LSU pulls out the guns for the Huskies

No, not some super potent weapon in the LSU Tigers arsenal, nor is it some tricks up Les Miles' sleeves.

But the band is traveling to come see the Tigers play the University of Washington Huskies.

This comes on the back of a decision the college made to save money by not bringing the band on away games, to save money in this economic crisis.

However, in the face of criticism by many fans the school reversed its decision and the band is heading to Seattle.

It won't be the full band, just a pep band, but they will also send this smaller band to all the away games too.

This is why I love college football, the passion that goes into your team. What is a college game without the band, right?

Hey, maybe I'm stretching for news here, but I'm genuinely excited to see LSU come play up at Husky Stadium. The last time the SEC played in Seattle was 1978, so this is a rare treat.

The meeting of two vastly different cultures, not just football cultures, is going to be excellent. No matter what happens on the field I think it will be a good game for everyone involved.

Washington may be 0-12 coming in, but they will but up more of a fight than they did in most games last year. I think the fans and the players are buying what Sarkisian is selling at this point.

Ideally, I'd love for LSU fans to come away impressed with their experience in Seattle. I'm tired of SEC fans looking down their noses at the Pac-10.

So I say to you Husky fans, we've got a little over a month left until the game. Get your tickets, get your purple and gold facepaint and attire, practice your chants.

Let's give these guys the real Husky experience, because god knows they are going to give us the real Tigers experience even though they are 2,000 miles from home.
