Dude, beer consumption is just part of the Cajun culture. France has wine and cheese, Louisiana has beer and crawfish. It is in the DNA.

I went to Tempe in 2005 for the Katrina displacement game. A bar with a good number of LSU fans ran out early in the day. They were not nearly prepared And had to get an extra truckload.

And the comment from some Ole Miss nerd.......

quote:

they ought to look at per capital consumption. LSU has a large stadium. Places like Ole Miss might consume more, but have smaller stadiums. Besides that, no one tailgates like Ole Miss. When you are drinking Hotty Toddy's there is no reason to spend time drinking thin light beer. My guess is Wisconsin or Iowa or Illinois could put the LSU folks under the table


He is right about one thing though...

quote:

no one tailgates like Ole Miss


I can't believe no one else finds it "great" to uncomfortably pile everyone into a de facto refuge tent camp to eat finger sandwiches and cold chicken fingers, before spending 20 minutes in the stadium, leaving early to get into the bars before the cover charge reaches $120 and rushing out of the bar promptly at midnight.

LSU fans are probably more obnoxious that any other college football fans. But at least they are genuine. Ole Miss spends every day pretending to be a "prestigious" university with a student body loaded with kids who were too dumb to get into ACTUAL prestigious universities

Quick test. Which one is the Grove?

That not even a beer per person. That's not a lot. I usually have about three.

Hell, during the Alabama game at Legends, they were totally unprepared.


FIFY.

They ran out of everything. The gin I was drinking. The beer. The toilet paper.

I agree that the atmosphere at Legends is second only to Louisiana, but they are phoning it in at this point. They are resting on the legend of Legends. The atmosphere is due to the people, not anything the bar is doing.

The first statistical evidence for LSU’s drinking aptitude came in 2011, when the Tigers played at West Virginia, one of the first schools in the country that sold beer. The stadium sold $255,396 worth of booze that day—or 82% higher than the average of the other games in 2011.


82% higher

I'm proud to say I was in that number. I drank a good bit of their moonshine (clear, blueberry and banana) too. I had a blast (I think)!!!
