Saw them walking by our tailgate......I guess they wanted to see what real football looked like.

We're bringing a dozen Cornhuskers to the game next Saturday. Mostly for the same reason. They want to experience a Saturday night in Tiger Stadium.

Friday night at the Chimes, we sat next to three guys from Colorado who came in for the game

Nice job picking the ULM game. They'll think Tiger Stadium sucks.

Obviously I would have preferred to bring them down to a BIG game... However, 16 tickets for high demand games are almost impossible to come by. Plus, they would never fly to NOLA and drive up to Tiger Stadium on the "remote chance" of getting tickets. That's just unrealistic...
Trust me.. they're thankful for a 4 day weekend in New Orleans and LSU. Doesn't matter who the opponent is.

Yeah, the first half was a real doozy.

Smart move. Coming from that far away and not being able to sit near each other would suck.
You'll probably be able to get tickets within a section or two apart and then just move to the empty seats, especially if you're willing to sit in one of the upper sections.

I agree. Nebraska football atmosphere is different than the SEC but the passion is there.

They sat in EU... about 5-6 guys

Big surprise, the original comment made by a person who doesnt watch football outside of LSU. Otherwise, they'd know, Oregon is a machine this year.

Ryan Howard from the phillies was there to. Saw him walkin out the stadium by the jet and shook his hand.

Could be.
I was flying to Dallas for Portland last month and spotted someone in the bathroom line with a LSU shirt. Since I'm head of the local LSU chapter, I struck up a conversation and asked the guy if he was a local alum. To my surprise, he was just a guy from Oregon (Duck fan) who went down to see us play a few years ago... just to soak up the atmosphere. And he bought a T-shirt as a souvenir...
So yes, some folks do fly in just to watch LSU games.
He and his dad were on their way to Miami for the Florida State / Miami game. I told him that Jimbo Fisher was FSU's head coach and many Tiger fans would like to have him back and send Crowton back to Oregon. He laughed and said nobody in Eugene misses Crowton. Told him it ought to be a good game b/w LSU and Oregon next year.
So at least from this one anecdotal experience, I gathered that a lot of folks around the nation are curious about the Southern religious football expierence and curious enough to make an annual pilgrimage to college football's cathedrals to experience the game Southern style.
Just my two cents...

I've been to Autzen. Big difference from Death Valley.
