A group of LSU football fans were turned away from a restaurant in Florida during the Tigers' game against the Gators last week, according to an article on nwfdailynews.com. A Florida Gators alumni club had reserved an area of the Harry T's Lighthouse restaurant in Destin and had requested that fans from the competing team not be allowed in. Don Bass, one of the LSU fans, told WBRZ-TV he was in Destin for a wedding Saturday and was hoping to eat with friends and family and watch LSU play Florida at Tiger Stadium on TV. Bass, from Mississippi, was wearing an LSU hat. "We were greeted by the manager, and the first thing he said was, 'there's no LSU fans allowed in here.'" The incident sparked a heated exchange on social media after Bass wrote a letter to the restaurant and posted it and the restaurant's response on Facebook. The email response said the restaurant has had previous issues with LSU fans: "LSU does not carry a good name here at Harry T's, in previous years (this year as well) we've had LSU 'fans' physically attack a few members of our staff," an employee named Nick wrote. The restaurant has sinced apoligized and offered to make amends with LSU fans. Flag on the play! Unsportsman like conduct towards our LSU Football fans last Saturday.

The manager was out of town and the assistant manager who turned away LSU fans and insulted them online "is no longer a part of the management team". Louisiana folks spend a lot of money on the Florida coast.
Yeah I've eaten at that very restaurant. Had the wahoo. It would be dumb as hell to deny people from Louisiana .
They tried to do damage control and realased a Facebook meesage but then deleted their Facebook page. So if the party of 20 showed up a little after 8...That was around halftime when UF was down by 2 TDs. If they were up 2 TDs I suspect all LSu fans would have been welcome.
So a business establishment IN Florida does right by Florida fans and LSU fans have a problem. LMFAO. Based on the two quotes below, sounds like they made the right decision. Don Bass is an ass.
Wait, they realize they are in Florida right? I'm sure if they give it time an aids infested crackhead with a mullet carrying live goldfish in his jorts pockets covered in hot pink wet paint will try to rob the place with a banana and ride off on a black lab, and you can bet his ass will be a gator fan and carry a Florida ID.
Can't stand to see grown men whining like pussies. That fella went to Florida for a got dam beach wedding. THAT was "Superfan's" first mistake.
