BATON ROUGE -- "It's 65 degrees," announced Dan Borné, the booming voice of Tiger Stadium, "and the chance of rain is never."

Almost on cue, the rain fell.

Yet no downpour, no matter how torrential, fierce or driving, could dampen spirits as LSU officials and poncho-wearing, umbrella-carrying fans lined the streets of Baton Rouge and gathered in the stadium to commemorate the school's first national championship since 1958.

Those seated in the shadows of the gigantic scoreboards climbed the bleachers for cover while some in the nearly full section on the west side of the stadium darted to the concourse. Tigers players, grouped on bleachers on each end of the main stage, waited nearly 15 minutes until officials brought them disposable yellow raincoats.

Still, of the nearly 100,000 fans that police estimated were in attendance downtown at the Parade of Champions and on campus at the celebration, not many left and almost none seemed to mind the inconvenient weather.

Under dark clouds, they came to commemorate, as LSU Chancellor Mark Emmert said, "the good ol' days" of Tigers football.

"This is a special group of young men," coach Nick Saban said. "This is a special team. . . . There was no adversity this team could not overcome."

Apparently, the same held true of the soaked fans listening to the his remarks in the steady rain. They stayed, although the fans were forced to watch on a giant TV screen because a white tent covered the stage.

Junior wide receiver Michael Clayton, who is entering the NFL draft, got the loudest applause of the afternoon when he carried the crystal football, given to the BCS national champions, outside the tent and hoisted it in the air. Clayton then handed it to quarterback Matt Mauck, who almost let the $30,000 football hit the ground as he struggled to set the wet crystal on its stand.

"Next year, coach Saban, I won't be here," Clayton said during a short speech. "But the Tigers will be in the running again for another national championship."

Again, there were more cheers.

Running back Shyrone Carey also got an ovation when his name was announced. Carey was ruled ineligible for the Nokia Sugar Bowl for attempting to sell his tickets to the game.

The celebration was all about LSU, but it wasn't a love fest.

Fans booed Lt. Gov. Mitch Landrieu, and they booed louder when he announced that newly elected Gov. Kathleen Blanco could not attend because of prior commitments.

The Associated Press, which awarded its national championship to Southern California, also heard the crowd's disapproval when a representative gave Saban the organization's Coach of the Year award. The Tigers finished second to the University of Southern California in the AP poll.

Before the party shifted to Tiger Stadium, LSU participated in a downtown parade with Southwestern Athletic Conference champion Southern University. At North and 3rd streets, curbside seats were still available 45 minutes before the scheduled start -- an obvious surprise to the handful of fans who got there just before sunrise to set up their folding chairs to beat the expected rush.

The crowd soon swelled, becoming five to seven people deep in spots. LSU players, perched atop firetrucks, brought up the rear of the parade.

One observer handed freshman running back Justin Vincent a can of Silly String that the Sugar Bowl MVP squirted into the air. Most of it landed on the head of junior running back Joseph Addai.

As the parade ended at the Capitol, Emmert told the crowd, "They're not having this kind of celebration in Southern California."
