    Oh, okay, I got you. Sorry, misunderstood. Agree, that scenario would be a shit show.

    Not crowd size but ticket sales. Tiger fans leave early unless its a close game against a top 5 opponent; that's been covered ad nauseum. An empty seat doesn't necessarily mean an unsold ticket.

    I hesitate to call them Tiger fans. More like casual followers.

    Folks are allowed to form their own opinions, right or wrong. There is after all, a chance this can all go straight to hell. It is okay to prepare the mind for a faulty outcome to ease one's soul. If mom gets breast cancer and her fate is unknown, is it fair to consider the dire outcome whether it has been pronounced? Most will always make that consideration whether it is justified or not. So there's human nature and then there's being an LSU fan. It can be a total surprise that mom's cancer goes into total remission. Or it can get worse. Keeping a positive attitude will always be there, but planning for a sad day does not project the outcome, but rather, prepares the heart and mind.

    Making LSU great again will not be easy and the chosen path lends one to believe that it is in fact, the hardest way to get there. We all hope O can pull it off and if he does, hurray, in spite of hearing I told you so. If he doesn't, well, cancer is a bitch.

    Yeah, but I don’t think you make a fav son hire like Baby Huey w/o realizing ramifications of ending up in the crapper.
    Look at it this way . If BH goes full Hudson on us , Duke Alleva is gone for certain and it’s total clean house mode. In that case by 2020 the program will need a thorough enema.
    Maybe by then a passing game guru will have emerged as the new hire.

    But that’s my point. If this year WHO makes that decision?? They’re going to let Duke Alleva pick another dud this December?

    Fournette’s first game I think vs Texas State I left after he scored his first td- he did the Heisman pose. I think there was 8 minutes in 1st qtr. The ‘don’t leave early’ thing is toast. High def flat screens and crappy BR traffic buried that topic forever.

    We won two natties after Hudson. The sun and program will rise again.

    OK... I'll play along too... Having read all the bar napkins... Sure looks like us LSU fans are going to have one hell of a hang-over, but I'm too drunk to be sensible and having just found a napkin of my own, here's my own scribbling:
    Baby Huey's fairy god mother waves her magic wand and
    we all marvel at just a one loss regular season.

    And as long as this is a
    drunken dream by an LSU fan,
    after midnight, after the regular season...

    The slipper fits...

    LSU's only loss of the regular season
    is in overtime to the Crimson Tide
    which the tigers avenge in the play-offs.    ​

    I think there is a chance they look at Aranda.
