Night Record since 1960 - 207-59-3 (.774)
Overall Tiger Stadium Record: 361-139-18 (.714)
Right before you walk out on that field to face LSU under those lights, you'd best kneel down and pray, cause you're going to spend the next 60 minutes in the most hostile environment known to college sports, the one they call Death Valley.

Barely, it only took three overtimes, eh?
It was a day game kickoff for LSU.

I'm kind of curious how LSU managed to pull 8 home games to 4 road games. Baton Rouge won't see decent action until the last week of October when Tiger Stadium will host four home in a row.

Would anyone like to do a college fantasy league? I modded one at Yahoo two years ago with some RL friends. From what I remember, you just pick teams to win, not players and stuff like that so it's easier to do.
Let me know what you think and if people are interested I'll set it up.

I'll join - we do a money pick'em pool anyway, so I can just port the ss to yahoo, plus add message board taunts that the SEC fans will have to look up in that dusty old antebellum dictionary in the guest quarters.

Awesome. I'll keep a watch on the site. Surely they'll be opening up registration soon.

1. It is BIG. The capacity is 107,501, but has had 112,000+ in attendence for a game with Ohio State
2. Fans sit very close to the field
3. It was basically dug into the ground so the sound is consolidated
Beaver Stadium almost did in Ohio State Quarterbacks. Players couldn't hear the signals from the QB
Ohio Stadium ( The Horseshoe) vibrates when the OSU band comes through the tunnel and the fans begin yelling. I've taken Texas alumnae to OSU games and they said UT games were never that loud.
I can't wait for the season to begin. USC here I come!
