The Louisiana State University Fighting Tigers have a tradition that is being violated by a television network, which is not being upheld. The tradition of Saturday Night in Death Valley is one that dates back to the Billy Cannon era in the early 1930's and is in danger of being corrupted because of greed and publicity. The followers of this petition will fight for upholding Saturday Night in Death Valley and demand that the LSU vs. Auburn game will be televised on a network that will allow the LSU football team to play at night. Every student, fan, alumni, supporter, athlete of LSU and otherwise represent the resistance against the demolition of this tradition in the 2011 football season.

One hundred signatures arrived this morning while I was staring at the latest broadcast schedule feeling completely defeated. It is exhausting to fight these networks for a piece of our history but seeing these names makes me realize I am not fighting alone.

The pressure to move kickoffs away from prime time is relentless but I am exhausted by the constant excuses about television contracts. People keep reaching out with their own memories of the stadium lights and it reminds me why I started this even when it feels like we are shouting into the void.

The feedback has been exhausting but I refuse to let this tradition fade away because of television contracts. We are almost at one hundred signatures so please send this link to anyone who cares about keeping our game under the lights.

Absolutely ridiculous. Nobody wants to bake in the sun at 11 am. Night games are the only way to play in Baton Rouge.

Death Valley is meant to be loud and dark. Saturday night is non negotiable. stop ruining the game for tv money.
