re: So how was the official LSU Alumni Tailgate?

Bought tickets to the Alumni Tailgate late last week when weather (rain) looked to be a factor. We parked the truck under a tree just east of the Astrodome, and weather was actually great. But since we had the tickets, we walked over to check it out. The A/C was nice, food wasn't that bad, but of course the highlight was the Tiger Band making an appearance. After that, we went back out to the parking lot and the cold beer in the ice chest.
