This weekend I drove 6.5 hours west from Annapolis, MD to Columbus, Ohio to witness what ESPN refers to as "The Game". All my life, I've heard about this rivalry and how it is "the best in the nation". While I expect this single account of the game will do nothing to its reputation, I feel that my experience will give all of you an idea of what it is that some of you will never have the opportunity to experience, and most of you who wouldn't wanto to.

There are few tasks of the countless things I have to do to stay on top of things here at Navy that bring more satisfaction to me than reading Roll Bama Roll. However, something occured in the last 24 hours that has created some concern for me.

Last year, I attended the Iron Bowl. Throughout the day I was subjected to classless heckle and chants that I soaked in, as I enjoyed the atmosphere of a rivalry game. That night after the game, I was subject to even more ridicule and disrespect after the game. Full grown men and elderly women were going out of their way to put six of their fingers in my face.

That night, I sat through 3 and a half hours of uneventful football, and was subject to even more ridicule and disrespect after the game. Full grown men and elderly women were going out of their way to put six of their fingers in my face.

I'm heading to Baton Rouge for the game this Saturday, and wanted to see the Gameday set. Is there a traditional place on campus where it is set up? Near the stadium? Thank you so much for your help.

Hey Tiger Fans!

I currently live in Annapolis, Maryland, where I go to school. I'm active duty military, and have (by the grace of God) been granted leave for the weekend of November 7th. I've decided to use this precious time to go to Baton Rouge for Saban Bowl II. As an Alabama fan, this will be my first time to Baton Rouge and I wanted to be sure this trip was worthwhile. 

So, this is a post asking for any advice about how to spend my time there (What are the good places to eat, etc.). I'm a huge fan of tradition, and wanted to know about any LSU traditions that are done before or after games. I'm getting in Friday night, and will be there until Sunday. 

Thanks in advance for all of your help!

Roll Tide! Beat those Dawgs!
