It will be a loud one. Bring an umbrella for the rain and urine.

According to tRant, piss balloons will be full and large. Definitely bring a poncho.

Me and my wife have been to that snake pit a couple of times.
94 they would have burned Hallman at the stake if the could have got their hands on him after the game.
2012 they was “38hot” after that one also.
I’ll pass on it this year...

I'll be in New Orleans that Friday. Still debating with my buddies whether to go in to Baton Rouge Saturday morning or just stay in Nola

I am. Will be there with my wife. First game in Baton Rouge.

Will be there. Cousin lives right next to the stadium. Last time I was there was the Yeldon scree pass. It's a great atmosphere and I cannot wait. If you have thick skin at all and can stand some harmless ribbing, then you'll be just fine.

I'm going, best friend is a LSU graduate. Planning going to his camp for a little fishing and outdoors relaxation. Generally I've never had problems with going down there for games or with their fans.

Not making the trip. The LSU fans in Tuscaloosa for the 2007 game, actually made my wife think that football games aren't safe. Overreaction for sure, but they just have such a large percentage of in your face fans that she doesn't care for it.
I need to get a few buddies together to make the trip myself.

I go every time. It's not nearly as bad as the Tiger Rant would have you believe. You'll catch some good-natured ribbing like everywhere else, and perhaps it's dealt out with a little more intensity than other places, but at no time in 10 trips over there have I ever felt unsafe or threatened. It's a great atmosphere for college football.

I'll be there. Being from and living in BR, it's kind of the like the world series.
There have been times where it's gotten out of hand, but as long as you walk back to the car without yelling roll tide at everyone in purple and gold, it isn't bad.
But I also typically walk from where we park to the game and back. Avoiding the tailgating. I've tailgated before, I've seen it, and I don't feel the need to walk through the parade grounds with the frat guys.
If it was my first game in BR, I'd probably do it differently, but this is the path of least resistance.

I've been 7-8 times and never had nor seen one bad incident. Everyone was really friendly. If you get upset over someone saying 'tiger bait', don't go.

Is the rant really wasting money on buying billboards in Birmingham for Devin White?
I'm all for those morons moving money to Alabama's economy, but still it is nuts

Not hard to time those cajun kittens when you bring them treats

Well that's no fun

I won't be there Saturday night, but I am going to the Saints-Rams game in New Orleans on Sunday afternoon. I'm sure I'll run into quite a few pissed off LSU fans on Bourbon Street Sunday night.

Yep. Staying in NOLA and catching the Bama NOLA alumni bus over to the game from the rusty nail.
I've been to all of the Saban games down there and it's usually not as bad as people say as long as you don't march around telling them how many in a row it's been or screaming RTR. That said this one seems to have some extra hate this year with the fans in BR so I will probably bring a jacket just in case people start throwing things... Something neutral so I can make a getaway if I have to

I felt a little uneasy after the 98 game when we came back to win in the 4th quarter. I got lost leaving the stadium(thanks bourbon!) and found myself in a dark area of campus surrounded by LSU fans. I asked a guy where the baseball stadium was(where our group was parked) and he told me to "f off". I laughed it off, but I got the sense others around there were waiting for me to say something back and escalate things.
There other 5 or 6 times I've been there, I've had no problems and had a great time.

I'll be heading down there. Only other time I've been was 2014 and it was an awesome experience, even when I thought we were done with a minute left.
