Crazy damn coon asses. Got to give them credit, they know how to have a good time.
a few highlights from the article:
1.In September, LSU and its fans traveled to West Virginia, which has one of the few college stadiums that serves alcohol. According to a school spokesman, Mountaineer Field sold over $120,000 in beer alone that night—even though parts of the stadium sold out of cold Bud Light around halftime. Not only was that figure 33% higher than the figure for the next-highest game, it accounted for 23% of the season's total beer sales over seven games. "The whole line was LSU fans buying four beers at a time," reports Judson Sanders, a 31-year-old Tigers fan who works in electrical contracting.
2.In a study of beer sales and shipments over the last decade, the Beer Institute, a Washington, D.C. industry group, has ranked the Bayou State as high as No. 5 among all states in per capita beer consumption. That makes it the thirstiest state in the South.
3. LSU is about to license their own beer from a local brewery close to campus calledThe Tin Roof Brewing Company. According to the brewery, this light ale, which would be marketed in school-color purple and gold cans, would be called Bandit Blonde after a defensive unit on the school's 1958 national-championship squad. Several watering holes in New Orleans and Baton Rouge are already incorporating Bandit Blonde into a signature drink called the Honey Badger, which is named in honor of star LSU cornerback Tyrann Mathieu. It consists of a shot of Jack Daniel's Tennessee Honey Whiskey dropped into a glass of the brew.
