Who will be on the Plains next week?

I will be there to support OUR Tigers, as well as 3 other friends.

Will be present and decked in purple as usual.

Is there a plan to wear purple or gold? I've got both so either one works for me.

ill be there, hoping to break my 0-2 record at auburn

It is going to be absolutely nuts there on Saturday.

Been debating this. The last trip I made to JH was ref-gate 2006, and since my superstitions are so powerful, I dont want to be the reason the team loses.

-----------------------------------------------
2006
The two Tigers met in Auburn, Alabama with their highest head-to-head ranking ever, and played what several athletes on both teams considered their most physical game of the season. Both teams were early season national title contenders. At the end of the first half, LSU managed a last second field goal to take a 3-0 halftime lead. Auburn took the lead with a third quarter touchdown, and had two fourth quarter stops to win 7-3 in the lowest scoring game since an LSU 6-0 victory in 1935. In the final moments, playing with no time outs left, JaMarcus Russell threw short of the end-zone to Craig Davis and Brock delivered a hit on the four yard-line to seal the Auburn victory.

Questionable calls led LSU to file an SEC complaint against the officiating crew.[4] The media focused primarily upon an interference call being waved off during LSU's next-to-last drive as the ball was ruled to be uncatchable, but the complaint addressed several calls and the crew's officiating consistency.[4] The SEC supported the officiating crew.[4] In any view, the officiating decisions played a large part in the outcome, as the plays in question would have given great advantage to the other team if they had been ruled differently.

A follow-up report from the AP, on Sept. 19, 2006 said: LSU athletic director Skip Bertman sharply criticized the officiating in last Saturday's game at Auburn as well as the Southeastern Conference's subsequent backing of the officials' decisions on two key calls.

"The SEC Office has stood by the officials' calls, and we respectfully but strongly disagree," Bertman said in a statement released by LSU on Tuesday. "We strive for excellence every day in LSU athletics, and we expect the same level of excellence from the officials that are assigned to us by the SEC."

Late in the game, Auburn defensive back Zach Gilbert was flagged for interfering with receiver Early Doucet deep in its own territory in Auburn's 7-3 win over then-No. 6 LSU. The flag was waved off because officials deemed that Eric Brock's tip of the ball made it uncatchable.

Another controversial fourth-quarter call went Auburn's way when LSU's interception on third-and-29 was negated because Daniel Francis was penalized for interference on receiver Courtney Taylor, giving Auburn an automatic first down.

That pass was ruled a catchable ball, and SEC media relations director Charles Bloom said that call also was correct.

The victory helped Auburn climb from No. 3 to No. 2 The AP Top 25 poll, while LSU fell to No. 10.

LSU coach Les Miles complained after the game about both calls.

"There were obviously a number of calls by SEC officials in our game against Auburn that had a dramatic impact on the game," Bertman said. "Coach Miles went through the proper procedure of addressing these calls with the SEC Office and I appreciate the manner in which he has expressed his dissatisfaction with the officials' decisions."

Be there to see the eagle land at midfield for pregame. Some people crap on that, but I think it's a pretty damn cool tradition.
