You all know who I am...I did not say we were coming to drink the town dry. It was meant more as a tourism piece to let them know that LSU was heading their way. I did say that they make their budget for the year with beer sales in the stadium. And yes we are very proud of our LSU contingent making its way to the northeast this weekend.

You are the VP of the Alumni Association?

As I said yesterday in this post, I think it could have been presented in a more more dignified manner than providing a drink list like a waiter.

I get who we are and I get alcohol and tailgating, but this reads like an invite to a Greek challenge day.

Here it is today on CBSsports.com
LSU alumni chair worried Syracuse will run out of alcohol for Tigers fans

via Syracuse.com:

LSU is coming. And it plans to drink this town dry.

Bloody Mary's, mimosas and screwdrivers in the morning at the OnCenter, site of the pregame tailgate for traveling alumni.

"I've gone places in the past where they've run out (of alcohol)," Ramezan said.

Bourbon, Crown Royal, cranberry vodkas and beer during the tailgating at Skytop.

And, yes, Ramezan was aware of the beer and wine sales at the Carrier Dome.

"They might meet their alcohol budget for the year," he said.
