We haven't had one of these in a while so I'd like to remind everybody that pregame traffic will be a shitshow to match the postgame traffic


Postgame traffic after an 11am game is usually pretty easy. A lot of people tailgate after the game, so everyone isn’t trying to leave at once.
We usually find a tailgate or go to a bar and watch the first half of the 2:30 game; then traffic is a non issue

You tube with “Jake hunt call”


Awesome, thanks! LSU has tried to scrub the original botched call out of existence. Hawthorne’s re-recorded version sucks, and is insultingly artificial

Just go watch a clip of the Bluegrass miracle with the radio call audio.


Is the original radio call still out there? Not long after the game, Hawthorne re-recorded his call to correct the mistake. That new version was the one LSU would always use when replaying that highlight.
I hate that they did that.
No one was going to beat Ole Miss that day under their new CFP Participation Banner

I may put this game on just to get a great WTF reaction from my family

they've done it downtown before as well


Brought an Aggie relative to the one downtown at Galvez Plaza a few years ago.

There were a few LSU fans down there as well, probably for the same reason.

I joined the Tiger fans on the perimeter and watched the Aggies go through yell practice. What a bizarre cult. They’re just too damn weird.

Some years back, Ole Miss pushed all visitor parking off campus, and encouraged shuttle use.

One of those perimeter lots was located north of campus at the Oxford Park Commission/FNC Tennis courts. They don't run shuttles to that lot any more, but we still park there. It's been free since they abandoned the shuttle service at that location, and you can walk down the Oxford Depot Trail to campus. It's probably a 20-25 minute walk to campus, but it's a nice walking trail.

Pretty awesome Herbie and Fowler will call 3 of our first 4 games


They could do the 11am Texas game depending on this weekend’s results

I think LSU would have to get into a conference. B12 would be the easiest transition but the road games would suck


This would probably be the most realistic option. The BIG wouldn’t want us (citing academic standards), and the ACC seems to be on the verge of collapsing.

With that, it would suck to get bounced from the SEC.

Went to see this at the theater when it was released, and we had to evacuate halfway through the movie when the fire alarm went off. I never finished watching the movie, so I’ll definitely check this out.

Wasn't it one of the upper deck light poles that went out?


I thought it was one whole side of the stadium, but maybe it was only one or 2 of the towers. It happened a long time ago! It was enough of an outage to make a very noticeable difference on the field.

I think the media tried to brand our defense the “Lights Out D”, thanks to the incident and the Aggie shutout; but that obviously didn’t stick as the season played out. :lol:
It happened during my first game as a Freshman, the opener against A&M in 1988.
LSU ended up winning 27-0, but half the stadium lights went out during the game. They kept playing after a brief stoppage

I thought him & Blair were a great duo for basketball


His postgame with Will Wade was always fantastic and some of the best radio commentary LSU offered. I was looking forward to this in the upcoming season.

One of the few times we’ll see an electric Tiger Stadium crowd while hosting an unranked opponent.

We’ve had some lackluster dud crowds in recent non conference home matchups (UCLA, Syracuse, Washington off the top of my head)

Shouldn’t be a problem for the Clemson game. Lots of excitement and anticipation for this one
At the last home game last year, there was a noticeable decrease in the amount of piped in music, and the band was more prominently featured. So enough people complained and some adjustments were made.

They’ll never get rid of it. It’s unfortunately part of college sports now. My biggest complaint is that the music selection lacks any originality. Outside of “Callin’ Baton Rouge”, it’s just Jock Jams Stadium Rock: the same songs you hear in every stadium.

I wish they would at least mix it up. Play more Louisiana artists and more music from different eras

Anyone ever get a ticket from ole Mike Graham as a cop?


Saw him directing traffic one time at the intersection of Essen and Jefferson Hwy when the traffic light was out. Props to him, because I haven’t seen BRPD do that ever since.

That location’s hot glazed donuts are the best. They’re dangerously close to my house, and it takes an amazing amount of willpower to bypass them on the way to work.

I blame EVERYTHING bad on social media, and the internet.


I blame Jerry Springer. He made public trashiness acceptable and encouraged. A cause for celebration and celebrity.

Instead of being embarrassed by awful behavior, it was promoted. The internet and social media spread the stupidity like a wildfire; that’s why we’re bombarded daily with videos of losers doing terrible things in public spaces.

To the OP, give yourself a break from news and social media for a few days, and you’ll be amazed how much better your mental state will feel

Hammond downtown is a great spot.


Had lunch downtown a few weeks ago with some friends, and I really liked everything they’ve done with downtown.
Plenty of restaurants, shops, bars and businesses. Very walkable with plenty of parking.
It would be a damn shame, but not a complete surprise, to have all that ruined by a small group of thugs that can’t be civilized
That’s batshit crazy, but I admire the commitment to the insanity.
