The Ensminger family had a birthday dinner Thursday. It was just a portion of Ensminger clan, the group that jokingly refers to itself as the Clampetts as they pack in cars and hotel rooms to go to every one of Steve Ensminger's away games.
It's the LSU offensive coordinator's 60th birthday Saturday -- the day LSU plays Auburn -- so the family had to celebrate two days early. They went to Walk-On's. Never anything fancy for the no-nonsense coach. His wife, his three children, two of their spouses and his two grandchildren were there.
But it wasn't clear if the birthday boy was going to show up.
