Laissez Les Bons Temps Rouler! Or Let the Good Times Roll! LSU fans did just that last night as their beloved Tigers steamrolled through Arkansas 9-1. They came early (some Tiger fans were standing in line down the hill at 1:00 in hopes of getting tickets for the 6:00 game) and no doubt, stayed late! Lucky for them, a few brought their own crawfish in a cooler for everyone to suck on while they waited to climb the hill!
Their campers line the parking lot of Rosenblatt, and their fans start chanting "L-S-U" long before the first pitch is thrown. They have on their Tiger gear (check out the guy wearing the Tigger suit) and all are decked out in Purple and Gold. This makes Rosenblatt feel just like a SEC Saturday in the fall, only without the changing leaves and the tossing around of the pigskin.
Funny thing is, residents of Omaha told me last night that even on the very rare years LSU does not make the CWS, their fans still come on to Omaha anyway! Their campers roll into town and they still spend their vacations in the parking lots of Omaha and the bleachers of Rosenblatt. Amazing!
You really grow to love the Tigers after seeing their fans in person (unless of course, you are rooting for the opposition). They have a intense love for their Tigers and they know how to cheer their boys on to victory. And the way their boys looked last night, they could be cheering them on all the way to the CWS Finals!
