Just let everyone you meet know you are fron San Diego and this is your first SEC game. All will go all out of their way to convert you to LSU football

This right here is some solid advice. We take so much pride in our hospitality, that if you'll walk around with that kind of "dumbfounded" look on your face - you know, the "where do i go next" look - people will figure out that you're a foreigner, and will immediately do their level headed best to impress you with what they've got to offer in the way of food, drink, and bullshite. As good as the food is, sometimes, the bullshite's even the best part.

While I'm not trying to dork y'all out, but maybe you and wife should wear some Charger's gear, or something like that, such that you'll stick out. Seriously, folks will notice, and ensure that you'll have a good time. It's really that easy - find the biggest/best talegate that you see, politely walk up to the ringleader, and let them know that you came all the way from San Diego just to see the spectacle that is Saturday Night in Tiger Stadium. We'll handle it from there.

The game that you are about to attend (assuming LSU doesn't lose again/Bama doesn't lose), and the atmosphere that you'll see, will be as ------ I just can't come up with the right word to describe it. You'll know what I mean when you get there.

The Chimes has already been mentioned multiple times in this thread. There's a reason for that. Believe it or not, there is actually some bad cajun food in restaurants in South Louisiana. It's not at the Chimes though. You'll definitely want to get a cup of gumbo to go along with whatever else you get.

Since you're staying downtown NO Friday night, you obviously won't be able to "get it all in" - just take a look at the thread, whenever it ends, and maybe base your pick on what gets metioned most. It's pretty easy to find great food in New Orleans.

The only bad part about your whole deal is this.....you're cutting your teeth on what will likely be one of the top 5 games played in Baton Rouge in the last, oh, hundred years. Think of it like this......

I think you said your 40?, so that would have made you what, 16 in 1988? You've not yet had the opportunity to experience sex, but are raring to go. I mean, you'd have hit anything at that point in your life. You find your dad's Playboy stash, get ready to rub one out, and just as you unfold the centerfold, lightning strikes the house, simultaneously with a small meteorite, sparks commence, magic is created, and BAM!! - Miss November, 1988, in all her glorious bosomdry, springs to life from the glossy pages, and the first words out of her mouth are "thank you for liberating from being couped up in that akward, folded up position. your sexual wish is my command for the next 4 hours".

How would other sex be after that.

I know you've probably seen a football game before, but you're still a young man. Nothing will compare after this. Most of us had to cut our teeth on Vanderbuilt, or the Citadel, because mom wanted to go to the good games, so dad only took you to those less attended. You're essentially running a marathon without training. Be careful.
