Am I supposed to be impressed that LSU can "pack" 102K+ drunks into a such a tiny and inadequate stadium and their "deaf valley" moniker is for the THIRD loudest college stadium? Please don't tell me that the professional sports in the Baton Rouge area take away from interest in LSU football. Sheesh, they don't even have a so called "flag ship" rival university in the state. Their end of regular season "rvial" is Texas A&M.
Two great states in two great cities. Two great PUBLIC universities. Two outstanding coaching staffs. Two remarkable teams, both with remarkable and unique athletic talents.
Sounds like both teams are blessed to be playing the other and still standing at the end of a long season - with all other teams sitting at home watching.
