics.

If that is your career, than you must not be very good at it based on what you have attempted to do on here.
You keep claiming that I have changed my argument, moved the goalposts, contradicted myself, etc..., but haven't given one solid instance where I have actually done it. You can claim something all day long, but with no proof it is meaningless.
