LSU student Newspaper GTHOM...

[fishwater99]

I went to watch Ole Miss get play LSU this weekend with my Rebel wife. First time back there in years, the atmosphere there was awesome, makes me a little jealous..
So I picked up this student newspaper, what would happen if this was the Reflector?

They've done that every year for decades, right?

I bet the atmosphere wasn't awesome for Jacksonville State or even our game.

Winning and excitement makes everything more fun.

True, I guess it makes a difference when you have 100K people in the stands.

Our atmosphere can be great like it was in 14 and 15. I have a feeling HC won't be very well attended this weekend..

I've been to several LSU games over the years as a neutral observer with LSU friends and acquaintances, both at times when they were good and bad. The atmosphere for the USM game was as dead as I have ever seen it. The stadium was maybe 3/4 full at the most, and many left at half when the game was 10-10, before the inevitable happened. There was nothing awesome about it.

Well it was their Super Bowl.**

Not sure they need the comma before "Ole". I wouldn't use one ... where are our English majors?

It may not be necessary, especially for a headline, but it is correct.

Caveat: I didn't complete my BA in English & the AP guidelines for Journalism, in the brief stints I've had as a reporter/writer (including The Reflector), seemed pedantic & redundant. If one can write, then amid vs amidst needn't have a rule; the choice should be the writer's.

The CL uses Nashville guidelines for headlines.**
