re: Does anyone here use wristbands for your tailgates?

I would like to reiterate that in a perfect world it would be rocking and free. But the reality is there is no tailgate without the friends of friends paying a cover charge. One day after college and I'm able to afford that, that'll be great. But right now it just has to happen because the other option is no tailgate. And that is not a viable option. Also I take exception to any comparison to us being like Oxford. We are a great group of guys (and ladies) and we get wild on Saturdays. Our proudest signature item of our tailgate is our massive "Geaux to Hell Ole Miss" banner we break out every other year.

Again im not trying to bust your balls as others have or will do on this sight, just simply giving you a perspective from a fellow Tiger currently in school and that has literally dealt with every type of tailgate atmosphere, and dealt with problems 10X larger than yours (its a pain in the arse ) wristbands will cause more issues than you know.

Also there is a tailgate without the friends of friends , you hundreds/thousands do it every gameday. Im not filthy rich, money is usually something almost every kid our age thinks about, but just trying to be helpful, get with your group of tight knit friends or people in your major, decide on what kind of tailgate you want, idk but judging by your age and the problems you guys are having maybe moving locations , but lastly and again simply the way I was raised, anyone that loves the P&G are welcome at my tent, and especially those that come and visit even if they root against our tigers. Again with fraternity and stuff its an obligation, not a choice, but if one beer, or one burger is given away (yeah I know it can turn into a lot if everybody gets one) its tailgating.

Also I love our tailgating experience compared to Oxford's, I went to hs in MS have enough friends it feels like a second school when I visit, I was merely pointing out at tailgating spots that are more uptight, wristbands are more common. Would not trade LSU's for any in the country. Personally feel, and some may argue, we have an incredible mix of all ages, socio-economic backgrounds, and the state as a whole, that come together. Other places around the country are not like this.
