LSU Travels Far to Face Huskies in Seattle
Written on September 5, 2009 – 2:33 pm by Sportshistory
On September 3, 2009, Louisiana State University (LSU) travelled to Seattle to play the University of Washington Huskies in Husky Stadium. The game will be played on Saturday, September 05, 2009 at 7:30 local time. This road trip for LSU constitutes the southern university’s longest-ever road trip. The flight to Seattle was 2,031 miles. The next longest road trip for LSU was in 1984, when the Tigers flew to California to play USC. That journey took 1,603 miles, and ended in a 23-3 LSU victory.
Last season, LSU went 8-5, while Washington suffered through an 0-12 season and went through a coaching change. LSU’s 8,000 tickets for this road game were snapped up quickly, and many Louisiana fans planned to travel with to Seattle. Oddly though, they may not be all that noticeable in Husky Stadium, as both schools sport purple and gold colors.
