Bring your own Alcohol.. you just never want to chance that. Bourbon in a camel back works great.
You just can't chance that!
Try and smile a lot... and don't make sudden movements.

Has G. Brooks ever played that in Tiger Stadium? That would be cool live before the game.
I totally agree. I came to LSU with a general dislike for country music and especially the songs played before the football game. Now I know all the lyrics to Callin' Baton Rouge and it's on my iPod. Would love to have it played live.

Without reading any of the thread, with your attitude you will probably get you offers to party with any number of tailgates and hopefully you don't build it up too much so you have unrealistic expectations because that may happen for whatever reason (weather, records, whatever, it happens...) and you might be underwhelmed, but if you just come to have a really good fricking time and the game is secondary (barely) until kick-off and all the other factors play into a great weekend and you are a grateful guest you will be telling your grand-children about it. You might even want to base a novel on it - it can be that fricking amazing.
I've been partying real hard at these games since 1975, did the motorhome thing for about 14 years and still go to all the home games. I've got stories that there's no way you would believe unless you were there.
If I was still doing that I'd invite you and you'd better like to party or you were going to have one miserable time. The motorhome years were 1986-2001. Those were the wild west times. It's why we have rules now.
Now I'll read the thread and see if I was right.

I'd like to respond individually to many who have posted but I'm on the road and don't have the time. Needless to say, a 5 page thread responding to an "enemy" request for help says a lot about the fan base - especially the nature and tone of the responses. I'm even more stoked now for Oct. to roll around. I'm going to have to print this out when I get home and take notes on all the suggestions. Some great stuff in here.
YES - I will leave earlier. I just invited a buddy who happens to be a Mormon which works out well from a designated driver perspective (he's actually a cool guy too). We'll try to leave NO around 9-10AM. Since most of us have never been to NO, I'm not sure we'll physically be able to make it earlier than that.
You guys are awesome. Thanks.
Gators will roll this year again but certainly not like last year. Hopefully you get your QB situation settled and that alone will carry you a long way this year. And yes, I pull for LSU in bowl games as well (along with most other SEC teams other than GA or TN unless they're playing Ohio State, Notre Dame or FSU then I'm SEC all the way regardless).

I'd could respond with equal vile and vigor but kicking your arse in your home stadium will suffice. Go Gators!

I don't think Tebow under center will be as effective as shotgun... actually I suspect Florida will implode this year like Auburn did last year 
Posted on 7/24/09 at 11:01 pm to LSU Tigerhead
Like others, I recommend you leave earlier than noon. I'd be there at 7am if I could

Not sure you're going to see too much of him under center but like everything Meyer does it will be designed to try and keep defenses off balance. Do think we'll see some though to help prep him for NFL. Amazes me how quick people are to dismiss Tebow's passing capabilities. Just look at his stats....

If you're sitting high, you'll be up in my section. It's high...but a great view!
First thing...back off on food for the week before the trip. Staying in NO on Friday will get you started on food and drink. Then find someway to get to BR before 1 or 2 in the afternoon. Then you'll be well fed.
I'd wish you good luck...but I think we're the one's going to need that. Looking forward to the game but prepared for the results.
Welcome and have a great time!

It's almost time!!!
Thanks again for all the responses. Leave tomorrow AM for NO. Have our van rented to get up to BR pretty early. Hopefully the weather cooperates. Sounds like good chance of rain.
Season has been a strange one. Tigers have underperformed my expectations, particularly on defense. UF has struggled a bit in it's passing game mostly due to injury/illness - we'll see how they do Sat. Alabamas been stronger than expected and I know how that makes you guys feel - I agree. Not a Saban fan since he left LSU.
Word on FLA forums is Tebow will play. We're also getting Marsh, a DT back after few weeks of injury. We lost an OT this week to non-contact ACL. Not a starter but in the rotation (Patchan). I'd guess John Brantley starts but Tebow comes in after first series. JB deserves some playing time. He's going to be a star.
My seats are up in the heavens (sect 631) but I don't care. Just stoked to be there. Really looking forward to the experience - I'll report back next week.
If any of you ever travel to the swamp for a game, look me up and I'll buy you a beer. Thanks again.
Jim

Go to the museum by he campus hotel(Lod Cook)
Don't miss the band marching down the hill before the game.
If you are not stationary tailgating, just wander around campus all day enjoying the party.
Go to the motorhome park and you will be well recieved.

That's cool. I'm on alumni side of swamp now and it pisses me off when people don't get up and scream. Lot of old-timers....
