One of the key things that sets LSU (or most big US schools) apart from universities in NZ is the school spirit. It's everywhere - from people wearing LSU clothes, objects being painted purple and gold, and virtually anything can be bought this time of year with an LSU theme to it; the latest is the LSU tiger burger available from Burger King. This school spirit seems to have the effect of bringing everyone in the community together and you can definitely feel the excitement around campus for the start of football season.
The first game of the season is coming up this Saturday. LSU are ranked 12th nationwide going into the season and they play Texas Christian University, who are ranked 20th. I have bought season tickets again this year and plan to go to all the big games in Tiger Stadium - it should be a good time! To celebrate the start of football season I thought I'd post a few photos I've taken over the last two years showing the crazy LSU-themed things you can see around the place.
