It's Saturday Night in Death Valley (LSU Football)

This video debuted at the McNeese State game on October 16, 2010 and was played after the coin toss leading to kickoff. Public address announcer Dan Borne wrote the narrative. The video was produced by our talented football video staff.

Congrats guys, u guys made the sec proud. That defense and running game looked awesome. I'm living here in Florida now, I was watching the game at a sports bar, I had in my Crimson Tide gear, but I was riding with the tigers, man u wouldn't believe how many gator fans were going for Oregon. How can any true football fan cheer for an out of conference opponent. I was proud when the LSU fans started chanting SEC, great game guys good luck the rest of the way see u in Nov!

[@LSUfanhere]

Agreed. A rivalry can be so much fun. Too many "fans" think it is life or death! It is a game! My family, friends, country, and God are what is important to me. They are what truly matter. The soldiers protecting us matter. I hope it is a great season for LSU, but more important is my daughter being happy and healthy, and my grand daughter being safe and joyful. My dad feeling loved, wanted, respected, and admired. My loved ones and friends having a great year in this economy. Take care.

[@jakelocker2394]

Um, does anyone else just get chills when seeing this?!

[@bioscience2694]

It was originally called "Deaf Valley" because it is so loud, it was deafening. Clemson had already coined "Death Valley." People kept mispronouncing it as "Death" valley, so it stuck. Don't take my word for it though, look it up.

[@bioscience2694]

***** LMAO. Spoken like a true LSU Tiger fan. That place IS loud, I'll give y'all that.

Wow! You are so galactically stupid that it is breathtaking! But no surprise: the dumbest people I have ever met were from the Northeast.

[@geauxtigers2228]

Sheep Herder you're a fucking moron! Just because YOU think of the South that way doesn't mean you're right in your observation. Obviously from the vitriol of your comments any reader with an open mind and cares about true facts and not opinions would discard your comments like your supposed supermodel ex's from the northeast discards tampons! So the Cops in the south are dirty and corrupt? Would you like me to drop articles and videos on you from your beloved New York cops and how corrupt and petty they are? As for the women being ugly and stuck up, this is coming from a person claiming New York women and north east women in general are better educated and better looking! Always remember Jersey Shore. Someone who has Snooki proudly claiming allegence to your general area is not helping people believe your observations of southern women! The majority of women from your area talk, believe, and imitate what that ugly midget, ignorant, whore Snooki believes and acts! Keep up the comments we're getting a great laugh from your dumb ass!

[@chrisz71]

I am an Arkansas and Florida fan, but I respect the tigers greatly. This is just chilling to watch, and makes me want to attend a game on Saturday nights.
