Where is 'victory hill'? I went to LSU for the LSU vs. Bama game and do not recall seeing any hills at all (Louisiana seems like a flat state).

The main part of the LSU campus is just above the flood plain of the Mississippi River. The stadium is on the flood plain, and there is a drop of several feet from the rest of campus. The band marches downhill from the band hall to the stadium, hence, "Victory Hill." The "Hill" is somewhat tongue-in-cheek.

There are rolling hills in parts of the state, particularly from just west of Monroe to Shreveport and down toward Alexandria.
