We will have a lot of stupid threads with fans on both sides trying to measure their dicks against each other, so I thought I would post something actually helpful.
I know a thread like this gets posted every other year (or there about), but given how often Bama seems to convert people who know nothing about college football into fans, I figure there is likely a number of people who haven't seen it before.
Warning; this will be a lot of text, but don't worry Bama fans, I plan to include pictures for you to make it easier.
Sadly this year Bama fans will not be able to visit Mike the Tiger, as he has lost his battle with cancer. However, if you wish to see Tigers live, the Audubon Zoo in New Orleans is widely regarded as one of the best zoos in America. In 2012, TripAdvisor ranked it the #10 Zoo in America. Don't worry though, LSU will get another live mascot. I understand that Alabama is the Crimson Tide but has an elephant mascot, likely inspired by a Bama grad admiring the majestic animal during its period (or some shite, I don't get how the hell you go from a Crimson Tide to an elephant).
For reference: LSU.
Alabama.
While in New Orleans, you can stop by the Mercedes Benz Superdome to see the Saint's Super Bowl Banner.
For those unaware, the Super Bowl is the NFL's championship. As crazy as it sounds, there is life after college football. I would recommend stopping by, as in Alabama, you will never see one of these yourself (you know, cause you don't have an NFL team).
Not far from the Superdome is the Smoothie Center, which will host the NBA All-Star game this season. You can watch the best players in the world from LeBron James, Kevin Durant, or New Orlean's own Anthony Davis.
The Pelicans currently have Alonzo Gee, the former Crimson Tide, on their team. Though none of the 3 former Tide players are likely to be at the All-Star Game. Plus leave your robes and hoods at home though, it is normal for there to be that many black players. You would know this if you had your own NBA team.
While in New Orleans, enjoy some of our 4 star hotels and spas, as rated by Forbes magazine (4 star hotels are those really fancy ones, not the Motel 6's and such). The Ritz-Carlton or Windsor Court are both very nice. Both include 4 star spas as well, if you want to treat your cousin-wife to a nice relaxing time. There is also several 4 star restaurants as rated by Forbes, but you can't go wrong with most places. Commander's Palace, Emeril's, and several others are amazing. Acme Oyster House gets featured several times on the Food Channel and Travel, making it a good safe choice.
I tried to look up an 4 or 5 star hotels/spas/restaurants in Alabama for reference but it seems you guys still don't have any. If you want to feel at home we can help though. We have plenty of fine dining from Alabama.
I hope this guide helps and we look forward to seeing you at the game.

The only purpose for the NFL is to motivate our guys to play better. The better they play the more millions they make.

Really just hoping not to get shot in Nola or BR.

I wouldn't brag about having the saints. They've always been a joke.

Did you photoshop the asterisk (*) out of that 2009 Super Bowl banner? Seems like you did.

We can not make any promises on that one. If you see a pitbull chained to another pitbull, you have left the safe space.

So.... Baton Rouge sucks, and only New Orleans has anything to do worthwhile.
We all kinda already knew that.

I read it. Pretty funny. It is ok, i want you guys to enjoy these next couple of weeks, because come game time, your arse is Bama's. Bama is better in all aspects of the game and coaching. It is going to be an arse whooping in your stadium ,the like which you guys haven't seen in a long time. Bama defense will shut down LF once again. Nobody runs on Bama, forcing Etling to throw and turn the ball over and throw a pick six. Bama's defense will outscore LSU's offense. I can't wait to see the look on your faces after a quarter when you realize LSU is just another team that is getting beat down by Bama and Saban. Then I will watch your stadium empty out, and chants of Roll Tide will echo throughout death valley. So have at it. I'll tell you like i told UT fans, this your time, it will not be this good for you in a long, long, time.

Baton Rouge .... the loveliest toxic waste dump on the Mississippi.
Of course you think it's nice since half your state is a swamp.
