LSU football: Geaux Tigers
Saturday night in Death Valley is a bucket-list event: more than 100,000 fans, the Golden Band from Tigerland, Mike the Tiger next door, and a tailgate scene that smells like jambalaya for a mile in every direction. "Geaux Tigers" is the only spelling that matters in Baton Rouge, and LSU fans turn road trips into a traveling party.
