See? That didn’t take long. Already have an invite to a tailgate.

No one is going to really frick with you, even if you’re wearing the opposing team’s shite, you’ll get some ribbing.

Since you don’t have a dog in the fight, score some LSU shite on or near campus and you definitely won’t get fricked with.

Get there early, the earlier the better. Our ritual is breakfast at chimes, hit bengals and bandits if we have some new folks with us, wander to the bookstore on campus, then hit our tailgate spots.

Walk the campus, walk the tailgates. They are everywhere. Introduce yourself to someone who’s running a decent sized tailgate and they will probably feed you.

I’d suggest getting a decent spot for the tiger walk. It’s pretty cool. I’d also suggest checking out Mike. It’s a fricking tiger, what more needs to be said?

I prefer being up high, on or near the 50, with a chair back. I know what I’m looking at and that’s the best vantage point, imo. Visitors side will get tons of sun. If you aren’t into the actual GAME and want the atmosphere, sit lower. The student section can get rowdy. And for all that is holy, MAKE SURE IT’S A NIGHT GAME!

I don’t have a problem with travel ball as a whole. Kids as young as this don’t need a travel ball team. They need a decent rec park nearby that has a litany of sports.

If a kid is 12 or so and is taking it a bit more seriously, sure. If not, go hang out at the park and play every sport they offer.

Edit: and I say this as a cheer dad until my daughter realized it was kind of futile and a waste of money.

I coached an under 6yr old coach pitch for a couple of years and did something similar. I rotated every kid at almost every position, save 3: “pitcher” first base, SS. SS/pitcher got some pepper balls sent their way and I spent the entire season teaching some of the more inclined kids at first to actually play first.

Half the season was rough, but by the midway point, I had kids throwing the ball from the infield to first with tons of success. Keep in mind, every other player would play every other position except for those three and it was for safety, and to help improve more inclined kids. If your kid stepped up, he’d be in the rotation.

Had a dad that swore little Johnny could play those spots. I tried to hide him at SS because the “pitcher” got the majority of the plays. After watching Johnny throw a fit because he missed several balls, dad complained his kid should play pitcher.

Moved that poor kid there and first batter smacks a line drive straight to his face. These were soft core balls but it still split his eye wide open. I ran to the kid’s aid and no shite, the dad blamed me for not having the kid prepared.

I started with 2.5 kids that could play those three positions, and by the end of the season 7 kids could play 2 of them, and 3 kids could actually play first. Our record was not the best, but those kids learned and had a blast. That dad, not so much…

Edit: this was park ball, not this crazy arse travel ball shite. The kid that was the best at 1B wound up playing tackle for Michigan and became a doctor. Another couple of kids played in high school around the city, but I don’t think they ever played D1. I guess I failed, lol.

LSU beat UF in 97

Hartley’s kick

All of 2019

That game in the dome in 2011 that we don’t mention, that was against a team that shouldn’t have fricking been there.

Is it them?

This fricks.

Christian miller looks like the great gazoo if he played football for the Saints.

We suck at punting again.
