    Having some second thoughts after tonight's miraculous comeback?

    I live in Birmingham and I rarely get to see the Tigers in person. If I do, it costs me a small fortune. Win or lose, my butt is in the seat until the clock hits 00:00. Period! I do not understand why you spend a fortune on season tickets (after having the privilege to be lucky enough to have them) and then leave at halftime!

    I would give an arm and a leg to be able to attend every LSU home game like most of you can and what do you do...bail on your team at the half because they are losing.

    Wake up people...every game won't be a cake walk. Be thankful for what you have and support your team win or lose. Novel thought, but what about applauding them in victory or defeat as well.

    Geaux Tigers!!!

    We left early for the first time. My wife was freezing there and the game of course was going terribly. Halftime is when we left. Would I like to have been there for the comeback? Of course. Do I feel bad for leaving? A little but my wife is sleeping comfortably here at home.

    VERY proud of the team for the victory. Hopefully it is a turning point in Lee's young career as LSU's qb!

    I was a bit shocked to see the stadium a 1/3+ full beginning the second half but you just gotta have faith that LSU is a second half team. They always adjust well and although this looked like a train wreck ending the first half, you just gotta have faith, even just a little. Hope this lesson teaches them to think better of it next time.

    Yep, I was watching the game at Rio Grande on Roswell Rd. in Atlanta (great place to watch if you're a Tiger fan btw) and most of the fans left around half time. Those of us that stayed got more hammered and vocal as the game wore on. I'm damn proud of our guys for hanging in there and turning in a historic comeback.

    We have a lot to be proud of in that we didn't give up. I don't care who we played, that was one hell of a 2nd half performance.

    Not too bad temp wise, mid 40's. There was a constant wind all day though, 15mph or so. Lets just say tailgating canopies took a serious beating during the day and it was no different during the game.
