+1. Why should anyone care about Wake Forest?
Yes. The only school Tulane fans want to see us play is LSU. And somehow we’ve managed to screw that up.

I brought 3 ppl. 2 left at halftime because they said the game was boring and it was too hot. Same reason I’ve gotten from most of the ppl I’ve brought. I don’t have the answer to fix that. It was a very boring game and it was hot. Move back to the Dome? Do something different on offense? Who knows. I know I have tried since we opened to get anyone to come to these games and haven’t been able to get a single soul to come back for a second game.
I had an friend that's an LSU fan with me at the game. He's used to sitting outside and he felt the weather was just fine, as did I. You're just looking to complain if you thought it was hot on Thursday night. It was actually pretty comfortable.

There's a reason we built a Domed Stadium in this city.
Same thing we were saying and have said at just about every September game I’ve brought people to.

Well I didn’t leave, but it’s been a constant complaint from everyone I have ever brought during September. So you can have your win in the argument, but people constantly leave because of the heat and mugginess. They really leave mostly because they are bored and the atmosphere is not exciting. One of the guys I was with had his shirt soaked in sweat. Maybe he needs to lose weight.

It was humid, yes, but not overly so for an August evening. If he's from here, he knows that it was nothing unusual. But that's different from hot. Ga Tech in 2014 was hot. Army last year was hot. I'll bet that person would have had no problem sitting in Tiger Stadium Thursday night in similar conditions. If not, then the real complaint is the product, not the weather conditions.

That was the only time in my life where I had to leave my seat while watching a game to go into the shade and cool off. I'm glad I realized it when I did because I was getting dizzy on my way down the steps. I may well have passed out had I remained in my seat.

Yeah, I'm old. (And fat.)
God Bless Everyone!

I sure wish we had a dome to play in..but then again some schools just do have the $$$$ to build one

Was the food and service any better for game two than game one?

They ran out of bourbon in the 2nd quarter. There’s two reasons to drink. Either we are winning or losing. Those are the two reasons
