Some noticeable changes to the walk down victory hill.

-At the front were all former Tigers of all ages. Craig Steltz, Corrie Webster, Jalen Mills, etc.

-The former players carried a banner that said, "Once a Tiger. Always a Tiger."

-Coach O had the audio department set up large speakers in the middle of the street for when the team walks down. He said he wants music playing as the team walks to the stadium.

-The first song they played when Coach O started the walk was "Born in the Bayou."

-Then it was just a variety of pump up music to get the players hyped. Anything from "I got the keys" to "Welcome to the Jungle."

-Another thing I noticed was that Coach O walked in the middle of all the players. He wasn't out in front of them. Just blended in with the other players and was holding his hand up in the "L" formation for Louisiana.

Coach O just looked ecstatic like a kid in a candy store. The players looked more amped up and hyped than normal. It was a great feeling.

I haven't seemed the players or atmosphere that pumped in a while!

I noticed this too. He isn't the team, he's part of it and wants to honor the Tigers. The man is an LSU man through and through. Mad respect whatever the outcome is. I think he's good for the business though.

The players and coaches getting off the buses looked very intense to me. I was standing right by the bus with the defensive players and Aranda looked like he was getting the troops ready for battle against the Wehrmacht in WWII.

That must have been at the bottom of the hill, because we were banging Flocka at the top of the hill

coach O is going to make it really really really hard to not give him the shot full time.

Yep, I was right by it too. DA has that look that commands respect without saying a word

We were right by the locker room entrance and no music could be heard. Lol. But it was very cool to see the former players walking and then they lined up and high five and hugged the current players.

I too noticed Coach O in the middle rather than the front.

NO...I was standing a few feet from the thing when they wheeled it in... the first song was some EDM, bass-thumping rap crap. The second song was more rap crap....

They didn't play "Born On The Bayou" - ever. (Unless it was a horrible 're-re-re-remix; that was unrecognizable)

We were right by there also and heard music but don't really recall which song.

Saw the big speaker in the middle of the street and heard music all the way till a few minutes after the team got into the locker room.

It was moved for the band to come down

Then you are an idiot or need to get some new batteries for your hearing aid!

For all of us with normal hearing, it was awesome!

I'm sure you left around half time anyway to beat the traffic and get in bed so no worries. The music wasn't for your type. ????

I'm not a rap fan exactly, but if LF and Jamal Adams like it, who gives a frick. Those guys are not interested in the fricking Eagles. Maybe some Creedence...
