Now it looks more like this. Oklahoma’s captains get LOUD boos as they walk toward midfield.

Everything filled up nicely after the Senior Night festivities.

Let’s get this baby rocking and rolling.

Tonight’s matchup opened with LSU as a 5-point favorite. It quickly moved to LSU -7, but has trickled back down all week. Twenty minutes to kickoff, FanDuel is still offering it at -5.5.

LSU’s seniors are being honored right now.

I fully expect Tiger Stadium to rock at kickoff, but it’s pretty dead in here right now. Lots of places to fill.

It’s a bit chilly, so I expect there will be plenty of fans on the pitch as well. But don’t think the game should be affected by the weather, so that’s a plus.

Freshman TE Davon Mitchell has made the trip. It is his first road game of the season. Think he wants to play.

Wow, are LSU’s uniforms sharp tonight. White pants, purple jerseys with white numbers and white helmets with the block LSU and a Tiger on the side.

Before wearing red on what is on white, of course, the traditional road unis.

There was an idea that LSU would wear its usual white home jerseys tonight with the yellow pants and yellow helmet, which would have put OU in their home crimsons.

But LSU went with the purple.

Kickoff for tonight’s game has been moved back five minutes to 6:10 p.m

The Sooners are in the end zone doing early warmups. It was quite a ruckus when they entered the arena and the stadium was 5 percent full.

OU’s first trip to Tiger Stadium will be intense.
