If you go to the game tonight be sure to boo the Brown players when they are introduced. That will show them not to mess with us LSU fans!!!
Have you ever sat by the opponents bullpens? Ever been in ear shot of the comments to the opposing teams left and right fielders? It's not all "back slaps" and "well wishes". And you know what, it adds to the atmosphere. It makes it fun. I have never read a quote from an opponent, or an LSU player on the road for that matter, saying that the fans were rude to them. Well, I guess Joey Belle felt someone at Dudy Noble crossed the line, but other than him...

I sat out there last year, and I laughed at the fans every time. They would heckle everything the outfielder would do.

I agree. The players get a laugh from it. The surrounding fans get a laugh. It is part of enjoying the game in different ways. Assuming the heckling is done in jest.

I sat on the front row right behind the bench in the opponents bullpen with my dad for about 8-9 years. They heckled the guys constantly but never said anything that crossed the line or got personal. Occasionally, some of the clever players for opposing teams would shoot something back that was pretty funny.
I've told this story on here before but I feel this is an appropriate time to insert it. There was a catcher for one of the opposing teams that wore this big glove underneath his catcher's mitt. It looks like a big gardening glove or something. There was this guy about 7-8 rows behind us that ALWAYS gave the guys in the bullpen a good laugh with his heckling. He asked him if that glove was for when he rode bulls. The catcher looked up without missing a beat and said "No, it's for when I ride your mother". The whole section erupted in laughter. It was great.

This is fine too, just like the applause.

I was in the right field bleachers in the 1994 Baton Rouge regional when USC had a right fielder named Jacque Jones.
The right field fans rode his arse hard. When Jones batted for his first at bat, he hit a two-run home run. When he returned to right field after that, the fans there were telling him "You were lucky! Even a blind hog finds an acorn now and then!" Jones never acknowledged the catcalls.
The next time Jones came to bat he hit another two-run home run. When he came back to his position after that half inning, the fans really got on him. "You used up all your luck now, son! You'll never hit another home run in your life!" Again, Jones ignored them.
His next at bat he hit ANOTHER two-run home run.
When he returned to his position in right field, the entire bleacher crew gave him a standing ovation. The kid grinned wide and tipped his hat to the fans. THAT is showing respect between good fans and an opposing player.
LSU won that game 12-10 to return to Omaha. Todd Walker was the MVP of that regional.
Jones went on to play in the major leagues for several years.
