Thanks for the info Cliff :geauxtigers:

I will be staying at the Embassy suites by the Airport south and was wondering were to go for the Friday night?

I know about the Tiger Fan Jam, which I went to last year and had a blast, but will not get into town till at least 10pm unfortunately this year. I don't want to pay $20 cover charge for only half the event.

I hear J. Gilligans will have a massive tailgate party on the day of, but will they have something LSU related the night before?

Help is appreciated. Thanks & :geauxtigers:

ALL UP IN THIS B--OTCH!!!

LSU!!...LSU!!...LSU!!...LSU!!

The drive on 71 from Shreveport to Fort Smith is TERRIBLE..Large portions are very scenic but a Son of a Gun..

---

You are speaking the truth, but after Fort Smith the rest of the drive is Gravy.

You should stop going this way. It takes so much longer than 55 through St Louis

---

Going that way for me adds 160 miles to the trip and about 2 hours so it doesn't make sense for me. I'm coming from Abbeville not Baton Rouge

I have made the drive 3 times round trip. Every time I took the same route. Shreveport, Texarkana, Fort Smith, Fayetteville, Kansas City to Omaha.

I'm leaving from Abbeville though, so it makes no sense to go through Memphis for me. From BR I would prolly do Memphis route.

Warning though: from Texarkana to Fort Smith is terrible. Slower driving cause you going up the mountain and back down(about 3 hours) and you could get stuck behind a slow driver making it worse.

But if you have a radar detector, GPS and don't mind driving fast, it takes me about 15 hours with minimal stops. After Fort Smith its easy and quick driving the rest of the way(four lane US hwy).

This year however I'm gonna try a route that's about 30miles longer but no Mountain. Shreveport to Tyler to Tulsa straight up to KC then Omaha. We'll see how that goes. I'm tired of that mountain.

Reading the earlier thread, I was thinking there were way too many players left out just because it was one team of just players during Mainieri era.

So I put together two 27 man rosters(what you have for post season). Purple and Gold world series. Which team do you take or would you make changes.

FYI: all stats are LSU career through Mainieri era only and up until today.

My suggestions would be to get what you can and then try to move to your ideal spot through the years. Nothing wrong with starting in the Uppers, at least you will be at the games.

---

This is a great suggestion. If you try to wait for good seats, you'll be waiting forever. Get what you can when offered then apply for move every year.

Also, it's not 1pt per $1000, it's 2pts per $1000

So for $500 given in Jan. you get 4 phil pts total. 3 bns pts + 1 pt
