G'day Matt. Been to Brisbane a few times for work. I went to the State of Origin a couple years ago where NSW won at the Olympic Stadium in Sydney. It was pretty awesome, but that will not prepare you for Tiger Stadium. 
Enjoy. Soak it all in.
Traveling to Auckland week after next.

Just so you know...the LSU - South Carolina game on October 10th was moved up for television. Kickoff will be at 9AM Las Vegas time.
Here's a link to the Sin City Tigers website. If you're near the Monte Carlo Hotel / Casino, they meet there for LSU games. LINK

We have an Outback Steakhouse in BR if you want to put another shrimp on the Barbie while you're in town mate! Crikey!

Believe the Dallas/Sydney direct flight is the longest non-stop flight in the world right now.

I'll be in Vegas for the Bama game. Probably find this crew.

Yep you are right about that flight being the longest non-stop. It is going to be a killer!
Thanks for all the feedback guys. I sure as hell better have my drinking boots on when I get to the states is what I am picking up :) I am planning to get to LSU before midday. I need to go and get a US SIM card when T-Mobile open at 9am and will probably head there after that to fit it all in :)

Just curious, How did you become a Tiger fan living in Australia?
Posted on 9/30/15 at 9:42 pm to Kajungee
How did I come a fan...
My football team (rugby league) are the tigers as a background and I usually jump on any tiger teams (say in Australian Football or NFL).
As for LSU... Many years ago when I was at school (ie before the internet) we had these enclopedias that I buried myself in. On the front of one was a LSU player, but with no mention of the team or who he was. Loving my sport I was following the NFL at the time, which pre internet in Australia, was damn hard. I couldn't work out what team it was and had no idea of the whole college football thing. The colours stuck and it was years later, I again saw a picture somewhere, and the team was identified.
So being a tiger, then finding out this team were also tigers, well I was all over that! My Aussie football teams suck! One of them (in rugby league) nearly came last this year. The other one (Australian football) got knocked straight out in first week of post season - the third year in a row
It is good to go for at least one tiger team who live up to the name!

That's interesting, Matt. LSU has something of an Aussie connection. LSU's current and a former football punter are Aussies. (Though from what I understand, a "punter" is something much different where you are.) 
Posted on 9/30/15 at 9:53 pm to ozmattontour
We have two Aussies on the team
Posted on 9/30/15 at 10:31 pm to SNAPPERHEAD
Yep I noticed there were a couple of Aussies on the team.
I thought they might have been banned after Brad Wing's efforts a couple of years ago when he had a touchdown called back for taunting the opposition!
LSU Basketball were here in Brisbane a month or so back but I missed the game as I was in Europe. Super bad timing on my part!

Son, you just described what we call bleeding purple and gold... It was just in you waiting to be discovered
Consider yourself one of the fortunate few to have been chosen
Have a blast
