LSU Continues to Dominate!

Even before the Tigers annihilated Middle Tennessee State the BATTers were tailgating in full force! Previous first game award winner was punished from her generous jello sharing ways due to the arrival of the BP's lovely wife! Good times, delicious food, cocktails, and games were enjoyed by all! Be sure to read each caption carefully, as the krewe is installing a new rule effective Saturday! GEAUX TIGERS!

KM joined the BATTers for some Tiger fun!

With his BFF on a golf trip, J worried if he would enjoy the tailgate....washers and many cocktails helped to ensure his fun!

The BATT phenomenon spans the generations!

The Rebel and his bride grace the tailgate with their presence after missing the first game to see Ole Miss play! What were THEY thinking?!

P feels the love as M gives him an impromptu massage

Who knew JM moonlighted as a pole dancer at the Gold Club?

ATTENTION ALL BATT MEMBERS: As of 9/22/07 the krewe will be implementing a "NO HOOCHIE" rule.....any hoochie that enters the tailgate will be quickly removed from the premises......this, of course, does not apply to any of the hoochies that already have membership status! NO EXCEPTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Calendar Girl" made lots of money (for a good cause) off the dirty old men of BATT

Always the good sport....P shows J how happy he is to get beaten at washers

B and C have a "friendly" discussion about the placement of their neighboring tailgates. ( What C does not know is.........B was sent by one of the gourmets)

M and J started their celebration bright and early!

Tall Antkiller and JM discuss the krewe's satellite situation!

The REAL Reason Corso Picked LSU

Even an Ole Miss fan can make a difference! Anne and Jack snuggled with Lee Corso in DC before the LSU V-Tech game - and you saw who he picked to win the game! There is a lot of purple and gold in that girl!!! Oh, you look nice, too, Jack.

Accolades from a Hokey Pokier

Reid's V-Tech buddy sent him the following. Great tailgate, huh?!!!!

Thanks for the note and we did have a blast on Saturday (emphasis on DAY!!). The hokie nation is definetly licking our wounds from the game but I really think that you guys have a special team this year. Hopefully we can bounce back and get the ACC title we all hoped for. The hospitality you and your fellow fans showed was amazing and really made us feel welcomed. We will stay in touch and if you are ever up our way please feel free to give us a call.

1st Weekend of the Season Awards

Traumatizer of the Week Award - Jimmy Earl
Jim and Mike began the long awaited weekend by taking it in the rear! On the way to park the van, Jim was in the lead of a five-car pile up on Acadian. Joe Mike has nominated Jim for the award, citing him for his gentle and comforting comments to the poor coed that rear-ended them.

Mr. Technology/Photographer - Joe Mike
(This one ranks up there with Bill answering the phone! --Hellloooo). Joe Mike graciously accepted the challenge of taking a picture of Joel and Nick before the game. "Where are you"? If he had not been holding the camera backwards he might have caught a glimpse of them in the 2" view finder!

Hello, My Name is Heather and I'll be Your Server Award- (guess who) -- Heather!
The server of revered jello shots, she generously offered one to a novice Hokey fan. She crammed it into his mouth - paper and all! The jello was not the only jiggle he got! No wonder the Hokey fans thought we were so hospitable!

Hokies Get Smoked!

The Krewe of BATT kicked off the 2007 Tiger season with a rowdy tailgate extravaganza! The gourmets outdid themselves with delicious Cajun cuisine and the cocktails flowed freely! We even hosted Hokies fans.....proving that mass quantities of alcohol can bring together the most unlikely of friends! The night was topped off with the Tigers steamrolling the Hokies......48 to 7! Those fighting chickens were plucked, marinated, and fried to a golden brown!

GEAUX TIGERS!

P loves B.......because he brings the jello!
H LOVES BP...........SAME REASON!!!!!!!!!!!

JS hopes to be as tall as JM when he grows up!

Even the Hokie fans LOVE the BATT tailgate! (Notice the huggie)

B and J start the morning tailgate with a little news!

Why PM is NOT Allowed to Use the Camera!

Since P is TERRIFIED that H will lose the new camera he bought for her, he insisted on wearing it as we toured the campus. It wasn't until later that his true, evil plot was discovered! PM is a dirty old man!
P SWEARS these girls BEGGED him to take their picture!

Yeah......He wishes!

Can't you just see Mike frolicking in his cage? NO? ME EITHER!

LOVELY!
