I didn't search so it may have been discussed, but since we haven't gotten a flyover yet does anyone think they'll do one for this game?

I don't know if the weather forecast would make a difference on this call.

Why would we have a flyover? Did we win the national championship last year?

That's a stupid question. We usually do it for the home opener, but the weather didn't allow this year. Some schools do it for really big games. It gets me amped. I figured why not?

you have to win a championship the previous year to do a flyover? No.

But do they do flyover for night games? How much light will there be at 7pm?

Les and Chavis will be flying a pair of B52s and the team will parachute down to the field

About 15 minutes worth. Good point.

Since '03 I can only remember 2 of them. Was I too drunk?

No seriously, have there been more than the ones in '04 and '08?

I know they are planning on having a flyover, though I'm sure it is weather permitting.

A poster on tigerbait is actually in charge of corridnating the timing so they arrive as soon as the national anthem is finished.

If anyone has an account, I'd go read the thread on the tigerbait message board.

That's all that I can remember, though there were also the paratroopers prior to Virginia Tech in 07.

Just like ESPN and CBS, FOX, etc. The Department of Defense hates LSU.

Sunset is at 6:39. If kickoff's at 7 that means it would be around 6:53. But Jim said on the Les Miles show that it's at 7:10. That would put the flyover at around 7:03. I don't think there would be much light left. It could also be cloudy, covering up the little remaining light.

I mean, sure it would be cool to just hear them I guess. I'm pretty sure it's going to be dark.

I heard Chad Jones will jump from plane and deliver game ball.
