re: When and Why did you become an LSU Tiger?

I am fourth generation LSU. My Great-Grandfather and my Grandfather, several Uncles and Aunts all graduated from LSU. Dad had a little too much fun but I was raised as a Tiger. Went to football games starting in the late 70's and loved every single second of it. Left Louisiana in 94 but I still go to games every year.
When I was looking at colleges, I really had no choice where I would go. I got into 2 prestigious East Coast schools but they had no football team. So I choose LSU.
My advice to kids looking at colleges is to pick one with a great football program (of course I just say LSU but you have to give them a choice sometimes). You can get a great education anywhere if you apply yourself but you cannot create the camaraderie, the passion and the spirit that I see in LSU Tigers around the world.
My wife is from Pennsylvania and went to a school without football and she truly does not understand how I feel about LSU - the football and the school.
