I grew up an LSU fan and eventually developed a large disdain for AU football (grew up in Auburn and got to listen to a LOT of AU fans talking shite). I got full tuition scholarships to both AU and LSU, but chose AU because they have a better engineering department. I try and pull for AU, but as soon as they fall behind I start to laugh and pull for the other team (I was enjoying the Utah State upset while it lasted). I am still a huge LSU fan and still pull for LSU over AU. I chose AU for an education and have no attachment to their sports.

I went to LSU for 2 years and then switched to UNO. My son goes to Tenn Tech and my daughter goes to Memphis - both huge LSU fans because it is in their blood. My dad went to LSU and taught at LSU. I have 2 uncles that played for LSU and one went on to play pro football and is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. LSU is a family tradition - my first football game was an LSU game. What possible effing difference does it make if you went there or not?

I grew up in Houston dreaming of playing baseball for Texas. Moved to LA my Jr year of high schooling '89. Wasn't a big fan until '94 (?) when I made my first game, a loss to Kentucky. The whole atmosphere was "cool".

The next yr(?) I was on the first row of the student sect when we beat Auburn (ranked #2). Then, it was AWESOME.

In '96, got a job at the LSU vet school, and have had season tix since.

There is no better football experience than the one at LSU anywhere in the country at any level. Hands down.
