LSU: Lightning Suspends Game, Doesn't Stop Party
The rain is coming down hard in Baton Rouge, and lightning has filled the skies, as play has been suspended with 10:31 to go in the 3rd quarter, and LSU up 35-3 on Mississippi State. Here in Louisiana though, when lighning occurs, it isn't a time to stop everything...it's just another excuse to keep the party rolling!
A nice chunk of the student section is still out, braving the storm, cheering, diong the wave, and chanting non-stop...everything from L-S-U!, to GEAUX...TIGERS!...to TIGER BAIT! Most the the fans have sought shelter in the concourses, but there's also a lot of fans who are gathered just under a covering, waiting patiently for the game to resume, and talking and laughing with others during the storm.
Up here in the press box, we're all talking and visiting with each other, admiring the lightning in the sky, while watching other games (Tennessee-Memphis) and talking about what has been a great performance by LSU so far in this game. Not one person in the press box is upset with the delay, in fact, everyone is all smiles and having a great time in our cozy facility.
When we resume, MSU will have third and 9 from the LSU 26 yd. line. For now though, it's a thunderstorm party from the press box at Tiger Stadium!
