Nothing makes a hungover, sleep deprived 1.5 hr drive better than:
The sign in the bathroom
Shots of Vodka w/ pickle juice chaser

Wait what? Yeah, apparently the other guys drinking it convinced me it was a great idea! WOW.

Then we arrive at the stadium...
Pretty intimidating to pull up past the practice fields and see those banners! Good work guys.

We then walked towards the stadiums and took a left and headed up Victory hill. Stopped at a few tailgates, had a luge shot, nothing crazy.

Then I got up across from the two mounds that look like a nice rack and broke my Tigerbait virginity. Now, I was surprised it took that long... but as you have told me... I have grown to love that saying. Yeah, call me what you want and then feed me and give me as much alcohol as I can drink? Yes PLEASE! The rest of our group of ~60-80 kept walking and my immidiate group stayed. Storey, Kris, and I played beer pong, flip cup, ate Brisket / Jumb / etc. It was still 11AM so it wasn't too hot to eat food at this point. After a few hours we decided we needed to wander. and started walking towards where the player busses come in an such..

So, we made our way back to the first tailgate and they insisted on walking us to the game to make sure we got to the right place and nobody got out of line and were disrespectful to us. One of our girls we were walking with had a full rum and coke and said she needed help when we made it to the stadium, so I showed an LSU girl how to drink and pounded a full 16oz drink.

Apparently I needed it for the game.

I made sure when I got up top to take a min and enjoy the scenery overlooking the whole town of Baton Rouge and it was awesome :)

Got to our seats and lost my voice on that first drive. At that point, I was bummed we only got 3 out of it, but was completely optomistic. Then things got our of hand...

made it back on the party bus to NOLA and had the standard night. Not as bad as Night #1, but not as good as Night #2

That was awesome..Now..tell us your overall impressions of TS and the whole culture and all that shite.

Well, first and foremost, you don't condone masturbating to pooping cowboys. Given that I wore a cowboy hat all weekend, I was really appreciative and hold you guys in high regards!

TS- from the outside looks pretty normal, but sitting up at the top it was simply massive. I guess being able to see everything helped out. Tailgating aside, the chants are spot on and everyone participates which makes for a friggin fun game. I could feel some nervous tension when we got off the that ridic start, but at no point did the crowd get quiet or lose the muster. Needless to say the crows was awesome!

I think my favorite thing about the stadium was the views. Looking out over the buildings and the river and such. It was awesome! Now it doesn't really compare to Husky Stadium but it is completely awesome compared to every other pac12 / Qualcomm and other bowl games I've been to.

I think the most impressive part for me was the tailgating. I mean, I know everyone parties and has their thing, but I would consider us the best travelling fan and the best tailgaters. I've never seen anything like 90 in and 90 out. There are a few people who tailgate and don't go to Husky games, but the volume of them down there was mindblowing!

Awesome job. Thanks!

My group of 7 owned Walk-Ons the night before. Fun crowd and very fun waitresses. But fairly slow night for LSU fans.

Game day. Everyone was extremely welcoming. Not one bad experience with one fan Only got a handful of tigerbaits (except that little 5 year old who tigerbaited the shite out of us- ).

Almost felt like it would be insulting to refuse all the food that was being handed out. And when they gave you a bowl of something, it was completely full. Incredible. Had no problem getting food or drink and think the hospitality was second to none. Many LSU fans were waiving over scores of UW fans to invite them to their tailgates. Was very cool to see.

Loved seeing the tailgates throughout campus. Made it way more spread out than our tailgates (which are all back to back in parking lots with the exception of the small North lot and the lake). Other than the hospitality and throwing tons of food at you, the most obvious difference with our tailgates was space (and I'm certain your tailgates had many more concert-like sound systems blaring).

The Tiger walk down Victory Hill was pretty cool. We don't have anything like that as our campus isn't used for football games hardly as we use the entire lower campus area near the lake instead. Not sure I've ever seen so many opposing fans be so tightly squished together without any arguments or problems. Very cool to see.

The stadium was not all that special from the outside. The other facilities - like the baseball stadium - were impression. On the inside, Tiger Stadium appeared huge (but also was stting on the top row with a nice breeze and views of campus). The wind from above was quite different than on the field - in fact, opposite most of the time by the look of the flags on the goal posts vs the stadium flags).

Stadium sound system was terrible. Maybe the wind affected it. Crowd noise was good, but expected a lot more (and this was before the game was decided too). Smelled like corndogs at one point (which was funny considering the stereotype I've heard). I didn't see the crazy or ridiculous atmopshere of a night game that was promised. I expected more and expected a more electric game time atmosphere too. Maybe the beat down affected it but I didn't see it before the game or at the beginning. Maybe it was the fact our seats were so high up and not in the LSU sections.

Did not see a single run in or problem with any fans. Even after the game when UW fans' heads were hung low, there was no taunting or BS. In fact, only heard genuine comments such as "be safe," "thanks for coming," or "hope you enjoyed the trip" (and not in a sarcastic way either).

A terrible game but a very cool trip. Thoroughly enjoyed it, the Tiger fans, and the top notch tailgating.

We save that atmosphere for real games.
