Behind enemy lines report: Seatte Times' take on last night

Summarizes the game day atmosphere in Tiger Stadium well:

BATON ROUGE, La. — In the festive hours before kickoff, this is the most hospitable place on Earth.
At one tailgating spot, LSU fans called over a few purple-clad Washington supporters and treated them to alligator jambalaya and fried catfish. Under another LSU canopy, a longtime Tiger season-ticket holder mixed margaritas in a gasoline-powered blender.
One Washington fan almost felt as if she would be insulting him if she didn't accept his drink. In the hours before kickoff, as a humid Saturday afternoon slowly turned into a breezy, beautiful Saturday night, the atmosphere on the LSU campus was as collegial and welcoming as a campaign fundraiser.

Tiger Stadium is nicknamed "Death Valley" for a reason. This is where game plans come to die. Playbooks are shredded. Hearts are broken. Hopes are quickly extinguished.
This vertiginous shrine to college football and its 92,804 fans were supposed to be barometers for Washington. LSU made sure the Huskies understood exactly how much work is ahead of them.
Price was hurried all night. Sam Montgomery came at him from one side; Barkevious Mingo came from the other. And because Washington couldn't run the ball (a net total of 26 yards rushing), LSU dared Price to throw, rushing him with no fear of repercussion.
This was a game that felt like a long, slow death. A Saturday that had too much Tiger, too little offense and not nearly enough alligator jambalaya.

You really think someone made alligator jambalaya? Or is it just the writer putting a Cajun slant on the story?

Why not? I have gator in my freezer, and im not even coonass. I saw lots of jambalaya being made yesterday

So would I, but that's a lot of gator meat for a tailgate jambalaya.

Awesome. Just awesome.

Have a friend marketing alligator sausage, and he claims it makes a great jambalaya. Haven't tried it yet, but I will.

I'm not sure what vertiginous means, but it sounds great!

Oh i know how to cook it, i just dont think its much of a stretch to have a pot of jambalaya with gator meat in it. Either way, it gives me honor that my fanbase gets these kinds of pieces written about them

Not only do I think they made IT, but I would bet he had two helpings. This is Louisiana, we eat stuff that COULD EAT US!

I can tell you guys are from Louisiana. Guy writes a glowing article about LSU football with an aside about the food, and the food is the first thing you guys pick up on.
