Beer pong is a tailgating staple, but for many creative Tiger fans, rickety, dilapidated tables just don’t cut it.
Devin Klein, construction management sophomore, is a mastermind behind one brilliant beer pong table complete with a washer system for the ball.
The vibrant table holds more than 680 LED lights that form triangle designs at each end and outline the LSU logo in the middle of the table, covered with a piece of plexiglass to protect it from water damage.
Klein said the plexiglass cost about $150 &- the most expensive part of the project.
Klein built the table during the summer with his roommates &- mechanical engineering sophomore Dylan Aucoin, computer science sophomore Trey Gaulter and computer science sophomore Taylor Hymel &- and two friends who attend Southeastern Louisiana University.
Aucoin said the table cost more than $700 to build and he and his roommates are still paying for occasional repairs. He said water has gotten under the plexiglass in one area of the table and someone stepped on one of the circuits that controls the LED lights at a party.
The roommates said they sometimes get nervous about keeping the table safe in their own apartment.
“There’s always that drunk person that wants to sit on the table and you’re like, ‘Why would you even think that’s an option?'” Klein said.
Klein said he’s not worried about someone trying to steal the table, however. It would be impossible for one person to carry.
“You’d need a whole team of people,” Klein said.
