How great will Tiger Stadium be for this game? Everyone’s been looking forward to it so much since the rumors of Kiffin’s family touring Baton Rouge began and now here we are, six weeks away. The atmosphere will be top tier for sure.

Do we start off slow and sluggish or dominate right out of the gate? I’m looking forward to being there so much and only regret that I won’t be able to see Kiffin’s halftime interview comments.

The vibes were so damn low the tail end of the Kelly era. That A&M game was rock bottom. Theirs new found excitement and energy under Kiffin. This is easily the most anticipated home opener in over a decade. Death Valley is going to be deafening plus College Gameday.

That was a complete lowpoint in LSU football, to watch the Aggies dominate LSU and then the team quit, was a gut punch.



I really like when i hear Kiffin say he wants to get LSU football back to where other teams are almost scared to play LSU at night in Tiger Stadium because they know LSU will be extreamly physical.

I forgot about that! Hopefully it actually works. I’d love to be able to stream the game on my phone so I can see replays of bad calls since the stadium barely shows them on the gigantic video board.

The way the team collectively gave up after that punt return TD was painful to watch you knew right then and there the BK era had to end. The mystique and intimidation of playing at Tiger stadium at night was fading under Brian Kelly.

Outside of Jayden’s Heisman season we had one blowout loss at home every year under Brian Kelly (Tennessee in 22, bama in 24, A&M last year ). Kiffin seems to fully understand how special Tiger stadium is and is installing a culture of we’re not gonna let a team walk into this stadium and outphyiscal us

That’s because Kiffin coached against us inside Tiger Stadium many times at Alabama and Ole Miss. He knows.

Kiff will be in the spotlight as ESPN Gameday will be covering the game, and it seems that all of college football will be watching. I expect this game to sell out. I had difficulty finding a decent hotel nearby.

It better be great because it’s looking like you’re not getting in the door for less than $400 a ticket

That'll come down to bout $350 by gametime.

Lane is driving Ozzie's crazy train. Should be spectacular

I'd like for LSU to play the opening seconds of Crazy Train right before the team runs onto the field for the opener. The best way for LSU to respond to all the tards melting down over Kiffin at LSU is to embrace the craziness that comes with him.

It is going to be surreal.

Lane said "he always wondered what it would be like to be on the opposite sideline in tiger stadium" and his first game is going to show him how important that is.

Talking to Clemson friend and he showed me a presser from Dabo. Basically he said we could run up the middle on them because their DT isn't great so far.

Dabo is in the Les Miles era of his career

He said about as much. He's prepared for Lane to drop 50 in the debut.

Finally. TD won't be deprived of my witty remarks during the games.

Kelly had us losing to Flarda GD state. TWICE.

Kelly deprived us of vengeance over the 2003 "co champions" bullshite USC pulled.

i'll certainly be disappointed with lane if clemson comes in and wins, but i doubt it happens. Can't be more infuriating than Kelly's 3 opener losses.

f'n USC i swear

Can't tell you how many times I try pulling up the scoreboard during games to see what people are saying while I'm in my seat and it goes soooooooo slow. Really ruins my in-game Tigerdroppings experience.
