There are many remarkable statistical numbers in the LSU football record book.
But one of the hidden gems occurred during the worst years in the history of the program.
It's the fact that during the seven straight losing seasons the Tigers suffered starting with Mike Archer's final two years as coach in 1989 and 1990 and the four-year Curley Hallman disaster through 1994, LSU's attendance average hung in at 67,305 for home games in a then-Tiger Stadium that seated 78,000 to 80,000.
Why did fans keep showing up?
Guess it was like the Saints' faithful all those bleak decades.
