Does anyone have tickets they are selling for the LSU/Auburn game, or know of anyone who is? I'm from out of town and looking for 2 tix! #gigemtigers
You could try here: Ticket Office - TigerFan.com auburn is a highly sought after game so it might be tough; not sure of the possibility of finding some outside the stadium on gameday... though I do know that most of the games I have gone to in the past there were always *some* singles and doubles....
Al.com has retracted for now the CBS night game starring that glamorous and star studded cast from Tuscaloosa and that weeks glorious football fodder, the fighting muschamps. Looks like they're content to watch this weeks results.
Me too. I always have to work the day after Thanksgiving. So, I have to give up my tickets. And listen to the game on the firkin radio because we have no TV at work. Plus, there are none of my doctors there except for one hardazz who doesn't have a life. And he sends me one patient in eight hours. Sucks!!!! Sorry, rant off!!!!
Would they show Florida twice in a row? The problem is Auburn lost and that game isn't as sexy anymore. Then Arkansas likely losing to Bama, that game takes another big hit. At this point, I think they will take LSU/Florida and that will make the game a pick em game vs LSU with a 5-7 pt advantage. That sucks.
Might be a little slow, but how does CBS screwing over our kickoff time change the lines? I know historically it's not as much of an advantage b/c it's a day game, but does that alone really change the spread?
No, that's just the numbers I consider to be the reality of the situation. LSU is about 7 points worse playing during the day than at night. It's cost us way too many games, and against inferior opponents that had no business beating us. I think the worse case was Ole Miss beating us after our historic win over #1 Florida in 97.
The LSU teams of the last decade are in a different stratosphere than the '97 team. I think the nighttime mystic of Tiger Stadium is overblown. If we're a strong program, we're going to win a day game or a night game. Now, I understand the day games put a damper on tailgating, but it is what it is.
I looked back at our record of home games during the day and we're 13-6 since the Golden Era (2001 and on). That's not terrible, but it's nowhere near as good as our night record (50-4) during that same time. A lot of the home games that got moved to the middle of the day were against some of the better teams we faced, but there is no discounting the fact that this team doesn't have that same intensity and fire it has at night (and a lot of that is probably the difference in the crowd which the team really needs to feed off of).
