Some of the crew (from L to R): Brandon (aka Shuba), David, Chris (aka Crotch), Jeff (aka Mutt)
Our tailgating crew is the B.T.P. which stands for the Blue Towel Posse...remember a group of guys started this right out of high school so don't make too many assumptions about the name. One of the guys who started the group works in medical sales and always provided extra blue towels from surgeries they use when cooking and cleaning at tailgate (notice in the above picture they all have blue towels in their pockets!), hence the name.
For the last couple of years we have been so lucky to get tickets from our friends the Kellys. David and Donna (or D&d) have 10 season tickets and let us buy two of them which is awesome. None of that waiting in the nose bleed section until it's your turn, just fabulous tickets right from the start.

Our seats are underneath the upper deck and are awesome because the upper deck creates a breezeway, shade and an umbrella so the weather is always perfect no matter what, even though it never rains in Tiger Stadium. I will say my favorite part is the band, pre-game, half-time show, warm up at the Greek Amphitheater it doesn't matter; I love the Golden Band from Tigerland. I can say that I love winning too, which makes the football game itself much more enjoyable as well.

Be on the lookout for many more posts about LSU football to come as the season starts with the Chick-fil-A college kick off on ABC, September 4th against North Carolina at the Georgia Dome and the home opener on September 18th against Mississippi State. Geaux Tigers!
