Because most LSU fans and at least some of the team don't care. What does LSU prove by beating Clemson? Not much.Been looking forward to this game actually. Not sure why you thought LSU wouldn't come to play.
LSU has played in Atlanta several times over the last few years in the Peach Bowl and the SEC championship game so no excitement there. LSU didn't sell out its tickets because many fans were ticked at the SEC Comissioner who sold them off into this game after he lobbied the Cotton to skip LSU and pick A&M ahead of LSU. There was already bad blood when Mike Silve managed to let Alabama drop Georgia off their schedule this year and next year in the crossover schedule during conference expansion.
Then throw in the fact LSU is the highest ranked team to play in a December bowl game - EVER. Just not a lot of excitement.
This is the first bowl game that either me or my dad won't be making since before I was born and I'm 42.....nobody in our suite went that I am aware of and normally it's 90% or more out of them.
