The first Below Average Photo Essay and we crunked it up right with a trip to the ATL for College Gameday and the Chick-fil-A Classic between LSU and a team that closely resembled North Carolina.  It was an absolute demolition derby of cultures in downtown Atalanta, there was the typical ridiculousness of LSU fan, the added redness of NASCAR fan that was there for the Sunday race, DragonCon fan who felt it was totally reasonable to walk around in public in a spandex superhero costume with a broadsword strapped to their back, and it also happened to be Gay Black Pride weekend as well, so yeah, we were full tilt on the culture scale all weekend.  What follows is our modest photographic recap of what went down…a recap that includes probably the greatest Golden Girl pictures ever…so prepare your loins and enjoy.

We were LIVE at Gameday, where LSU fan showed up fashionably late and hungover but nonetheless excited

On Marta headed toward Gameday.  The sheer awesomeness of this DragonCon attendee’s outfit could not be captured on film.

Meet the Washington St. Flag bearers from Gameday.  Men committed to a cause…a lost cause under untold miles of open road, but a cause nonetheless

UNC fans were accepting their fate early in the day

LSU fan was in attendance, so naturally, Gameday needed to have a cash bar

Likely patrons of said cash bar

The stark difference between UNC and LSU fan…Carolina fan promoting temperance and self control…

…LSU fan, not so much

LSU fan showed up in his typical wardrobe

Carolina fan, however was not there to be outdone.

When DragonCon and LSU fan meet, become one

I had assumed this is what Erin Andrew would have been wearing for Gameday

This guy probably went to ULM

Hipster Northwestern fan, represent son!

Somebody in the crowd loves America

He, however ,did not love you enough to send a viable center to snap the ball

Balls of a sombrero’d man on your neck vs. SEC poon on your neck.  Winner, guy on the right.

Hard to tell who had more product in their hair, Erin or Herbie.

Leering at more cheerleaders before 9AM than you did all day

Obvious NCAA Investigation jokes, brought to you by The Home Depot

LSU fan…always tasteful with the body art

Bama fan…there to represent, burn one

Seriously, 3 hours of Gameday is a little exhausting

LSU fan, enjoying the weather, reasonably priced beer

Carolina fan, drinking, just waiting for hoops season

Putting a little Tiger on her tank

Bros without shirts…let it never be said that we dont bring the sexy

What Santa would look like if he had a drinking problem

Poon wins again

Our seats were pretty solid

Did I mention we had good seats?…

I mean, like really good seats…

Really really good seats

The Sideline Princess’s security guard…maybe a little too intent on guarding that ass

Russell Shepard got his hair did for the game

High shutter speed used to catch these two

I was wondering what that cold chill and sense of a ominous presence was…then I turned around to see

Lord Barkevious Mingo sighting

I was glad to see that the bouncer from The Attic found work after Saved by th Bell

An unnecessary comeback…but such is life with Lester at the helm
