He had on an LSU t-shirt at the grocery this morning and a Mountaineer fan approached him and they began chatting about the game this fall in Morgantown. He said the guy really enjoyed his time in Baton Rouge and loved the food, atmosphere, etc.

The guy then begins talking about his friend that owns a restaurant/bar not far from the stadium and how he has been briefed on purchasing more liquor than usual for the LSU fans. My buddy was basically like "whatever he normally orders,multiply it by 30." He said the guy started smiling and laughed, and my buddy was like "no, really", and the guy was like oh shite.

These WVU businesses have no clue about the alcohol consumption headed their way....

The morning after the Cotton Bowl we went to eat breakfast at the restaurant that had hosted the LSU pregame party. The waitress said the place was still in shock from the massive numbers of LSU fans.
She said they could have had a circus tent outside and still not had enough room. She went on to say what great tippers LSU fans were. Even the big cowboy games didnt come close to the LSU fans turn out.

For what it's worth, liquor stores are few and far between here. If you are looking for more than just beer you have to go to a BF's. The best to go to is probably right off the interstate 68 towards Cumberland, exit 7 not hwy 7.. There's a shopping cent with an outback, lowes, a grocer, and a OK cigar shop.

That's a large one on Don Knotts blvd but it's a bit harder to get too and there is much more traffic.

Somebody needs to tell these people to call Blacksburg, VA, and ask them what happened when the town ran dry.

I had friends go to the Washington game and two of the three bars they attended ran out of beer.

When I flew up to the Washington game in 2009 I heard a similar thing. I talked to a group of guys that said on their flight up, the plane was almost exclusively heavy drinking LSU fans. The flight attendants had to make an announcement at some point mid air to notify everyone on board that all the alcohol had been consumed.
Granted who really knows how stocked up that flight was to begin with...
