re: Tailgate Advice - Out of towners - UF vs LSU - Bachelor Party

Sorry for the late update here - thanks for the friendly nudge Helmethead

I cannot thank all of you enough for the great advice! It was truly a weekend for the record books.

Went out to The Chimes on Friday and had some great food and drinks upstairs and got to watch the Aztec basketball game. Unfortunately we blew it against BYU but really enjoyed the vibes.

Saturday was incredible. Got dropped off at the parade grounds with a rolling cooler with about 80 beers/seltzers and just started cruising the campus.

As recommended, most of us donned the red and black of SDSU and were lucky enough to run into a couple of people from San Diego who were tailgating, a few fans of SDSU from their time at the final 4, and plenty of legit tailgates, the likes of which we do not see in Southern California. We got probably 6 or 7 people who recognized my post

Everyone we ran into was so hospitable offering us drinks, food, and advice for what to do next.

Helmethead and his wife were no exception. The true epitome of southern hospitality. My buddy, who is pescetarian, appreciated the fried fish and the mushrooms were incredible! Thank you so much for welcoming in our group and telling us all about your setup and the traditions at LSU.

It was great learning about how long people have been tailgating in particular locations and all the planning and preparation that go into it. I tip my hat to all of y'all for the dedication and execution.

We got to check out Mike the Tiger and saw the band and team march down Victory Hill.

We also enjoyed singing along to "neck" at every opportunity and I've had "Callin Baton Rouge" on repeat for the past 2 weeks.

Top all that off with one of the best performances by a QB in NCAA history and you have an amazing day.

I jokingly told my wife that I might forgo my SDSU season tickets and just throw that money towards coming out to LSU for a game every year.

Thanks again for all who responded and everyone who said whats up during our trip around campus. The bachelor had the time of his life and thanked me for being so prepared and I owe a lot of those tips to everyone here and this board in general.
