My trip to Baton Rouge has been great. We were welcomed and treated very well. The folks that sat in front of us in 630 were very nice and spoke to us a lot once the game was in hand.

The Tennessee fans I encountered at the game were very nice. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for the group of Vol fans seated next to us at dinner on Saturday night. They insisted on doing a little parade around the restaurant singing "it's great to be a Tennessee Vol." They were ignored by most until an elderly LSU fan stood out and politely confronted them. He congratulated them on the win and wished them a safe trip home, then proceeded to remind them that they should be a bit more humble considering that Tennessee football hasn't been nationally relevant in over 20 years, and that during that span, LSU has won the SEC 4 times and won 3 national titles. That shut them up pretty quick.
