re: Thank You LSU...from a Gamecock fan

Glad you enjoyed the trip.

Just to give you a heads up based on experience from South La where we flood too often. IF you or friends had water damage in your homes don't just dry the floors and visible surfaces. Open up the walls and pull out and replace the insulation. Even after old insulation dries mold spores multiply and can cause serious sickness and hospitalization. Male adults and children especially susceptible for some reason.

Best of luck.

I lived in Columbia for a few years in the early 90s. 5 points was awesome. Great town

Wanted to echo the OP's comments. As an airline employee I get to fly for free so made the trip into a nice weekend get away in NOLA. From the time I landed in NOLA to the time I flew home Sunday night, I couldn't have been welcomed any better. From everyone stopping us in the airport to wish us luck, to those who said they were praying for us it was pretty awe inspiring. I put the car flags on the rental car and headed up to the BR and everyone was giving us a thumbs up or a wave as we passed cars on the interstate. Walking around before the game and having people invite us to their tailgates to offer us food, drinks, and just some good ole souther hospitality is beyond indescribable. Seeing the SC and Block C flag flying above Tiger Stadium and the state flag on the video boards was awesome. Having your band play our alma mater and fight song, and then playing 2001 and sandstorm was the icing on the cake. You guys are an awesome fan base. We had LSU fans in the stadium try to buy us food and do anything they could to make us feel at home. I got cold chills when Carolina entered the stadium and the entire place stood and applauded like it was LSU coming out on the field. This was an experience i'll never forget and it was because of all of you! Best of luck the rest of the season, and Geaux Tigers!
