re: Any tips... bringing my 12 yr old son to the game for his bday, first timers!

The Ole Miss fans I’m going with are good people.

I’ll be with 2 Ole Miss fans as well. Think they will help simmer things down if some random frat guy tries something stupid.

Don't listen to them. If you're planning on drinking and being an arse, then yes, you are going to get all the trouble you ask for. If you have a 12 year old with you, are respectful, and don't respond when antagonized, you'll be fine. Some people will likely yell mean things, nothing a 12 year old hasn't already heard. Just be an adult and ignore it and go enjoy the game.

The folks who sit near us in TS told us their friend, a LEO in the Hattiesburg area, told them to avoid going to that game. He said the cops were expecting a lot of trouble from Ole Miss fans.

I don't think the concern for the OP, if he really needs to be concerned, is direct confrontations but collateral involvement. I know quite a few Ole Miss fans, and they would not harass a man with his 12-year-old son unprovoked.

There will be much profanity and Ole Miss chicks getting in fights. The last time I was there, The KKK made an entrance. Save this one for when they are older. IMO (Dad of 3 here)

Man look, guns and knives are a bit overdramatic. However, there will be plenty of cheap shots, thrown drinks/food at you, tons of screaming/cussing frat boys in your face, a lot more than your typical away game banter/friendly trash talking. Enough to make this a very unfavorable experience win or lose. I've been to all but 4 SEC stadiums including the shithole that is War Memorial in Little Rock, the Auburn student section, Gainsville, and Oxford. If OP has been to away games too like he says, then he knows much about keeping your mouth shut and turning the other cheek at a rowdy crowd of cussing frats.

This one is different. If I were going, it would be with other grown arse men, someone I could count on in a fox hole and get some a-hole off of me if I get knocked to the ground. The cops will be looking for trouble makers, and LSU fans will get much of the blame. Leave the women and children behind for this one. If you do go, wearing neutral colors, tell your kid to not cuss back or flip anyone off, and keep your head on a swivel.

I’d be more worried about Jackson than the Grove!

Sure, but that's when you be the responsible adult with your kid and you ignore them and walk away.

The chances of an Ole Miss fan chasing you and your kid to start a fight without being provoked are incredibly slim.

can’t believe this is being downvoted. LSU fans really are pissing down their legs over this game

A lot of Ole Miss frat boy phobia in this thread. They’re not gonna do shite

Enjoy the game with your son OP. Seems like you’re mature enough to avoid confrontation from hecklers. Will be an experience to remember I’m sure

Bring your son to Tiger Stadium for any other game

We were able to bring both our kids to the LaTech game, it was their first LSU football game and they enjoyed the hell out of it!

definitely would not have brought them to what will easily be the most hostile away game this season. Even if they had been to numerous homes games here.

This trip is going to seed a lifetime of bitter hatred and ill will toward Ole Miss, their fans and their shitty, little high school stadium. Godspeed to you and your son, sir. Godspeed.

Sounds like you ain't never been hit square in the back with a mustard covered corndog and turn around to 30 mfers wearing loafers all saying they did it and what you gonna do about it.

i have had knives pulled on me many times in my life.

i saw a bama fan pull a knife on a LSU fan after 2007 game in the Tuscaloosa parking areas. Never think that cannot happen with a drunk angry emotional fan. this shite will be 10x worse than the normal fights that break out.

I expect to hear some horror stories after this game. Those people are mentally unstable. They have been emotional for 10 months.

I would. hell i almost had to throw a bama fan 5 rows down from my seats in tiger stadium for acting the arse with my wife and daughters there. Now imagine how bad it is on the road at this place in this situation. I have never had any serious run ins at neutral site games tho.


for us that have been through all this shite in the past it just ain't worth it. cons outweigh the pros. you may not be looking for trouble but that is not how they will see it.
