ESPN’s College GameDay is in Ames, Iowa, on Saturday ahead of the rivalry game between Iowa State and Iowa.
It’s the first time GameDay has ever been in Ames, and fans are showing up in force, getting their tailgates started early.
While analyst Kirk Herbstreit praised Iowa State’s scene, he added that LSU fans take it to a whole other level with their pregame parties:
We just do things different down in Baton Rouge. No. 1 on your bucket list should be LSU!

“I’m from the Big Ten, and I’ll never forget when I started going with GameDay to the SEC,” he said. “You’d have campers coming into Baton Rouge on Thursday and little kids throwing Nerf footballs and the smokers going everywhere and the smell of bourbon in the air. This is very different. I think LSU takes it to a whole different level.”
LSU fans will probably toast to that!
