Re: WOW- LSU rounded up a whole 33,000 for their L-Day game....
I'm not trying to play devil's advocate but:
1) Final Four is just down the road
2) Their baseball team is playing now and it's a perennial power. And it's baseball's time of year.
3) that last game will stick with them awhile
4) they are not as fanatical as we are about college football - I don't mean that as a slambut IMHO only Nebraska is our rival on that front. Conveniently enough, Nebraska has as many pro football teams as Alabama.
5) fans of our team need to quit casting aspersions at other teams based upon segmented information. There are many schools that would love to have 33,000 fans at a meanngless scrimmage. The reason our 92K in 2007 made national news was because it was a new thing.
6) we have our own front-runner fans. I don't recall 92,000 people showing up at BDS in April 2001 when we had just hired Fran. Or what about 2000, when were coming off an SEC title & ranked third in the new poll?
I'm just saying a little perspective is in order here
