My famy and I went to the LSU Umass game yesterday. We had a great time. We sat right behind the LSU team bench. My 10 year old son was able to meet Johnnny Jones, Andre Stringer, and Johnny O' Bryant III. He had the best time of his life and will remember this for a long time. Thanks Coach and players for meeting us after the game. My son also was able to get his LSU cap autographed. We want to say thanks to them for taking the time after the game to meet us. We will always remember this minute. We also took pictures with them.

We were there too. Were you the family that came down to sit behind the bench?

So glad you had a great experience and that you came out for the game!

We sat beside a lady that had driven from New York to see them. Nice to see such dedicated fans.

My son had an LSU hat but there was also a family that had 2 sons that had LSU hats that were sitting near us. We had a wonderful time. Thanks LSU for the great day to remember.

My husband & I sat in the 1st row behind the bench the on the far left. Then we moved up a row, for better vision.

If you want to watch the entire game video and don't mind paying, you can sign up for the Geaux Zone. You can get a 1 month membership for $12.95 and then get access to the full game. Go here:
LINK

Like someone else mentioned, ESPN 3 might have it.
I don't where you could buy it though.

Regarding sending fan mail, you should probably contact the Athletics Compliance Office first. There are all kinds of weird NCAA rules:
LSU Athletics Department
LSU Compliance, Athletics Administration Building, Baton Rouge, LA 70894-5095
Telephone: 225-578-4100 • Fax: 225-578-2430 • E-mail: compliance@lsu.edu.

I'm glad you and your family had such an awesome experience.

I agree. Johnny Jones was so friendly after the game. He met my wife and son. We also met Andre Stringer and Johnny O' Bryant III. All of the players were a class act. It was a day to remember for my 10 year old even thought he missed school :) He couldn't pass this opportunity to meet LSU players and coach. LSU never comes up to Massachusetts. This was once in a lifetime opportunity. Geaux Tigers!

That's awesome.

Coach Jones has me super excited after what I saw last season/this offseason.
