Greetings Tiger Fans,
My name is Eric Bain-Selbo. I am chair of the religion and philosophy department at Lebanon Valley College in Pennsylvania. I am in the second year of research for a book about college football in the South. Last year I went to Knoxville, Oxford, and Athens. This year I returned to Knoxville and went to Tuscaloosa. But my research wouldn't be complete without a visit to Baton Rouge.

Part of my research involves meeting with devoted fans--especially those with a strong tailgating tradition. I have a short survey card that I have people fill out, and then talk with them briefly about LSU football (or Georgia, etc.) and what it means to them. If you are such a fan and would like to help me with this project, please send me an e-mail at [email protected]. Either I can get a cell phone number to find you on game day or you can give me directions to and descriptions of your tailgating site. Either way, I'll come to you.

Thanks,
Eric
