Season is set to begin this year on Saturday, August 30, at 6:30 pm, as our beloved LSU Tigers travel to Clemson's Memorial Stadium for a game that will televised on ABC.

It's no accident that in the recently released AFCA Coaches Poll, published by ESPN, LSU is ranked #9 in the country.  The team really looks good!  However, the opening game will be no cake walk as Clemson is ranked #6 in the same poll.

It's also no accident that southernliving.com reported that in 2022, LSU fans created not one, but two, earthquakes during the LSU victory over Alabama!!

Why is that no accident?  Because, in Louisiana, LSU rules the roost!  And there are no casual LSU fans.  Our fans are die-hard, hard core purple and gold freaks!  We will even leave our LSU season tickets to a loved one in our will.  Yes, it's that serious!

So serious, that we have our own set of unwritten rules.  And there will be no concessions on these rules.  Totally unbreakable; even unbendable.
