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.

King wrote in the late 60's (not published until 1979) and it appears to be an alternate history post WW2 where the US economy is stagnated so hence the 50's/60's rundown esthetic.

Just watched it a couple of nights ago and it's pretty meh. Couldn't take Hamill's portrayal of the Major seriously. Interesting premise that just didn't deliver in the end (a theme it seems with King's works.)

Close...Cressend is from Metairie.

Timed entry permits needed and they book up once released 1 month in advance…however they do release a certain percentage the night before at 7 pm. Just be sure to login to the recreation.gov app a couple minutes before 7 and you should be good.

We were just there 3 weeks ago and got permits easily the night before.

Use the shuttle system if attempting any hikes on Bear Lake corridor. Parking fills up extremely early. Shuttles run every 15 minutes - very convenient.

If up to the hike highly recommend Mills Lake off of Glacier Gorge trailhead.

Catch a sunrise at Sprague Lake. Catch a sunset at Forest Canyon Overlook off Trail Ridge Road.

Enjoy…I love the place and could go back every year if wife would let me.

Should stop in Scott for some boudin.

I'll never forget the older Oklahoma fan sitting in front of me complaining in the 2nd quarter that he drove 12 hours to witness that game in person and had to drive 12 hours back and that the game was over in 20 minutes of game time.

I felt bad and bought the poor bastard a beer in the 3rd quarter.

Are LSU football season tickets considered "significant?"

My family has been sitting in the same seats in the South Endzone since the 50's. My grandfather graduated from LSU in 1934 (have his diploma hanging in the house) and worked for LSU as a county agent and part of his salary package included the seats. My mom casually dropped in conversation one day that she was at the Halloween Night game when Cannon ran the punt back and was watching from those seats as an 18 year old - she'd enroll at LSU the following year.

They got passed down to my Mom in the 80's. They are now passed down to me. My kids are the 4th generation to squeeze their asses into those seats in 407.

Will inherit a significant amount of money to me (7 figures) but hopefully not anytime soon. Hope to be in a position that I can just sit it in the market and allow me to sit back and relax in my later years and hopefully pass it down to my kids (along with the aforementioned football tickets.)

Ryan Clark tried to block me from growing an afro when I as a young white student. My natural hair and all.

I told him to f*ck off then. He can f*ck off today.

Racist prick.
