For the record, we originally had Nevada in this game slot but they dropped out to play Notre Dame instead. Apparently LSU was the only school with an opening still this weekend. I'm sure it helped the cause that our current President and AD are former LSU employees. See you at the tailgate.

I'm here.
U, U, U, U DUB!!!
Nice, good plan. I would hit up Sushi Bay on Dexter which is south lake union/westlake area. Cheap and real good, small little joint. Probably a $10 cab ride tops from your hotel.
Speaking of fun attractions this week, any of you Tigers getting tickets to the Seahawks game on Thursday night? Qwest is loud and we're playing our hated old division rival Raiders. Pre-season I know, but would still be a blast.
From the airport to the Westin. I would try riding the Light Rail Link. It's really new so I haven't had a chance to use it yet but it's supposed to be super convenient. Should drop you off a block from the Westin and cost you like $2.50 and take a 1/2 hour I would guess. Give it a shot.

Take it to Westlake, right around the corner from the Westin.

You want my opinion, forget Sushi next to Safeco. Get that sometime later in the week downtown or something. Hit up Sluggers before the game, it's one of the best sports bars in Seattle, right across the alley from Qwest Field (which is next door to Safeco). Get some bar food and big beers there, it's a good time.

very good effort with the smack talk. I like it. Its got to be hard to do though, especially when we just have to post this pic and all conversations come to a halt.

I don't have a snappy photo to display but we have two rings too. Not as recent as '03 and '07, but we got 'em.

The Washington Ferry is always a fun attraction. Ride the Bainbridge ferry and check out Poulsbo for lunch or something. From the ferry you'll get great downtown and Mt Rainier views. It'd be a fun day trip. Rainier would be cool if you're looking to get a hike in or something though Mt Si would be an easier option for that.

Dawg fan here. Not much love for the Dawgs offense, I think this will be a high scoring affair on both ends and I think the spread is pretty accurate.....LSU 41-24.

For the fun of it I'd like to ask what you Tiger faithful think I should hope for for my Dawgs to stay in this one? A young Jefferson's success not carrying over from the GT win? A new Defensive scheme that hasn't caught on yet? LSU overlooking a hungry UW team? I look forward to those who will humor me here. Go Dawgs!!

:cheers:

Interesting choice, never been there myself. FYI, that area is kind of the seedy part of town.

Hello Tiger Fans!

A loyal Husky fan here who wanted to pipe in and describe his enthusiasm for my first SEC anything experience. I'm excited for this game/tailgate more than most others. I look forward to mingling/bantering with the LSU faithful as I can only imagine how well you LSU (and most likely all SEC) fans will travel to see your team. The Husky faithful embrace away teams that travel well, just tell them how much you hate the Oregon ducks and they'll take you in with open arms, ha!

I don't want to read all posts so I'll answer a few Seattle questions I read at the end of this thread.

Gameday drinking. Keep your drink in a cup and don't flaunt your booze/beer and the Fuzz will leave you alone. They aren't ignorant just trying to keep order. For the best tailgating/long tenured/most faithful fanbase visit the South Parking Lot. The grassy area in the far South end is the most entertaining (IMO) and people are very friendly.

Late night eats. For 24 hour accomodations Beth's Cafe (featured on Man vs. Food) is the place. Great breakfast spot that serves unlimited hash browns that are delicious. On Aurora in North Seattle, any cabbie will know where it is. If you're eating before 1am hit up one of five Dick's Burgers locals, a Seattle staple for greasy burgers. Cash only though.


I look forward to jabbering with some Tigers come Saturday, go Dawgs!! See you at Tigers Stadium in '11.
