DALLAS — The Crousillac family has had LSU season tickets since Billy Cannon was running around Tiger Stadium in the 1950s. 
The family has maintained those same tickets and the same tailgate spot by Peabody Hall and the Indian Mounds on LSU’s campus since then. 
LSU fans traditionally travel well, and Sunday, as the Tigers took on Miami in Dallas, was no different.
Anna Crousillac, Mac McCoy and a plethora of their family and friends set up three tents, a barbeque grill and a game of cornhole on the northside of AT&T Stadium in preparation for LSU’s season opener against Miami.
“Everybody knows where we’re at,” Crousillac said. 
McCoy lives in Richardson, Texas, right outside of Dallas, but some of his friends drove up earlier in the week to make a vacation out of their trip.
Crousillac and her family drove almost six hours from Jackson, Mississippi Sunday morning to join the tailgate. 
“We all grew up in Louisiana, so it’s a good time to make the drive over to hang and see the Tigers,” Crousillac said.
This is not out of the ordinary for the group. They have attended many of LSU’s neutral site games over the years, including the last two time the Tigers were in Jerry World.
“We’ve done LSU-Orgeron here, we’ve done LSU-TCU here, so making this road trip back is fun,” Crousillac said. “It’s a tradition to just kick off the season. We went to Lambeau [in 2016], so it’s fun to be outside Baton Rouge and still get the sense of Baton Rouge.”
“As couple our people have never been to this stadium,” McCoy said. “I think five years ago some of us came to a game here [against TCU] and we’re just looking forward to the beginning of the season.”
Ever the loyal LSU fans, everybody at the tailgate picked the Tigers to win over Miami.
“Of course LSU’s going to spank them,” McCoy joked.
“Go against those ESPN people,” Corousillac added. “25 or not, I intend to win. There’s enough high energy out here, I think we can take over that big stadium.”
