Damn it, I need to know for sure.

My 5 year old is a die hard, but that scared the hell out of him ( and me for a second), we were sitting in the west upper deck and never saw it coming. The next game he would not even look at the field and was scared the jets were coming, we stayed 5 minutes, when normally he wants to stay the whole game and gets mad if we dont go for some reason.

I have promised him that the jets only came for the first game and will not be back. I need to find out for sure.

I went to the blue angels practice this summer out in pensecola, i don't think anything makes my skin crawl more than seeing a jet fly by you about 100 yards away going 500mph

I just heard some fly over my house a few minutes ago. Maybe there won't be a flyover at LSU, could be at southern or something


maybe croom paid them to take pictures of the team's formations

Didn't one of the pilots from the last flyover post on here? I forgot what his name was, but he was from Mandeville. I would think he could find out if they were doing a flyover or not.

I can see a 2 yr old getting scared and not comprehending. But, a 5 year old boy? Geez, explain it to him.

On that note, I wonder if they will be able to do something good for the UGA game, if not the Bama game.

I think we can do better than 2 uneven fighters roaring in 30 seconds late (and yes, I am aware of why that happened)

Do what I do, during the national anthem for a night game I point up to the black empty sky and say "look, a stealth jet flyover". I can usually get several people to crane their necks and point.

Would be fricking awesome if they can ever get a KC-10/-135 for a game, instead of just a fighter.

Or maybe some Warthogs...I see them flying around the interstate sometimes.
