Mullet Toss or college roommate's wedding

When Sara Landry was recruiting friends to go to the Flora-Bama's 30th annual Interstate Mullet Toss with her this weekend, she wasn't about to take any excuses, least of all from herself.
"I told everybody, 'I'm missing my college roommate's wedding for this,'" Landry said. "No excuses, you need to be there."
While the former roommate was likely less enthusiastic about Landry's decision (Landry said she texted but still hasn't heard back from the bride-to-be), plenty of people happily jumped on the caravan from south Louisiana to the beach at the Flora-Bama.
Landry traveled with a group of about 40 Louisianans, ranging in age from mid-20s to old enough to have children in their mid-20s. The group's no-excuses mantra extended to a woman named Morgan, had fashioned plastic bags over a walking boot she wore due to a months-old foot sprain. The mindset extended to Steve Yarborough, the ringleader who began organizing the trips. Yarborough was at the first Mullet Toss in 1985 and has been to every one since.

Hah, I know her and about 10 other people in that group.
She and another girl were in the pictures posted earlier this week from last years toss.

Getting married on mullet toss weekend is just as dumb as getting hitched during football season. People need to put a lot more thought in when planning big dates like that

I graduated from LSU in 2006 and I don't ever remember people going to Mullet Toss. Did this just blow up in recent years or did I just miss it?

It has def gained a lot of momentum since then getting more and more popular evey year. 2006 was the first year I went and I don't remember it being a big deal thing for LSU. I went to MT before it was cool to go to MT

It's throwing dead fish on the beach? It's drinking on the beach? Looks like spring break for older kids.

Basically what it is, although it seems to be getting younger every year.
And I dont know anyone that has actually watched the mullet toss, much less thrown a mullet. Basically just getting hammered on the beach with all your friends for a few days.

FWIW I don't think most of the Louisiana Mullet Toss folks attend/attended LSU. Last year I ran into a bunch of people from La Tech and ULL that were covered in LSU gear.

Used to be just a bunch of Gumps and Barners until the rest of the world decided to come over.

Mullet toss happens every year.
