I was in a Charlotte, NC grocery store this morning wearing my LSU hat when an older gentleman (around 80) with his wife gave me a "Geaux Tigers." Don't hear it often in Charlotte, let alone from someone as seasoned as this gentleman.

Costa Rica....on a bus heading to Nicaragua. Some kid from NOLA was on the bus and I was wearing my 2003 NC hat.

I also saw a LOT of LSU hats in Nicaragua....they love baseball.

I just back from Disney World and I probably got 10 "Geaux Tigers" while there.

At my cousin's wedding in College Station, TX.

She and her husband are Aggie alums. His whole family is nothing but Aggie fanatics, and our side of the family is obviously filled with Tiger fans.

During the course of the reception, all the Aggie fans gathered in a circle and did the War Hymn (or that's what I was told it was after) anyway, they started it with some other Aggie chant then the War hymn came, it was very soft and solemn.

All of my family did not like it, so we got on either side of them and started a GEAUX.....TIGERS chant.

Needless to say, they were less than amused.

Jacksonville Oregon, this guy comes down the sidewalk to find me. He saw my hat and shirt from the window of the bar he was in.

Parris Island. A young marine directing traffic to parking areas for the graduation ceremony of new marines noticed the tag and windscreen on the front of our truck. Waved us into the parking area after stopping oncomming traffic and said "Geaux Tigers" into the passenger side window as we passed.

New York. It was unlikely because I wasn't wearing Tiger gear at the time. Upper West side waiting to cross the street I hear a GEAUX TIGERS. It was I guy that I had graduated with.

Porec, Croatia by a Croatian cab driver who barely spoke english. He was randomly a huge LSU fan because some cousin of his made his american dream in baton rouge and sends them LSU gear all the time.

On a flight from Dallas to Phoenix. It may not a unusual place, but the hot arse flight attendant was a LSU grad. She walked by me when I 1st sat down and said Geaux Tigers and then said the drinks were on her!!! I got hammered on Crown and water.

It isn't really that unlikely of a place with a lot of alumni living there....but walking into a random bar in NYC a few weeks ago I was greeted with a loud GEAUX TIGERS after 3 girls noticed my LSU hoodie.
