ESPN list of great college game-day traditions

It's a pretty interesting list, divided into different categories (entrances, tributes, food, music, etc.) I was getting annoyed looking at it because there was nothing about LSU....until I got to the bottom of the list. There was one final category, labeled "The Total Package" with only one entry:
If you're a college football fan, you might enjoy reading the entire list, which includes some things I didn't know about various schools and stadiums.

Saturday night at Tiger Stadium, LSU: Where do you start when it comes to taking in an LSU football game? The tailgating, in particular the scrumptious food (jambalaya, gumbo and shrimp po'boys, all out of this world). And, yes, there are always beverage options available. The wardrobes and Mardi Gras beads are unlike anything else you'll find in college football, and no trip to LSU is complete without visiting Mike the Tiger in his sprawling digs. And then there's the Golden Band From Tigerland and those first four notes before breaking full bore into "Hold That Tiger." It all adds up to college football pageantry at its finest. -- Low

If I am remembering right that video is from after lsu upset ole miss in tiger stadium in 2014. Ole Miss was really hyped up that year and LSU beat them on a walk off field goal pretty much ruining their season. That is why emotions were running a little high in that video

LSU gameday appears to be #1 on the list even though it’s not a ranking
LSU, Saturday night in Death Valley is the only experience listed under “The Total Package”

All biases aside, we have the best GameDay atmosphere and it is not even close.

And then there's the Golden Band From Tigerland and those first four notes before breaking full bore into "Hold That Tiger."
First Note (HOLD)
Second Note (THAT)
Third Note (TI)
fourth Note (GER)
Tiger Rag was written by Nick LaRocca, Eddie Edwards, Henry Ragas, Tony Sbarbaro and Larry Shields of the Original Dixieland Jazz Band in 1917.

The Mills Brothers did a vocal version in 1931 where "Hold that Tiger" is heard for the first time.
The 4 Notes are on the Door.
