I walked up to the Krewe of Miss-Lou tailgate just in time to catch the last round of their dance contest. There were a ton of people on hand to watch this week with 300 dollars and a bottle of crown going to the winner.

Boiled Crabs Recipe
Posted by ben on 12 Nov 2008 | Tagged as: Recipes
By the time football season is in full swing, the crab season is doing the same. Many people prefer not to eat boiled crabs because there is too much work involved for so little meat. I enjoy the sweetness of the crab meat. For the LSU-Florida game, I decided to pick up a bushel of crabs and boil them at the house. It is pretty difficult to bring out a boiling pot and keep the crabs alive all day while tailgating. You can boil the crabs beforehand (or purchase some that are already boiled), put them in an ice chest, and they will hold for quite a while.
Check out the recipe and pictures below. Everybody in Louisiana boils their seafood differently. Let us know how you boil by leaving a comment.

Tailgate of the Week: Krewe of Miss-Lou
Posted by ben on 02 Oct 2008 | Tagged as: Tailgating
I first visited the Krewe of Miss-Lou for the North Texas game. It was a pretty decent crowd that weekend, but they said I had to come back for the dance competition.
I kept the promise that I would return to check it out and am glad I did, the contest was amazing. Three dancers stole the show with some pretty impressive break dancing and popnlocking. Scrappy ended up flaring, windmilling, and head spinning his way to first place. Much props to the other guys poppin and lockin and to Snapper from the 504 who also made it to the final round. Following the final round was a battle between the dancers in the final round.
**Please note that the fight at the dance contest did not involve any of the members of the Krewe of Miss-Lou, nor do they tolerate that behavior. Take your violence elsewhere. We are all out to have a good time and root the Tigers to a win.
If you think you have what it takes to win, check out the Krewe of Miss-Lou here. The contest usually starts at 4 or 5 PM, depending on the time of the game. Get there early to sign up.

You couldn’t have asked for better weather for tailgating for the LSU - Mississippi State game. Luckily, LSU held off the trend of upsets over the past weekend. With a week off, the Tigers should be well rested to face Florida in The Swamp.
