thaitopher 807 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 My brother and I will be there. We have started a tradition of choosing one away game every year to go to. He lives in Navarre, so I don't seem him that often. Here are the games we went to: 1. 3 years ago - Auburn v. Mississippi Stat (both teams were ranked in top ten) - I still have cowbells going off in my ears; 2. 2 years ago - A&M - great game. We totally kicked their a** 3. Last year - Ole Miss - great game, although I was really worried there during the first half of the game when the offense kept going down the field each possession and scoring 4. This year - LSU - experience - TBD although I have been to 3 games in Baton Rouge where Auburn was the visitor. I will just try to stay as in cognito as possible so I don't get beaten up by any drunk LSU fans, but my big orange shirt with a picture of the old tiger on the front might be a target for some.

I'll be there with cigars at the ready. 3rd visit to BR for me. Was there for the '05 John Vaughn game and the '09 game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auburn 6 101 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I'll be there with my brother. First trip for both of us to BR. Does anybody know of any large AU tailgates going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walk around, introduce yourself, and don't talk smack (and be willing to take a little friendly crap). Tell people it's your first trip to BR and ask about their traditions. You'll get so much good food that you'll need a wheelbarrow to get to the stadium.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auburn tailgate is more of a backup in case we don't find some friendly rivals willing to put up with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr82b4au 5,568 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I thought about it but I am going to pass. Last few times I was there we lost so I am going to stay away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SumterAubie 3,031 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 No, I'm not. Which is a good omen for Auburn. I attended the last 3 games in Baton Rouge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaitopher 807 Posted October 10, 2017 Author Share Posted October 10, 2017 For all Auburn fans going to Baton Rouge this weekend - just don't be a douche and you might be tiger baited a bunch of times, but you generally should be safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJCrawford 1,568 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Not sure where to ask this and I don’t start new threads? but does the 90 degree weather favor either team Saturday? Does the visiting team have the same opportunity for on field air conditioning etc that the home team does? All of you going .....sunscreen and water!

Probably a question for the prediction thread But, if anything, the heat should help us. If our offense is able to move with any pace, we can wear their thin D-Line out quicker. As for visitor locker room, I have no idea. Just hope they have enough smoke ventilation around 6 p.m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

around4ever 4,139 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I'm already in BR. One of the funnest times I had at a football game was a UAT - LSU game in BR. I wore an Auburn T shirt and yelled Geaux Tigers before and during the game and the LSU people thought that was the greatest thing. They have the best tailgates and love to share.

around4ever 4,139 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Just saw on the news, their players are very confident and don't understand why they are underdogs to Auburn in Death Valley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJCrawford 1,568 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I gotta tell you I think our board is contentious at times, but visiting the Tiger rant posts makes this board seem like gum drops and unicorns. Whoever set up the rules and all of you who moderate.....thanks for keeping it civil! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You lost to Troy at home and barely got by Syracuse at home. Also a missed extra point away from blowing a 14 point lead to a terrible Florida team while getting wrecked by an MSU team that we blew out. That's why you're the underdog kids. Be glad the line isn't higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(We need a tiger emoticon!) The Gameday atmosphere in BR is much better than Athens. The people are so much more fun and accommodating as long as you aren't an ass. Take their ribbing, laugh and give it back in a friendly way. Most tailgaters will offer food and drink. Have fun with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
