What is the tailgate situation like? It'll be our first game at Tiger Stadium

---

I'm curious to see the on-campus tailgating turnout as well. Traditionally, the game after Thanksgiving (either Friday or Saturday) has a lower tailgating turnout, but with the successful season and a high desire to beat Texas A&M soundly after last year's OT fiasco, there should be plenty of folks on campus eager to absorb the final home game of the regular season.

1. Traffic can be worse than you think, so I'd get to campus as early as possible. For a 6:00pm game, I'd suggest as early as 11am to noon. This will allow you to wander around campus, see a few tailgates, Mike the Tiger, the band marching down the hill, and get inside the stadium early enough to experience all the pregame festivities. Grabbing lunch at either Walk On's or Chimes is also a good option.

2. Incorporate something into your outfit to denote you're from out of town. Whether it's a college or pro team, LSU fans love when football fans from around the country travel just to experience an LSU game day.

3. It's a veteran move to BYOB. LSU fans will certainly feed you if you're polite, introduce yourself and strike up a conversation, but generosity only extends so far. Don't be a mooch and bring your own booze.

4. For this game especially, know the basics of the 7OT debacle from last year in College Station. A simple, "We got screwed by the refs" line will quickly endear you to other tailgaters.

How big is your group? How old are you? Some of that can play a factor in what you look for on a game day.

Advice:

1. I'd get to campus as early as possible. For an 8:00pm game, I'd suggest as early as 11am to noon. This will allow you to wander around campus, see a few tailgates, Mike the Tiger, the band marching down the hill, and get inside the stadium early enough to experience all the pregame festivities. As others have mentioned, grabbing lunch (and some A/C) at either Walk On's or Chimes is also a good option.

2. Wear an outfit to denote you're from out of town (just not Ole Miss apparel). Whether it's a college or pro team, LSU fans love when football fans from around the country travel just to experience an LSU game day.

3. It's a veteran move to BYOB. LSU fans will certainly feed you if you're polite, introduce yourself and strike up a conversation, but generosity only extends so far. Don't be a mooch and bring your own booze.

Week 10 CFB Schedule

Very unlikely LSU @ Bama gets Gameday. It will be Oklahoma @ Ok. State, but other possible Gameday sites include:

-Clemson @ NC State
- Penn St. @ Michigan St.
- Stanford @ Washington
- Va Tech @ Miami

LSU lost by 30 to Miss State & lost to Troy. They shouldn't be part of Gameday this season.

Just a reminder Lindsey Scott was 4th on QB depth chart

JUCO brah. Get. Over. It. He's obviously worse than Etling, Brennan, Narcisse etc. or else he would still be on the team.

Only thing I don't understand is why you can't have a tablecloth? Lol

Tablecloths could assist in hiding common-alcohol sources...my only guess.

All the time.

I'll casually ask folks about tickets throughout my day tailgating, then about an hour before game time, if I don't have a ticket yet, I head near the stadium to snag one. Only been shut-out once, and that was at an Iron Bowl one year.

Gathering data for a research project - any assistance is greatly appreciated.
