But what makes us so unique that sets us apart from all other college game day experiences. Sports writers rave about their first experience in TS.

I think it is mainly that we play mostly at night. Tiger Stadium really got its reputation back in the late 60's and early 70's. The one biggest defining factor is that we were one of the very few teams that played all its home games at night. These were the days when few games were televised so few of our home games saw daylight. Combining the factors of the fans being able to tailgate all day, getting drunker as they go, and nighttime making everything seem more intense and special, thats what makes our fans lose their inhibitions more than typical "daylight" fans. That and the fact that we are mostly cajuns and have genetically lower inhibition levels to start with!
So we scream louder, love harder and sing better than everyone else's fans!!
At least thats what I think!

You need to travel alot outside of Lousiana to see it, and maybe you do, but our culture is extremely unique and fun. Also, alcohol consumption outside of here is not a really important part of the equation. Our culture is not replicated anywhere in the US outside of South Lousiana. You combine that with the fact that most folks who live here are from here,which is not true in many other places. That brings with it great pride and a real sense of community.
You put all that in a great bowl stadium and stir it up and you get an atmosphere that blows the minds of those who witness it.
I work for a company based out of Michigan and what they call a football Saturday up there would put most of you to sleep. Hell, at Michigan State they have to get absolution from the University to tailgate on campus more than 4 hours before game start time. I am not making that up!
