LSU Football

It's no secret that we are huge LSU fans! We love everything about LSU and LSU football! When we were in Shreveport over the Thanksgiving holiday we were able to drive down to Baton Rouge and watch the LSU vs Ole Miss game. There is so much tradition at LSU and for us it starts with the drive down...
First, right outside of Lafayette you will pass the Boudin shop, where we always stop for a snack!
Then you will drive over the swamp, literally!

This year we had dinner at Boutin's a Cajun restaurant.
 
Once you get to the campus you have to stop at Barnes and Noble where you can purchase anything imaginable with an LSU logo on it
Then we hurry and get a great spot on Victory Hill, where the magic begins!

First about 90 minutes before game time Les Miles and  the players will walk down the hill and into the locker room.

Followed by the cheerleaders
the dance line
the band, there is nothing like hearing the first sound of the fight song and everyone cheering
and every one's favorite, Mike the Tiger
After that we head into the stadium. You know they are going to play the same songs, "Callin' Baton Rouge", and "Louisiana Saturday Night" 
 
The "real" Mike The Tiger always makes his lap around Death Valley
Then, its game time! This year, we had amazing seats. They were so good I really didn't think they were the right seats!


There are no fans in the world like LSU fans! Everyone is family in there, all 90,000 people and we take our football very seriously!
This years game was intense and we came out on top for the victory.
We love going to football games, taking in all the sights and sounds and living the traditions!
