Cut 7 (10) “attendance records”
The report shows the SEC as a whole put five teams in the top 10, which would make it the most valuable conference averaging $523 million per team. Brewer says he also took into account the risk of fans switching to another team, so it’s not really surprising that the SEC ranked so high…:
Brewer says, unlike the NFL, college football ratings have not seen declines over the last year; and they are actually near all-time highs. Though he looked at these numbers from last year, he doesn’t predict LSU’s football program being any less valuable if they have a losing season in 2017. He says when a fan base is mad, it’s good because it means they care…:

The LSU Tigers take on No. 21 Florida tomorrow on the road, and not many people are giving The Bayou Bengals much of a chance in the Swamp. Associate Tiger Rag Editor James Moran says if LSU wants to start winning games, they are going to have to start playing a lot better. He says there are a lot of positives..:
Cut 16 (20) “defines this game”
This is the game that was supposed to be played in Baton Rouge, but Hurricane Matthew forced the 2016 contest to be moved from Gainesville. But Moran says after losing to Troy in Death Valley last weekend, it might not be a bad thing for LSU to take a road trip. But he says on the offensive side of the ball, you’ve got to see some sort of progress from the Tigers…:
Kickoff is at 2:30pm on CBS. Coach O said that Derrius Guice is probably going to play tomorrow afternoon. Moran says the offense really needs to see Guice back to his old self, and running at full speed…:
