I grew up in Lafayette, love the city still, and was a huge USL basketball fan when Shipley was dominating state basketball. But as I grew older, being an LSU fan since the age of 5 because of my father's love for LSU football, I was eventually forced to choose, by my USL friends & professional peers. The hate for LSU was that strong. So, now I am an LSU fan only. And will add this: I will pull as hard for USL , sports wise, as their fans pull for LSU. It's no coincidence that Lafayette is full of Alabama fans now.

That may sound a tad hyperbolic to those not in the Lafayette area, but it really isn't...at least among certain groups.

You remember the idiotic PR campaign about supporting USL athletics because ""It's Good for Business?" I'm sure it is. You know what's fricking BETTER for business? Supporting LSU, since there's NO DOUBT more LSU season ticket holders in the Acadiana Area than total asses in seats on any given Saturday at Cajun Field. That's not even talking about the metric shite-ton of basic LSU fans who support the Tigers who don;t often go to games.

But no...you can't openly support LSU here without hearing at least some fricking chirping from some militant asshat...
