Apologies in advance for the length. We're getting close to game time so I wrote something up as if it were going to be the narration on a hype video. Likely won't be but I nerded out. Feel free to use it if you're the hype video type

We know how you feel about us
We've heard it
It started when Coach decided Baton Rouge was where he wanted to be
Then came the portal
And somehow, every time another name chose us, the noise got a little louder
Lawsuits…
Threats…
Everybody suddenly had something to say about how we're doing things
And maybe they're right…
Maybe we're everything they say we are
But while they've been worried about what we're doing in Baton Rouge...
We've built something they should probably be a lot more worried about because now…
They have to play us

And this is Louisiana
2 colors
3 letters
4 notes
They mean something down here
You learned them from your father and he learned them from his
Different generations but the same ole Louisiana Saturday nights
This place has seen Heismans
Championships
Legends
But the names on the back have never mattered as much as the letters on the front
Because when you wear them, you carry Louisiana with you
Every parish
Every living room tuned in on Saturday night
Every Tiger who came before you

We've seen great teams here before
We know what they look like
But something about THIS team feels...
Just Different
And soon the Golden Band will march down Victory Hill
the sun will find its home in the western sky
and it will be Saturday Night in Death Valley
The Pantheon of college football
Where 102,000 become one voice
Where the earth shakes
Where the chain of rain is… NEVER
And when you hear the best sound in football
the LSU Tigers going to war
they'll learn why THIS is truly a place where
opponents’ dreams come to die
