If I am "pitiful" for having those talented "kids" sign my helmet and tell each of them "God Bless" then COLOR ME PITIFUL!!!!

I am not among the throng of A$$holes that booed our boys last or any other year. Direct your ignorant disdain elsewhere, please.

I would recommend it for anyone that doesn't mind meeting extraordinary athletes and taking crap from people who think that their crap smells like roses for not being there.

I had a great time. Got the entire defense and defensive coaches and was at walkons before the thing even ended.
Almost missed out on Kiki Mingo as they pulled him up for an interview as we were going through. But after we were done with the coaches, I went back and explained what happened to the event staff guy, and he happily brought my ball to Mingo to get it signed. I really expected him to tell me to get to the back of the line again.

Honestly, all of them impressed me by being such wonderful ambassadors for LSU.

In fact, I LOVE a candid moment I got to experience while in line for the DB's:

Tyrann Mathieu's Dad came up and asked him to sign the back of his #7 jersey with "DAD" on the back, where the name goes.

He signed it "TO POPS: <his signature>"

Hatcher looks bigger, and Sam Montgomery looks smaller than I expected.

Funny CSB, the 2 guys in front of me got to Anthony Johnson and one guy told Freak, "My buddy is an Alabama fan." AJ told him, "oh I got something for you" and got the guys scorecard he was getting signed, and wrote a "W" in the Bama W/L column!

Honestly, Karnell looks a BUNCH like Kelvin, but I wouldn't want to overreach...

What about people like me? I bring my helmet, football, and mini helmets to get signed for my own collection. In the past two years of going, I have an authentic LSU helmet with PP7, Rueben Randle, Brandon LaFell, Drake Nevis, Kelvin Shep, Ryan Baker, etc... I am actually out of room on it! lol

Negative people suck! Go find a meth head to preach to. I enjoy going to fan day(with my kids not that that matters)! And I promise all those credit card machines aren't meant for the kids!

grown men caring about college kids playing a game...spending time and money following their carrer...then going to the messeage boards to talk about it...pathetic

grow up. so if you save a program of a game, thats cool. if you get the stud player to sign it, weak...biggest bunch of hypocrites...

You can bet the bank there will be atleast a 500 of these a-hole there. 4 Footballs in one arm and two helments in the other. For what? So he can turn around and sell it on EBAY for about a cool Grand.


I don't think the 40+ guys in jerseys are selling it on e-bay. they are all LSU. It's what they live for

A lot of 50y/o men stalking players for auto's. Never understood it but to each his own I guess.
