"LSU brought great food & students trashed the place"-Dallasobserver

My son and I had tickets to the Rangers game Saturday evening, so I suggested we walk through the notoriously epic LSU tailgating festivities at AT&T Stadium prior to the baseball game. LSU fans bring with them hands-down the best tailgating food ever, and I thought I'd let the kid experience a little of the camaraderie and energy of a college tailgating scene. I'm thinking ahead a little: "See how great college is?"

The rich culinary traditions of southern Louisiana are celebrated, usually emphasized by whomever the Tigers are playing. Two years ago when they played the Oregon Ducks, there was duck meat in everything: duck sausage, duck jambalaya, fried duck. This year, with TCU's Horned Frogs on the platter, it was frog legs galore.

At this very spot, a group of LSU students had created a club of sorts, with a dance floor (under a tarp). Cops were starting to gather nearby. It was hot, there was so much debauchery in the air and kickoff was still two hours away. Long night ahead.

I'm cool with all that. One tiny problem, though: These kids trashed the place. Every cup, can, food container, plate and napkin that had been used for the previous four (five? six?) hours was just tossed on the ground. Real classy-like.
