I thought it was very good
7.5/10.
When I first started going to the games in the late 1960s we used to play them in Baton Rouge every year. We used to sit in the southeast corner above the visitor’s section. As children we used to get a kick out of making fun of the male cheerleaders with the hand signals.
My first year having a pass for that lot, but it took an hour to get out after the Clemson game as we stayed at both games until almost the end when the stadium was 75% empty.

It will be a slap on the wrist.
I was talking to people today who told me that the Oxford police were giving LSU fans citations for MIP for taking beer out of the trunk of the car without taking a can out of the case.
And with good reason. They have serious problems over there.
Mine worked better than it has in recent years.
Yes.
But if that.
were possible it would have been done already.
40 minutes to get out of Alex Box lot.
Good pass protection resulting in accurate passing but I will settle for a win.
That always happens and then we go and add an extra game. It’s all about the money.

I have been to Galatoire’s with football game gear on. I just take a coat off the rack. They have black ones to match your black and gold. This is allowed and encouraged on game days.

re: The SEC Won't Exist in 5 Years

I see two major conferences, the SEC and the Big 10. The rest will be in the minor leagues.
That is what we used to do before I got a parking pass. If you get there real early you can park for free at UHigh. Next best is to pay to park at one of the lots along Dalrymple such as the Methodist church. For the big games like this one they fill up early.

As for the options you mentioned, we park south of the stadium in the Alex Box lot and have more trouble getting out of the parking lot than we do driving on the street. We take Nicholson to Gonzalez.
I would park and go somewhere within walking distance to the Superdome.
The whole French Quarter is within walking distance.
Galatoire's is our favorite. You can borrow a coat at the front door.

And a little closer is Domenica in the Roosevelt. For night games we usually go to the wine and pizza happy hour at Domenica but the timing doesn't work for the 3:30 game.

Even closer is the Copper Vine next to Walk On's.
True. That is one of the benefits of the ocean cruise.

Our first Viking cruise was in the Bordeaux region of France and they made available to us some fantastic and expensive wines that were not on the regular wine list.
On the Grand European they had some very good wines from the countries we were visiting.
On the ocean cruise, we just had the regular wine list.
In Santorini, we drove through scenic vineyards on the way to Oia and were given rave reviews of the quality of the wines.
Back on board, I asked a bartender in the atrium lounge if they had any wines from Santorini. His response was “Where is Santorini “. When I informed him that we were in Santorini at that very moment, he got the head bartender who told me that we had not a single bottle of Greek wine on board.
I found that surprising because the first five days of the cruise were in Greece.
No problem. The French and Italian wines did just fine.
Most of that corresponds with my experience.
We should be pursuing frivolous lawsuit claims but if they are talking about ending this nonsense, maybe that is a good thing.

ETA
If the SEC refuses to disimess it then screw them. The only reason we can’t pursue this for frivolous lawsuit damages is because they forum shopped this to Alabama.
