My trip to Baton Rouge has been great. We were welcomed and treated very well. The folks that sat in front of us in 630 were very nice and spoke to us a lot once the game was in hand.

I hate I didn’t get to experience it at its peak but Tiger Stadium is very impressive. The place is massive and is the only stadium I’ve been to in person that rivals Neyland. The concourses are much nicer and roomier than Neyland. If you’ve been to Knoxville you know what I mean.

Heck of a weekend. Thanks for the hospitality.

I had a good trip to Knoxville in 2011 when LSU won 38-7. It's a good time watching your team take another team's soul in their own stadium.

Don’t be a douche. Your life won’t be so miserable. Try it for a week and see what happens

Yes I do - very cramped, but aside from that Knoxville has always consistently been my favorite SEC road venue. Glad you enjoyed the experience, sorry we could not give you a more competitive game or a night game experience but I'm sure you are fine with the outcome.

Glad you had fun, I wish we could have put up more of a fight on the field. Hopefully they can figure the schedule out so we run into each other more than once or twice in a decade.

The Tennessee fans I encountered at the game were very nice. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for the group of Vol fans seated next to us at dinner on Saturday night. They insisted on doing a little parade around the restaurant singing "it's great to be a Tennessee Vol." They were ignored by most until an elderly LSU fan stood out and politely confronted them. He congratulated them on the win and wished them a safe trip home, then proceeded to remind them that they should be a bit more humble considering that Tennessee football hasn't been nationally relevant in over 20 years, and that during that span, LSU has won the SEC 4 times and won 3 national titles. That shut them up pretty quick.

Agree! It’s insanity we only play every 5-6 years and only play in BR 10-12 years. Hopefully that changes soon

It was our first trip to Tiger Stadium as well.

We had a great time. The fans were very welcoming and respectful to us.

The only negative situation we saw (and we actually got a kick out of it). We were walking back to our vehicle after the game. A drunk guy screamed down from a 5th floor balcony apartment..."YOU MF'ERs LOOK LIKE A BUNCH OF F'ING TRAFFIC CONES."

We had a lot of Vols at out tailgate and they were great. We met a lot of assholes Vols on the way to the stadium. They acted like they have won a ton of championships already. I pointed to our championship square, and they said what is that. I said, it is a nice list of actual championships, when you get that you can be proud of it. Being proud of your team is great, being an arrogant a-hole when you haven't won anything yet is just stupid. Maybe it was just a group of baseball fans.

We did have some great Vol fans at our campground. Really nice folks. They were very happy last night, as they shoule be

Glad you had a good time.

Tennessee has a hell of team this year and your QB is going to take you places.

Tennessee & LSU fans usually mix pretty good. Both love Andrew Jackson & hate Alabama.

So did I. We sang rocky top as loud as they sang calling Baton Rouge.
