So I experienced the football culture here on Saturday.
We started at 1 p.m. with a Department Tailgate out side our Theatre, The Swine Palace. (the game didn't start until 7 p.m. and most people start even earlier than we did!!)
It seems to me that Tailgating basically means that you get to the game insanely early; eat and drink as much as you can.
For some people it also means bringing lots of equiptment! I saw a frozen drink machine, lots of satelite dishes and big Screen tv's. But this one with 3 tv's took the cake.
At 5 p.m. everyone lines up to see the band march down to the stadium.
First we saw the women's basketball team walk down throwing out basketballs.
Here is the Drum Major and "Golden Girls"
The Clarinets-- my favorite
We were seated nearly at the top!! My friend Lisa is scared of heights but she was a trooper!
PreGame with the band-- 350 people strong!!
The Cheerleaders!
Touchdown! Halftime--first the national Guard of LA who served in Iraq and Afganastan.
Then the Tulane Band which was really small and we couldn't hear-- then...
The Golden Band from Tiger Land!!
Football really exists so the band has a place to play!
We won !!
So 10 hours later-- we were home!! What a day!
And That is how you "DO" Football at LSU!
GEAUX TIGERS!!
