Armed with our camera and enough tear gas to disperse an angry mob, we ventured into Death Valley and its environs to witness all that is the storied LSU/Ole Miss rivalry.  Half hearted and downtrodden, LSU fans, fully aware of their majestic fall into averagedom, still mustered the energy to host, as always, a spirited shindig.  Documentation and several shamefully exploitive Golden Girls pictures follow…

The Tiger band…spelling out the doom and gloom that was to come that afternoon

A very sexy parade

What the A Team van would have looked like if it had a drinking problem

What every good tailgate needs, a ski boat and a trampoline

Oh hey, you again

Cowboy Mouth…ruining a good time since 1993

Beer bongs and lynchings…together at last

Girls, we must stop meeting like this.

Exhibit A on why tailgating at LSU is a must do

The Booze Belly…when innovation and alcoholism meet

We are probably sufficiently creeping them out at this point

A solar powered cooler…

…that magically transforms into a stereo run by a car battery….ah Baton Rouge.

Pretty much your standard LSU fan outfits…purple and gold track suit for the gentlemen, full on tiger for the ladies

A gathering of all the people who have picked off Jarrett Lee for a touchdown this season

Jevan Snead, slicing up your paltry pass defense

The spoils of victory…a really odd looking and cumbersome Magnolia Bowl trophy

….and one more for good measure
