Tiger TBone

Man, you got that right. I always said that Saban would have blown a gasket dealing with the Katrina adversity.

He is everything we could want for a coach to be. And he's a really decent guy and family man.

I've had my WTF moments with him like everyone else but his record is nothing short of amazing for being in the SEC and LSU consistently getting hosed with the toughest schedules.

I hope we see a huge Tiger win Saturday. That is when I will say it doesn't get much better than this. A lot of Dawg fans I know are poor losers and even worse winners. I still remember that last play loss in 1999 in Sanford and we were taunted several times walking out with shouts of "Dawgs kicked your arse!" REALLY? One point loss at the very end? Almost as bad as the Ramma Jammas.

We need a big win to keep the pooches under the porch around here. See you Saturday!

Duly noted. Sorry if it violated a rule.

Thanks!

We are healthy on the front end of a murderous SEC run. I think we roll Saturday, but if our O line takes some injury hits Mett may not have that much pocket time down the line.

The real test is how we stand up in November.

See y'all in Athens Saturday!

LSU INVADES ATHENS TAILGATE PARTY

More power to ya Tigerman. We know lots of folks are flying in and don't have tailgate stuff with them, also it's almost impossible to get near campus to tailgate if you are a visitor. Many choose to hit the bars on Broad Street instead. New Earth is a couple blocks above that strip and will be 100% LSU friendly so it is a GREAT option.

The legion of LSU fans over here in Jawja want to make sure our P&G brethren have a place where they will be welcomed and can party with two or three hundred other rabid fans.

Have fun!

Brewhan Davey? ROTFLMAO!

One of my all time fave Tigers. What a competitor! I was pleased to meet him in ATL when he came to one of our alumni functions. He had a girlfriend in town and was talking about getting serious with her. Not sure if they ever took the next step. She was as hot as a tight spiral.

:pimp:

Taco Mac

That's where the lion's share of people will be. If you want a large crowd with a mix of fans right next to the dome, that's your best bet. We've hung out in that spot every time we've been to Atlanta, never been let down. Go to Buckhead after the game.

---

That place is convenient and it gets really congested. There's Dantana's in the same area that is more upscale but both charge a notch above normal as tourist traps.

Keep in mind that LSU Atlanta has arranged with Park Bar one block away to be the REAL TIGERS Fan HQ. And they offer better drink prices. If you like liquor you can get a 3-2-1 Special - Triple shot for the price of the double in one glass.

If you come in Sunday go to Park Bar that night after The Hat's radio show for the best scene and there will be a trivia contest and door prize giveaways around 10 ish.

One more important reason to consider partying with us at least part of your time here: Park Bar is donating a portion of all sales this weekend to LSU Atlanta's scholarship fund. Taco Mac, Dantana's and the rest couldn't care less what fans they bring in.

Have Fun!

Yessir. We set up two gathering places, one in Buckhead (Buckhead Saloon) and another downtown (Sidebar, our tailgate HQ for the weekend). We have a whole Fan Guide with details. Doo Dah Link:

LSU ATLANTA'S SEC CHAMPIONSHIP FAN GUIDE

See you there!

IS that pitypat's porch restaurant any good?

---

Me and wifey have eaten there several times. Very few places in town really represent the Southern culture and this place does a good job with both atmosphere and food. Decor is Old South (Pittypat's is a reference to Gone With The Wind) and the food is a fusion of traditional style with some new South tweaking by the chef. Fried chicken is very good and the sides are all spot on. Several menu options meat pork and fish too. Salad bar is remarkable in that it has several things you hardly ever see...Hoppin' John, pickled watermelon, bean salad, etc. They bake their rolls and cornbread on site and the baker has been with them for over 20 years.

It's not cheap but not overly priced compared to other downtown restaurants, but note that they have a buffet special on Saturday starting at 10:30 am that I will be all over. Ribs, pulled pork, chicken 2 ways plus hot bar and salad bar for only $15.95 per plus those drink specials. They pour an honest shot too, the hurricane is a good Cat 2 intensity LOL.

There will be lots of LSU people in there Saturday, the alumni charter group is staying at the Westin across the street and will be taking advantage of this deal.

Have fun. Come see us at Sidebar Friday or Saturday too. If you want bar fare food the Cuban sandwich at Sidebar is pretty darn good.

Travel safe.
