Any bar/restaurants recommended for game day in Lexington? Leaving Thursday after work. Buffalo Trace tour booked for Friday afternoon but otherwise we will be roaming.

Had 2 tickets secured through LSU. Had to buy one additional. Snagged one after they lost to Bama in week 2 for face value. Just looked again, tickets are more expensive now on average than the Bama/UGA game. Should be a good atmosphere. My wallet is glad I didn’t wait until week of.

Even the BoomBoom T Shirt Cannon was malfunctioning last night. Amateur hour from stadium production team.

This all being said I’d expect as detail oriented as Kiffin tends to be that things like the piped in music being played while LSU is on offense will be addressed.

During the Clemson game he was visibly upset with band playing 1st down Cheer while trying to go uptempo near goal line.

LSU’s 1st scoring drive last night we gained a 1st down inside the five, went uptempo to the line and the band stayed silent.

Lane did get the message to the band…

1st touchdown drive in North Endzone we got a 1st down inside of 5. Went tempo, band did not play the 1st down cheer.

Guess he will be scheduling a meeting with the DJ booth this week.

Kiffin addressed on teleconference with media earlier.

Basically said the goal was to make Ole Miss drive the length of field as much of their offensive success was from explosives.

Said it was actually working on 1st and 2nd downs...problem was Chambliss on 3rd downs making tight window/quick release throws. Pointed to his success against Georgia last year when they took a more aggressive approach on defense and got burned. Tipped the cap to Chambliss and said he is an older, mature QB who is in control of the offense no matter what the defense throws at him.

Happened on LSU’s first touchdown in North endzone. LSU made a 1st down near goal line. LSU band starts playing “1st Down Cheer” as the offense is lining up quickly to snap the ball.

Lane was running down the sideline waving at the band to shut the hell up.

Was an issue a couple of times during the game with how fast they want to go offensively. Imagine him and the band director will be having a quick meeting this week based off of his reactions last night.

Just bought a 2026 Frontier after having Silverado's since the early 2000's.

Scared off from GM's due to known engine/transmission issues. Have a friend that bought a 2024 Silverado and the transmission blew in under 20k miles.

Last kid I have is starting to drive so longer need a full size for the room. Shopped the mid-size market the last couple of years and settled on the Frontier over the Tacoma. Liked the traditional V6 and runs about 8 - 10k cheaper than the Toyota.

So far so good. Does what I need a truck to do.

2018 Georgia was an impressive showing but they didn't take over. If anything their presence riled up the LSU home contingent even more.

In the Southwest endzone there were more opposing fans then normal. Had a group of UGA fans behind us and early their running back hit the hole and trucked a safety filling the hole for a 1st down. They all celebrated by starting to loudly bark.

The drive finished with the fake punt and Delpit blasting the holder/kicker (whoever it was) short of the 1st down. Our whole section started "yelping" like a dog being whipped.

The yelping continued for 4 quarters. Georgia fans were leaving en masse by the middle of the 4th quarter.

Thanks for coming, spending money, have a safe trip home. Fun day.

Story time…my family has been season ticket holders since the 40’s. Same lower southwestern endzone seats my grandfather had. As a child in the 80’s the magic grabbed me…only to begin that ugly run in the 90’s where it felt impossible to see another flag flying next to 1958.

We put ticket requests in for the BCS championship game after traveling to the SEC championship but were denied as we weren’t high in the ranking pecking order. Disappointed but would still get to watch LSU play for a national championship on tv…never thought that would happen.

Until one day in the middle of the work week my mom called me unexpectedly…”you’ll never believe the phone call I just got from the LSU ticket office. They put 300 tickets into a lottery for season ticket holders who weren’t selected the 1st time and we were pulled for 2 tickets!”

I thought it was a scam. It wasn’t. Have those championship tickets framed with the 7 other home games, Ole Miss road game (Eli fell down and we laughed) and SEC championship ticket for 2003.

Funny thing is the 2 tickets we got weren’t even on the same row. They literally might have been the last 2 tickets distributed by LSU. Didn’t matter at all while watching something I never thought I’d see in my life. Every LSU fan in the building that night was family.

The exact same team (Tulsa) had this same issue last year and at least one team they eliminated issued protests. Little League denied the protests in 2025.

This year, multiple teams issued protests before playing said Oklahoma team. A couple were denied but eventually one was upheld as it was based on filing improper paperwork on residency requirements. Basically fraud.

Oklahoma figured they got away with it last year...might as well give it another shot.

A shame youth sports gets to this point but people will always try to skew/cheat the system if given the opportunity.

2000 Tennessee gets a lot of love coming off of the loss to UAB the week before and starting to right the ship...

Later in the season though the home game against Miss State gets forgotten. Unranked LSU hosting #13 MSU.

LSU finds itself down 31 - 17 in 2nd half and rallies to win in overtime. Crowd wouldn't let the Tigers lose that night and kept the positive momentum of Saban's first year rolling.
