I was telling my dad about your idea to tweet stuff to the players. He doesn't do the whole twitter/facebook stuff but he thought it was a good idea.

I told him, "yeah, the guy that had this idea lives over in London! (He and my mom have been there twice)."

He says, "In London? Wow!"

Man, if you could've been over here and experienced it first hand.... It was bad arse.

I'm sure you had a couple Guiness or Bass' or perhaps Murphy's stout to down though over there!

Cool! I was actually drinking American beer.. It just goes well with football!

I'm looking forward to next week though, 5pm kickoff for me! Gonna cook some jambalaya and enjoy the sociable game time!

I'm coming over for two games at the start of next season, just wait for the schedule to come out. Was gonna do it this year but didn't come together...

London...when we started this thing, it was to try to support our team and balance the negative comments. But (for me) the communication aspect of social media took over and in seeing the players tweet out and request that Tigernation show up...not so much requesting support....but requesting that we show up to HELP them by being loud...it was like it was a direct command. I wasn't just going to watch the game and root for my Tigers. I was on a mission. I had a duty. I had been asked to show up, represent, and yell my arse off...which I did! And after the game...as silly as it seems, seeing the players tweet out to us "Tigernation" and thank us....that was really pretty damn cool. Keep this going!

I tweeted some players today and I got a message back! Not a retweet, an actual reply!

I about fell over!

Still new to this twitter stuff but it meant a lot, A. To me and B. For the player to find it important to send the tweet out. No one made him do it.

Love our players!

Nice post! I think this type of stuff has an impact on everyone - players and the fans. It really doesn't matter who feels positive from it...the positive feeling is infectious and it can only be a good thing!

I got chills watching the game... Everyone was so loud... I'm gonna tweet them now!

Agreed. Look at me today! I got a message back! It meant so much to this player to send a message directly to me!

That's awesome!

I'm going to tweet them on Thurs. Let them rest for a couple days, get the practice in, then tweet them.

Yeah...who? I've spent 30 mins over there trying to figure it out, but i still am not sure who y'all are over there. Why can't y'all just have a universal fake name like me?

+1

We are a family - LSU family. I love the idea that we have the players backs knowing that they are giving all they have, and I love when they know it... synergy, if you will.

Way to go guys!

I've been using #LSU13and1, #ForeverLSU, and the one I sent to Sonic I also included #Beastmode.

But the #LSU13and1 is the big one. Don't do 13-1. Spell it out, LSU13and1.
