The streets of Faubourg St. John were quiet tonight. No one was out on their stoop and few people were walking their dogs after 7 pm.
Except for some hollering and screaming every once in a while one might have thought no one was around. Why?
The big game was on TV. #1 ranked LSU played #2 ranked Alabama at Tuscaloosa. It was a regular season game. Many neighbors had friends, relatives and neighbors over to watch.
The game wasn’t a high scoring one as the defensive groups on both teams put up a good fight. Scoring was limited to field goals and the game ended in sudden death overtime with LSU winning 9 to 6.
Sports aren’t normally a topic covered at FSJNA dot ORG. But, with the many people in the neighborhood with Alabama or LSU flags flying out in front of their homes and the tremendous interest in the game, it is an appropriate post.
Both teams were tough competitors. Regardless of the team you supported, you can hold your head high. They played a good game.
