I was at the game in Tuscaloosa last year and it was a top 5 college football experience for me over the last 25 years. The tailgaiting crowds were fantastic, the stadium was electric, and the slobberknocker of a game came down to the wire for the Tigers.

I'm sure all of you Bama fans in Baton Rouge had the same kind of experience yesterday, with great tailgating, the loudest stadium atmosphere in the history of college football, getting puckered up in the second half, with an unbelievable 4th quarter drive to steal the win.

As someone who loves college football more than any other sport, I know how much fun it was to be a Bama fan in Baton Rouge last night.


Looking forward to many upcoming battles in the Saban/Miles era, see you in Tuscalossa.

Without a doubt the top experience I've had at an away game. We walked up to check a score at a tailgate and ended up getting stuffed with food and beer. Great people. Great food. Besides a few friendly tiger baits I only had one bad word sent my way. Incredibly impressed by the fans, atmosphere, and everything.

The stadium, to me, didn't seem as unhinged and crazy as I thought it would be. Is this accurate? Seems like 2010 was more off-the-chain..

Just by watching the game on television I could tell that Tiger Stadium was the toughest place we have played in for a long time. That was insane.

The second half last night was the the greatest atmosphere I've ever been a part of, much more than 2010. I'm in the SEZ lower bowl and had a hard time talking to the people around me, which is crazy even for a big game.

I'd like to get 4-5 more games out of these guys to turn this into a real rivalry.

I was told multiple times that Saban had already agreed to be the Browns HC.

Special thanks to the awesome LSU fan tailgating next to our group that shared his peach moonshine with me. it was delish.

It was a good atmosphere for sure, but, I knew we would still walk away with the W. Even a tough place like LSU can not stop this train.

Tiger Stadium has always been my favorite away venue. Unreal.

Couldn't make it because I was in San Antonio for work, but the people I know who went didn't have a great time.

One was a fraternity brother of mine, and the other was a neighbor who is married with kids.

Fraternity brother had a coke bottle hit him, and something with cheese(guessing nachos) hit him in the the head. He was next to the SS section.

The married neighbor with kids says he was cussed at in front of wife and kids, and a few "suck my tiger Ds" yelled at his wife that were up close and personal in front of his kids. Was threatened multiple times. He said at one point he was panic mode. Funny thing is he's a Baton Rouge native, and his wife is the UA alum. The guy just got back from his 3rd deployment from Afghanistan, walks with a cane because of his service.

I've always heard negative things about Lsu, but wrote it off as rumors and exaggerations of sensitive fans.

Great game, but its a shame that things like this happen
