There will be some tailgate tastes shared to put everyone in the mood.

Tell Your Friends to Sign Up for the Newsletter to Get the Right Information!
One member reported recently that an LSU fan he met for lunch asked why there would be no crawfish at the crawfish boil this year. He had "heard" that we were doing a fish fry instead. The member did the right thing: he said our Website didn't say that and told him to sign up for the newsletter at www.LSUatlanta.com to get accurate information.
Tell your fellow Tiger fans to sign up to receive this free newsletter through the Email Newsletter box on the homepage. We want everyone to get their LSU Atlanta information direct "from the Tiger's mouth."
Also, the more people we have sign up for our official newsletter, the more successful we will be with promoting the interests of LSU, this chapter, and its business partners in metro Atlanta who support YOU.
