My once in a lifetime opportunity

So I made the trek from Austin for the LSU game this past weekend. I haven't been able to make a game since 2008 and was pumped for this one. I had tickets for the LSU/Oregon game but couldn't go due to a death in the family.
Anyway, my family gets season tickets and was going to hook me up for this game. My mom calls and says she has something special lined up for me and my step dad. She won the Taco Bell give away deal so we got to go down on the field for pre game.
They took us behind the gates and up the hill to greet the team as the offloaded the bus, then walked down the hill with the band and into the P Mac. Stand on the floor in the P Mac while the band play a couple of songs. Leave from there and go out on the field until the game starts.
We are standing there and realize that we are in the middle of the who's who crowd for LSU. Just to my left is Chad Jones, D Byrd, and T Tolliver.
In front of us was the Governor and his family, not that I really care because I'm not into politics.
I was standing in the middle of all the recruits and met a few of them, good group of kids they had there and some serious athletes.
I did talk to Chad Jones a little and spoke to D Byrd and TT. Chad was super nice and had a smile on his face the whole time. I told him congrats on the 4.8 40 and that we were pulling for him to get back in the NFL. Chad was super appreciative and couldn't have been any nicer. I was pumped to meet him as Chad is one of my all time favorite Tigers.
So here's a few of the pics I got, enjoy.

Why would a person tattoo "cream" on their arm?
