We all made it in safe and sound. I greeted Chris and Dave at the Baton Rouge airport holding a large copy of the coat of arms while sporting the coveted blazers.
Made our first friend in Ed the cab driver. Ed got a picture with us and let us keep the logo on his cab for the ride from the airport to the hotel. He also likes our idea to bring back the Freedom Bowl.
While Todd and Trey embarked from Houston, Chris, Dave and I went over to a local rib joint and watched a little football. The joint was decked out in LSU regalia including the 1959 Heisman Trophy. Our food came in about 25 seconds. We also conversed with some very kind Alabama fans. They travel to all the games in an RV and invited us to stop by next time in Tuscaloosa (Cosey Colisuem Parking spot 169). We got the lowdown from them on good places to go in the SEC. They were big fans of Mississippi (old guy Gene - decked in red white and blue suspenders let us know "they got the best lookin' women in the SEC - the mommas and the daughters, they care o' themselves).
We headed over the Outback Steakhouse near our hotel and met up with Trey and Todd. That is where some bad play calling came about. We stopped drinking water and started drinking Foster's Oil Cans. Oops.
We closed down Outback at 1030 and walked up the road where we ended up in a place call Uncle Earl's. We were there for far too long (not heading home until 1230) and all came back with Uncle Earl shirts and smelling like beer and cigarettes (you can still smoke in bars here, not good).
We all made it safely back with a pact that no wake up calls would be take place the next day. We were excited to get down to Tigerland.
