It never rains on Saturday night in Tiger Stadium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been going to LSU games since 1966, and needless to say I have seen several times when the mantra proved to be, perhaps, a smidgen less than 100% accurate. In fact, last year’s season opening game was cancelled<\/em> due to weather. Last night it certainly appeared the 2016 season was getting off to the same start.
