LSU-Alabama tailgate photos: Baby elephant, Battleshots and more

@USATodaySports

Let's take a lap around the LSU-Alabama tailgates in Baton Rouge

I'm pretty sure LSU fans have been tailgating since like Monday. When it comes to big games -- hell, any game -- LSU fans tend to bring it. And the photos from Saturdays' tailgates are all the proof we need.

I, ummm, well ... this might actually be a baby elephant. No idea...

Smoking a baby elephant. To eat. If you can top this, let us know where to find you. #1Day1Game twitter.com/ESPNMag/status…
