Stadium Rat is a legendary internet user on the TigerDroppings.com forums who permanently altered Louisiana culinary culture by creating the world-famous Jambalaya Calculator.

The Jambalaya Calculator
On the TigerDroppings Food and Drink Board, Stadium Rat solved a universal problem for Southern tailgaters: scaling up jambalaya for large gatherings without ruining the recipe.

The Problem: Normal recipe scalers do not account for the high-stakes liquid ratios required for massive pots, often yielding mushy rice or overflowing cast-iron setups.

The Excel Solution: He engineered a multi-tabbed Excel spreadsheet that flawlessly computes the precise mathematical ratios of meat, rice, produce, seasonings, and water.
Dynamic Scaling: Cooks can scale recipes for up to 25-gallon pots using different constraints:
By Servings: Enter the number of guests to get the perfect ingredient math.
By Pot Size: Enter the size of the cast iron pot to know exactly where the fill line will land.
By Meat/Rice: Input what you already have on hand, and it tells you how much of everything else you need.

Evolution into an App What started as a forum file share quickly became the gold standard for backyard cooks, competition chefs, and LSU tailgaters. The community relied heavily on the spreadsheet for over a decade, paired with an authentic Gonzales-style recipe from fellow user pochejp. Due to its massive cult status, the tool officially transitioned into the standalone Jambalaya Calculator iOS App on the Apple App Store, allowing users to scale recipes, export shopping lists, and track batch notes right from their phones.

Online Legacy Active on TigerDroppings since the mid-2000s, Stadium Rat remains a foundational figure of the site’s food board. He continues to maintain the board's official download threads, digital cookbooks, and culinary tools.

Whoever did it should’ve done it years prior and saved the state, possibly.

There was an old story in my family that my grandfather was at a meeting where everybody pulled straws to see who would do it. Weiss got the short straw, I guess, though it was not revealed to the group at the time.

I told this to my La. history professor at LSU (Carlton) after class one day and he said he had heard that story several times before.

FWIW.

1979 LSU-USC. Great atmosphere and game. That 79 USC team was the most talent laden I’ve ever seen play in Tiger Stadium.

So loud I could feel vibrations in my stomach. Phantom face mask penalty and offsides no-call on the same play.

Many forget, but the game ended with an LSU pass to the end zone that would have won it.

no it hasnt..... yeast has been coming and going from that mummys guts for 1000s of years though.

If it was frozen, it wasn't growing and it wasn't coming and going.

I would try it, assuming they cultured the yeast in sterile conditions to get enough to make bread out of.

Semolinas Shrimp Roban
or BBQ chicken pasta or cheeseburger pasta or pad thai or everything else on that menu. The GOAT

See the collection of Semolina's recipes in the download thread at the bottom of page 1 on this board.

Crawfish or Shrimp Roban

1 lb fresh crawfish tails (or shrimp)
2 cups Roban sauce (below)
1 ½ lbs cooked pasta
¼ cup chopped green onion

Roban Sauce
¼ cup butter
2 Tbs garlic
1 cup chopped green onions
1 quart heavy cream
1 Tbs blackened redfish seasoning

Seafood Roban
1 Tbs oil
2 oz fresh fish, cut into cubes
2 oz scallops
2 oz shrimp
1 cup Roban sauce (above)
2 cups cooked pasta shells
2 Tbs chopped green onions
Parsley
Crushed red pepper to garnish

Place butter, garlic and green onion in a sauce pot and cook just until the garlic releases it flavor.

Add heavy cream and cook until reduced by nearly one-half. When reduced, the sauce should heavily coat the back of the spoon. Add blackened redfish seasoning and adjust with more spice to taste.

Place the oil and the seafood in a sauté skillet and cook until the seafood is ¾ done. Add the Roban sauce and bring to a boil. Pour the sauce and seafood over the pasta and garnish with the remaining ingredients.

Tips
Seafood Roban uses fresh fish, scallops and shrimp. Use the sauce recipe above.

If you use a vacuum sealer and freeze in bags, you can re-heat it by putting the bag in a pot of boiling water. Might be more convenient in a camping situation or a location without a microwave.
