Jay is a BIG football fan. He has always wanted to go to an SEC game, since they are so big on tradition and have such cool history and rivalries. So, for his birthday back in April, I surprised him with tickets to the LSU vs Ole Miss game. My mom came and picked up Kendall and they flew back to Scottsdale. Jay and I met my family back in Scottsdale after our trip and stayed until the Friday after Thanksgiving...pictures of that to come.
LSu Tiger Stadium...they have such die-hard fans like I have never seen before...it was really neat to see!
National Champions last year....they lost the game we went to though.
We went to the campus really early to walk around and noticed this tailgate...they hired a band!
Mike the Tiger, their mascot. He lives on campus and was so pretty.
Herman Johnson, one of the LSUplayers, at the parade before the game. He set a record for one of the biggest babies ever born, at about 16 pounds!!
The LSU band. They call their stadium the "tiger den". When anyone wearing Ole Miss colors would walk by, everyone started chanting, "tiger bait, tiger bait" in their faces.
We decided to go walk around the campus some more, and just look at what happened. We ended up right on the field, like special people. Security was either really lax or completely stupid, because we just walked past all of them like we knew what we were doing! It was so fun. This picture of the cheerleaders was not even zoomed in, we were right here!
Some of the LSU players. So close I almost touched them.
Some Ole Miss players...did I mention we were RIGHT here??!? I actually stood right next to a camera man and a local news team videoing the game when I was taking this shot.
Oh and I almost forgot to add this part...we also did all of the fun touristy stuff, like Cafe Du Monde (yummy), Bourbon Street, French Quarter, and some other neat local spots.
