I was sitting in the end zone and it wasn’t anywhere close to even. Maybe 80/20 UGA. That said, they started the exodus before the end of the 3rd. It was all tigers at the end.

I’m guessing it’s 40/40/20 for the CFP. The last 20 is neutral, just there for the game.

I sat in 218 Mezzine.

I could see both upper decks. Both end zones. And both side lines. It was 70/30 or 80/20 UGA.

The SEC title game in 2011 was 70/30 UGA

I was at the 2011 game as well. Both of them were UGA domination. But last night was bad.

It was also pretty damn loud our first series on offense.

I was shocked how early they left and how many left.

Their last stragglers left immediately after their TD in my section.

I’m hoping for a good fan showing in Atlanta. We traveled very poorly to the Fiesta Bowl last year. The excuse a lot of fans gave was cost. Of the two semifinal sites, Atlanta benefits us best. If people can’t be bothered to go back in 3 weeks to support the team, then they aren’t real fans.

Sat in 325 and only saw red. It was unbelievably favored by UGA

I fully expected us to be outnumbered. The damn game was in Georgia, and their campus is only an hour away. What I wasn’t prepared for was the ridiculous amount of UGA fans in the LSU sections where tickets were part of the allotment given to season ticket holders.

Not real fans?

Some people don't have the resources to pay for last minute travel. I paid $100 for a downtown hotel this weekend. On the 28th, that same hotel is in the $600 and way up range.

Some people don't want to change their holiday plans. I'm going to be in the Caribbean. I should cancel a trip and lose the money I paid into it to attend the Peach Bowl in person?????

Saying people are not true fans is BS and you're full of it.

LSU fans take over Omaha for baseball. Now we have a national championship caliber football program with the Heisman winner and some fans make excuses for not going. This Tiger team is going to win the national championship and deserves all our support

Stay in the suburbs. Much cheaper.

You could tell in the 4 th that we had more fans there than people thought - at least 30% and probably 35%. I think LSU OU will be 60/40 us

Most are going to hold out with hopes of the championship game in NOLA so we won’t have a numbers edge, however after the same shite year in year out in the playoffs for OU I don’t think they travel that well either... and at 12 hours not as easy of a drive as BR.

I'll be there for the Peach Bowl. My dad has also expressed interest in going, he went to UT, but I suppose he's more interested in spending time with me than going to the Gator Bowl, I'm not complaining.

More LSU fans show up for Omaha than they do Atlanta.

OU fans travel very well. Atlanta isn't a terrible trip for them.

I'd expect 70/30 LSU/OU.

But we are much more familiar with the field, accomodations, logistics, locker room, etc. That's part of 'home field'.

But we'll have the crowd. OU will represent well, they always do.
