    I bet Tech will sell at least 7K more tix than UTSA for the LSU game. At $45 a pop, that's $315,000 in extra ticket revenue for LSU by playing Tech. And that's just ticket sales and doesn't include all the other revenue streams.

    It doesn't matter. It would be a sellout in BR even if they were playing "the little sisters of charity".

    It wasn't one of the times we played down there...plenty of empty seats. FWIW, every game they play in BR is a sellout. Tickets can easily be found for free for many of those games.

    Didn't realize that. Looking at their attendance figures, it looks like they come at least within 3K of a sellout regardless of opponent. But there are thousands upon thousands of empty seats for their non-conference games. I guess they have 10-20K fans who buy tickets for most of those non-conference games but then don't show up on game day. Last time we were down there the Tech fans just about outnumbered the LSU fans by the 4th quarter.

    Tech has been the only stepchild team in the state to sell it's allotment plus more tickets. Some are proud of that fact.

    In 2009 several LSU fans told me at the game how impressed they were with the size of the Louisiana Tech crowd. It was bigger than their other OOC opponents.

    Yeah, I couldn't even get tickets through Tech's allotment. I had to buy our tix on the secondary market to sit amongst the purple and yellow, and after the mass exodus of LSU fans after Tech took the lead going into the half, the Tech fans outnumbered the LSU fans in our section for the second half.

    How much do Tech fans contribute to L$U by buying tickets to the game?

    I guess about the same they do when they buy a ticket to a game to watch the Dogs in Birmingham, El Paso, Fayetteville, or Starkville, to name a hand full.

    It's perfect example of the reaction and often used by the "religious" to justify dishonesty...build up favors on the way out.

    Oh yeah, it fits the situation. But I'm not sure the Lord offered it as an example to emulate.

    Of course not. My point was that some use it to justify corruption.

    Of course Tommy could be accepting monetary favors right now. I'll give you (AD) a 10% cut if you take a 300K reduction in guarantee pay. Such amounts are a good bonus, and likely not going to be taxed
