BATON ROUGE - LSU's Homecoming is this weekend!

Friday night, the National Pan-Hellenic Council will host the annual Divine 9 Greek step show inside the Student Union Theater. The show is sold out.

The homecoming tailgate will begin Saturday morning, and the game starts at 11 a.m. against the Mississippi State Bulldogs.

Chancellor Jim Dalton says the energy on campus this week has been electric.

"You know it's my first homecoming week at LSU and I love it. The excitement among students is palpable from block parties to the spirit banner at competition, talks with Mike. It's been fantastic! I can't wait for the walk down Victory Hill tomorrow morning with the homecoming group and the crowning of the king and queen at halftime," Dalton said.
