People get really bent out of shape, like somebody from LSU got their cat pregnant or something.

Anybody else get this?

Not once. In fact, most people seem to like LSU.

Maybe it's you. Do you hit them with your car first?

Here in MS, I get lots of comments but they are seldom anything to get shook up over...just lightweight ribbing.....I enjoy it...

No, found good conversation starters. I was in Los Angeles in 2005 wearing an LSU shirt, and a big time USC fan (had hat, jerzee on in the middle of summer) stopped and talked to me for 20 minutes.

My response to the idiots:

"Are you from Louisiana? No? Well...I am, and this is what we do. Deal."

FYI...I wore my LSU jersey onstage at a gig in Cincinnati. The looks were priceless!

I try to do it as much as possible, especially the week before and on the day we play UF. Most Gator fans are pretty cool about it.

I wear it all the time here in San Antonio. Only get jokers, nothing rude. Hell, the bar I go to is putting a national championship baseball poster up for me.

I live in Montgomery, AL and wear LSU gear regularly, like a t-shirt or ballcap. No one ever says anything. A guy came up to me one day and gave me a "Geaux Tigers." So, it was cool to identify another LSU fan.

But, other than that, no one ever says a word. People are pretty nice about it.

They don't show any reaction in Argentina! 'Football' down here is played with a round ball...

It depends where I have lived in this decade.

Michigan: indifference except for several months after Saban left MSU, then some Spartans were asking why I was wearing LSU. Most thought I was a UM guy trying to rub in the defection of their coach.

Nebraska: Most Children of the Corn were indignant to see someone wear apparel for a university other than Nebraska. Comments consisted of "Why are in you wearing that?" (in condescending tone) or "LSU sucks".

Dallas: I heard occasional comments of annoyance from fans of Zero U or Tex-arse. Mostly, people didn't care since they were focused on pro sports.

California: Most locals couldn't care less about college sports. A few times per yr, some locals ask, "What's LSU?". Some people see purple & gold & assume I'm a Lakers' fan.

Not so much here in Georgia. I wear LSU t-shirts or ball caps to the gym 3 times a week or so, usually get a good response rather than negative.
