    So says the villians, and even our buddy cadillacattack agrees.

    Don't have the website but I agree it has to be a myth. Since 1983, LSU is 86-49-2 at home. During that same time period, Auburn is 110-28-3 and Tennessee is 111-25-4.

    I went but I was about as high as you could be in the stadium. It was still very loud and almost insane. LSU does a good job of keeping the crowd loud....of course there was a helluva lot for them to cheer about.

    When things are going well for us, Jordan Hare is as loud as Tiger Stadium, but LSU is probably more consistently loud than Auburn. I've been to Tiger Stadium the last 2 times we played there, and that's about what I gathered.

    I'm no mathematician, but even I can multiply and divide. The fact are clear – the Tigers are a slightly above average team at home. When you judge LSU against the Vanderbilts and Mississippi States of the world, I suppose the Tigers do have a home field advantage. But when compared to Tennessee, Auburn, Florida, Alabama, Georgia or even Ole Miss, LSU might as well play all its games at a neutral site.

    The Tigers went 35-21 in home night games in the 1990's. Not too scary.

    I try, I try. I think one thing we can all agree on is a hatred for the corndogs. If that's the tie that binds, then so be it.

    Here's a great quote about Tiger Stadium, although you don't necessarily need to turn your speakers up.

    "You've only beaten us once there since 1969, and even then it was by 2 points to a 3-8 team. Tiger Stadium is a filthy dump." -- me

    The only thing scary about playing at LSU, is they way the fans treat the visting team's fans. Now that is down right scary!

    JH is louder than tiger stadium for our 'rivalry' games.

    I was there last year, and in 2001, 1997, 1995, 1993. The loudest I've ever heard ts was in 1997. But just a few minutes later, that night was also the quietest I've heard ts.

    I was there, on the 45 yard line. I'll agree that the LSU fans were loud at the beginning, but I got the impression that everyone got bored by the second half (I know I was!) The 1997 game was much louder, because it was a much more exciting game.

    Well-roundedness is mediocrity induced by pseudo-intellectuals.

    My seats were on the 15 about half way up the lower section for this past game. I didn't feel the noise level in BR was as loud as the noise at the UT-AU game, nor was it as loud as previous games I attended in BR, including the earthquake game (naturally) or the game 2 years ago.

    Night games in general are more intimidating to opposing fans, but not necessarily to the teams on the field. The lighting at BR is IMHO less than average, certainly not in the same league with Neyland or J-H.

    Harder on passing teams and it's also harder to spot those interior holding calls

    I read it the other day. They are just hoping it's a myth, and for a fanbase that says we are stupid to call them a big rival, there sure are a ton of threads started by them about LSU. We have almost as many threads on their boards as Bama.

    I love when opposing fans call tiger stadium a “dump”. It is a little run down and it is being renovated but the whole cache of the place is that it’s been there since the freakin 20’s. It’s called history, tradition. It’s the Yankee Stadium of college football. You can keep the shiny “papa john” stadiums that they built last week. Gimme the Valley.

    If noise levels in Tiger Stadium are all they have to hang their hats on...

    Must be a slow day in "the loveliest village on The Plain".

    It's called the jealous stepchild mentality. The last time they beat us at home was 99. How bad were we that year? The 90's in general were really bad years. I noticed one thing. Auburn is really good at keeping their heads in the past and what was. I mean how many NC's have they won in the past 15 years?

    As far as keeping your heads in the past, bama should be keeping their mouths shut. They cling to the Bryant Dynasty like drowning people to a two by four.

    The mere fact that they're spending their time posting about the sound level in Tiger Stadium as opposed to the sound level in Jordan Hare speaks volumes (pun intended).

    Tiger Stadium is THE measuring stick for hostile environments.

    Deal with it, Spinach Dippers.

    P.S. Shouldn't they have more important issues to deal with anyhow? Did I or did I not read about multiple resignations/firings within their institution over the last few days? All they got left is Tubberville and it's not for certain that they even want him, is it?

    Jealousy is a funny thing...

    I guess the tremor never occured either when we beat AU in the earthquake game? :shock: :D :champs:
