Not including the game:
1a. 2011-12 National Title Game: I barhopped on bourbon street, almost got in a fight with some Gumps at Beerfest, saw a live band at the Famous Door, saw a live jazz band at the courtyard cafe, had beignets at Du Monde, ate Chargrilled oysters at Oceania and saw an LSU almuni band parade down Bourbon playing "Neck" and cheering "Suck that Tiger dick, Bitch!"

1b. 2009-10 Capital One Bowl: some old LSU fan had to leave the Disney parks early and gave me and a friend of mine all of his fast passes since I was wearing one of my Tiger Band shirts.


Including the game:
3. 2011 vs Oregon:
What a game! Possibly the most fun I've ever had at an LSU game. What holds this trip back is our hotel accomidations. Roy King had the band staying in the airport There was nothing within walking distance, no restaurants that delivered, you had to have a boarding pass to get to the restaurants in the terminal, and you had to either wait an hour for a taxi or catch one of the few shuttles to go anywhere worth being. Screw you, Roy
2. 2011 vs Tennessee:
Just the most pleasant trip I've ever been on. The drive was scenic, the movie selection was good. Our hotel was nice, Knoxville was cool, the Vol fans were courteous and showed up in force, and the game was fun despite being a blowout. Did you know that Tennessee's band learns and plays the opposing team's fight song for the visiting fans during their pregame? Pure class.
1. 2012 vs Arkansas:
I spent thanksgiving night in Fort Smith, AR. I found the one open bar in town after we got off the bus to have a beer and watch the NFL games. While I was there, I met some of the regulars who said they were having live music the following night after the game. After the NFL games were over, I went back to the hotel where we had a delicious Thanksgiving dinner and watched the UT/TCU game. The next day, the exciting and crazy game in Fayetteville followed by a night of barhopping. At one bar known for it's great pizza (and boy did it deliver), I spied a chalk board advertising for an ugly sweater party going down there the following weekend. The skinhead biker next to me saw my LSU hoodie and said as he blew cigarette smoke in my face "If you come to the party in THAT, you'd win..." Then I went to the other bar and had a great night with some really talented musicians.
