No way in Hell. I don't care what LSU does. I have one team and one team only and that has always been the Saints. I don't get the whole pulling for a college that you never attended. I'll bet you that 95% of so called LSU fans have never taken a single course at LSU-Baton Rouge.

And I suppose you played for, or were affiliated with the Saints? What a dumb, grumpy comment.

Of course not. Professional sport allegiance is different than college sports, as far as I am concerned. But, I am affiliated with the Saints emotionally since learning the new state to which I moved at age nine was getting its own NFL team. I never really had any personal interest in any college team until I attended NC State and that remains the only college program that I actively support.

No grumpiness involved. I guess given that LSU is the only major college program in the state is what gives it its popularity to non-affiliated fans. It wasn't that way in North Carolina with five major programs.

I can see the point went right over your head. Your rationale for being a Saints fan is that you are emotionally connected to them. All the other side bar comments you made are really neither here nor there. And emotions are what connect ALL fans to ANY team.

A fake fan is one who only supports winning teams, and constantly jumps from one team to another. We call those bandwagon fans. I know you're familiar with the term. For me, my Dad went to LSU and I grew up watching LSU with him. I never went there, but they are the state school, and I've always loved them and do not pull for any other college team.

So if you have a problem with me calling myself an LSU fan, then I have a problem with you calling yourself a Saints fan. And for you to say "it wasn't like that in North Carolina" is bull crap. Yeah, you have more major universities there, but if you think that all fans of those teams went to those colleges, you are lying to yourself.

So I have a great idea, to remove all confusion. Why don't we all just pull for whoever we want to, and why don't you just find something else to complain about.

I didn't attend LSU, but I sure did party there a few times. Challenging someone's 'fanhood' is what little men do. I agree with you 110%.

Not challenging fanhood, just saying that I don't understand being a fan of a college team with no ties whatsoever. Especially if said person did attend a school with a sports program elsewhere. That has the stench of "bandwagonism" to which burningmetal mentioned earlier. If LSU was perennially outside of the top 25 like, say, La Tech, would they still have the statewide following that they enjoy today?

You are confused... If La Tech had the history, was part of the SEC and beat Alabama, it would be a different story. But it ain't close.

It is all about the history, the SEC and the fact that the SEC is a Super Conference in college football. Do you realize that LSUs stadium holds 102,321 fans. You ever sit in the nose bleed seat? Wow... that is high.

Guido... you may need to go back to the Asylum on this one sir.
My bird feels insulted, and now has a neck ache.

Hey, why'd you have to go an drag Tech into this?

Go Bulldogs!!
