LSU is definitely NOT Michigan. I don't ever remember AE getting caught from behind like he did Saturday from the D-linemen. I will be pulling for LSU here on out.

However, I must say, the Death Valley experience was rather lame, especially as the Tigers took the field. I know it wasn't a typical day, but c'mon. This was the first home game after the NC. Maybe it's cause I grew in the "real" Death Valley where an entrance is important. But even App makes the entrance more exciting. The ROCK with 28,000 makes more noise than Tiger Stadium with 65,000. Maybe it doesn't matter too much, but you know what they say about first impressions.

Other than that, the fans were great, we enjoyed ourselves, and my smoked ribs for breakfast were excellent.

Thanks again for having us down. Good luck with the weather and good luck this year! Go Neers!

glad you had a good time.

but this was most definitely not a typical game. Come back for another game and you'll find out what the "real" Death Valley is all about.

People were concerned with a hurricane. Most of the fans there were planning on leaving immediately after the game.

What's the typical entrance to the field, the Tiger Rag? South Carolina plays 2001, NC State walks in from the portals with the fans, Clemson runs down the hill. All of which seems to get the fans pumped. All I'm saying is that for the BCS National Champs, I would imagine a great introduction. You did have a fly by though. That was cool. Like I said, everything else was good, with all things considered. Thanks again for the invite. I would love to come down for a night game.

If you didn't get your fill of Tiger Stadium there will be plenty more opportunities to watch them on national television.

usually we roll out the corpse of Huey p long to the imperial march. Then the band plays Carmina Burana while the players march out in the formation of a skull. We then slaughter a few moose and ox and every fan feasts on the blood of children born to our opponents.

It was 10 in the morning against a D-1AA team, with a hurricane bearing down on us. 35K didn't show up because they were packing and half of the ones that did make it had everthing important in there life packed in their car in Lot K.

Kinda makes sense that the atmosphere would be lame.

The game was at 10am. with a Hurricane bearing down on a fanbase that was totally destroyed by a hurricane just 3 years ago. Get a clue.

2. We had a hurricane bearing down on us
3. LSU was playing Appy St.
4. Did i mention we had a hurricane coming up our arse?

The real Death Valley isnt voted the loudest and most intimidating stadium every year for nothing.

I guess when you can't put a decent team on the field, it helps to dazzle the local yokels with a lot of noise and flashing lights.

Yeah. I'm in Shreveport right now. My sister had her son and now I'm a crazy uncle. I was originally flying down for the game, but family first, right?

Anyway, how you been?

I've been to several Clemson games that were key games for them.

That place has nothing on Tiger Stadium at night when a solid opponent is in town.
