Interesting development from LSU fandom. This just went out. Appears Tiger Nation is planning to come to SE Ohio this Saturday.
LSU FANS:
If you can’t make it to Atlanta next week, then join us in Burreaux’s hometown of The Plains & Athens Ohio for the SEC Championship. Folks from Louisiana are flying up and driving in from surrounding states. It’s just a fun reason for a grass roots, fan base get together and show support for Burrow’s hometown.
Inbox me if you are interested.
