LSU fans don’t travel as well in the post season as people say they do. I hope the peach bowl is a different story

Been to a few Alabama bowl games and they travel very well

OU travels well. I’ll bet it’s 60/40 LSU.

Our fans used to travel better than anyone. Not so much anymore. You’d think that we’d pack the place since this is such a special year, but there’s always some excuse. I can understand not wanting to pay for tickets to a shite bowl game, but this is our first playoff game. Something we’ve never done before. I’m not gonna miss out.

They'll travel, for sure, but it'd be a crime if it was 50/50.

this- hell we nearly get outnumbered in the Dome for National Championship games. What’s sad is we NEVER dominate attendance in NOLA like UGA does Atl. I was in NOLA for the 2003 NC game against OU and it was probably 60/40

It's true. When UGA plays in Atlanta, the place is always at least 70-80% Dawg fans. When we play in NOLA, we're lucky to get a 60% advantage. I guess it's a sign of the times. I used to think that Tiger fans were spoiled by success, but we really haven't been nationally relevant since 2011. You'd think our fan base would be hungry and would literally gobble up every ticket they can find. Instead they unload tickets in droves to the highest bidder, regardless of whether they are Tiger fans or not. It's a real shame.

I expect the fan ratio at the Peach Bowl will be about 50/50, maybe 60/40 in favor of OU. The Sooners will travel.
