Ive listened to this plenty of times but decided to just randomly listen to it again and gives me chills. I have this feeling of butterflies in my gut just remembering this. And how lucky we are to live this every saturday.

Made me sad we still have to wait so long to hear the roars again. We are lucky to be tiger fans and the future is bright.

People say BR has no culture but LSU is BR's culture, and it is pretty rich

BR really doesn't have any culture, especially compared to New Orleans or Lafayette. Without LSU, this place would be unfathomably miserable.

I just felt like i should post this for the person that somehow maybe hasnt seen it, but to also just remind people of the magic that Death Valley is on a saturday night


not another school I'd want to cheer for




I really wanted to write up something big about the magic of the place but then realized im leaving work in 10 mins so I wasnt going to

One day I will write down my perspective of growing up an LSU fan and the love and passion that comes with it.... but not today, time to go get hammered

I'll never understand why people feel the need to seperate Baton Rouge and LSU. They are the same place...

LSU and the culture that surrounds it attracts a hundred thousand people 8 times a year. Plenty more come in for other reasons.

They come to Baton Rouge for the culture of Baton Rouge and LSU. LSU is the heart of Baton Rouge. You cannot separate out the heart from the body...

That was great to listen to. Haven't heard it since it happened.

Thanks...I had heard SVP had great things to say about his experience but had never heard it.

And yes...being there and watching that last drive was what I imagine have a knife slowly driven into your abdomen would feel like. Except thankfully with the knife, you'd end up dying and not have to think about it anymore.

But...without that type of stuff, the highs would not be as high...so as much as it sucked it's part of it. Bring on 2013.

6/7 Saturdays a year =/= every Saturday. You also need to factor in that the crowd only gets up for 2 or 3 of those 6 Saturdays. So yeah, every Saturday.
