I would definitely wear LSU gear. Thing is, it doesn't mean that i'm there to start shite, it means I spent my time and money at Cajun Field, and wanted to experience your enviroment.

If you're spending money, that's great. In fact, thanks for the support. But at the same time, when I go to an LSU game, I NEVER wear red or UL attire unless the Cajuns are playing in Tiger Stadium that day. It was like the man at the Saints game who wore an Aaron Rogers jersey the day we played Kansas City. A few fans gave him the "wrong stadium, buddy" ribbing, and some other fans looked at him with a little confusion. It tends to happen when you wear attire of a team who's not playing at that venue.

Also, as hard as it is to do, Cajun fans are trying to get just a little breathing room from being under LSU's big shadow. It's very difficult to do that when they're 50 miles apart. I love it when LSU fans try to say, "well ULL is trying to be like LSU." Not necessarily true. Do we want a 92,000 seat stadium? No. Would it be nice? Sure. Would we one day like to compete for a national title? Absolutely. What school wouldn't want that opportunity? That doesn't mean we want to be like LSU. We are just trying to rise from the ashes of defeat and striving to be the best that we can be. And when someone wears an LSU shirt to a UL function, it sort of sets the vibe to some that "hey, LSU is still here so know your place." Even though I know that is not always the case.

Personally, I welcome any one who comes to Cajun Field on Saturdays. All I ask is for a little consideration to wear something along the reddish side.
