this weekend at the LSU-Bama game was unbelievable. Hey ya'll, some know me from the rivals main board but thought I'd share some thoughts on here too.

My goal coming to Baton Rouge was to have a lot of fun and to compare with Oregon. Well, there wasn't much of a comparison...

Scenary- Oregon
BR is nothing to look at compared to the Northwest obviously but that was a given.

Hospitality- LSU, no comparison, the people were great, very nice, and nothing but smiles, wanted nothing but to have fun, and surprisingly, I wore my Oregon jersey and I got more "Go Ducks" than "You must be lost" comments. Kelly's Heroes were freaking awesome and I look forward to tailgating with ya'll up in Seattle next year.

Women- LSU for the win here. WOW, had quality and quantity. You could not look in a direction at the tailgate and not see at least an 8. Unbelievable, and if Georgia and Ole Miss are better in terms of trim than LSU like the SEC guys were saying at the game, then I will need to see it to believe it.

Food- It was very good and different so tough to compare. First time eating stuff like Alligator, crawfish, gumbo, boudin balls, poboys and all that stuff. Most was very good.

Tailgating- LSU, no comparison. Had a freakin blast. All the hot chicks with us were awesome, all the dudes were cool. There was never any point in which there was even tension between anyone which was weird. Just a great time. First time in my life I believe that I was hammered by 10 AM cause since I was the visitor from 2,000 miles away, I was not allowed to be standing around empty handed, lol. Those guys kept making me do the shot ski and they made it a goal to f me up before the game. Just a great time with very nice scenary. Oh and doing the shot-ski with 3 chicks that are about a 9, 9, and a 9 was definitely an experience, just don't send those pics to my wife k? :-P

Game Experience- LSU, It had to be though considering it was Bama. We were in the bama section and had a blast. The game was crazy and the blocked field goal was unbelievable. Great place to watch a game.

Crowd Noise-
1-3 Qtrs- Oregon was louder
4th Qtr- LSU, when the sun went down, something sparked up these fans and it was very loud. That part was crazy but I wonder why they weren't that loud in the first three qtrs. Overall, to be honest, I think crowd noise is pretty even. Both places are crazy.

Night before the game- LSU, crazy. We went to chimes and my god, everywhere you look there were 8s, 9s, and some 10s all over the damn place. Had dinner with Reuben Randle and Josh Downs which was cool. You can tell people were pumped about the game.

Overall, I had a great experience and want to come back next year. I know the people we tailgated with are coming up to Washington next year so I'll kick it with them next year. Great people all over the place. Besides Scenary and Cheerleaders, and the crowd noise being a push, LSU basically kicked Oregon's arse in every category. I went in with very high expectations and they were blown away!!! Even bought a LSU football for my son and a LSU shirt for my wife at the Baton Rouge airport on the way home.

Thanks again for all those that hosted us at the Shot-ski tailgate and you better believe I'm flying down for a game next year.

Geaux Tigers!!!

I was at the tents with the shot-ski. They had a rivals.com banner up. There were guys from all around, I was the Oregon fan wearing the Oregon jersey but there was a Florida State fan, USC fan, Notre Dame fan, etc along with a bunch of LSU and Bama fans of course.

Love how the guy does nothing but compliment LSU and say everything was better than Oregon, but the one edge he gives to Oregon you just can not accept it. No possible way anything is as good as LSU, no possible way

I'm sure that was me, about 5'10, 210. I'm almost positive I was the only mf'er down there wearing anything Oregon, lol.

Glad you had a good time! Autzen is one of the places on my list to try to make a game. I have a neighbor/friend who went to USC so I will try to make the trip with him one day.

Too bad the Tigers could not pull it on Saturday, but again, glad you had a good time!

Definitely, night games at Autzen are the best. Like LSU, it gets a hell of a lot crazier and louder at night, especially against Oregon State or Washington.

Definitely recommend coming up for a game for any of you guys, great place to catch a game. I've already cleared it from Kelly's heroes that I'm starting an Oregon shot-ski up in Eugene.

If I had to guess, I would say Bama for Randle. That is a pure guess though, could be wrong. Also, this was the night before the game so anything is possible. Definitely a LSU-Bama battle though.

So if I get invited to an LSU game, is wearing a Temmple jersey acceptable? Will anyone out there give me a "Geaux Owls?"
