From the Arizona Daily Star (Tucson)

They must have come by our tailgate!

See it, believe it
• We were overwhelmed all week by talk of LSU's culture of tailgating. Blah. Blah. Blah. How much different can it be than at Oregon and Washington , the Pac-10's standard-setters for tailgating? The answer is … THIS MUCH. It lived up to the talk. A one-mile radius of Tiger Stadium was bumper-to-bumper, tent-to-tent tailgating, from sunup to kickoff. Awesome.

"Jojo left … "
• To jack up the huge crowd at Tiger Stadium, Garth Brooks "Callin' Baton Rouge" was played moments before the game. It was a 100-jolt energy boost. A few minutes later, Don Williams' "Louisiana Saturday Night" rocked over the loud PA system. Arizona had no answer. What could the Wildcats ask to be played? The Beatles' "Get Back?" "Jojo left his home in Tucson , Arizona , … get back to where you once belonged."
