re: What's the Rant's opinion on "fans" wearing LSU and ULL colors this weekend?

I got a degree from LSU but I worked for USL (its name at the time) as well. I think the name thing is pretty petty and turns me off as an LSU grad, but I don't have the blind hatred that a lot of the LSU fanbase does.
I was torn last year when they played Ole Miss because I didn't want ULL in if LSU wasn't in because we'd never hear the end of it, but I wasn't going to outwardly pull for Ole Miss to do it.
If you put a gun to my head, I'd pull for LSU only and it's not even a debate.

I personally do not think there are that many LSU fans that have this "blind hatred" of ULL. yes, in a sports contex, there is a lot of trash talking but that is because sports competition is what it is. add that LSU is the "darling" of Louisiana there is simply not enough room for a challenger.
I think LSU fans (some) treat ULL unnecessarily bad and I think ULL fans (some) treat LSU unnecessarily bad. who started it? who knows and who cares. in my travels of Lafayette for business over the years I discovered a core of LSU haters that I was unaware that it existed (at the time). there is a general feeling amongst these haters that LSU gets the state funding over them and that LSU grads ignore them and look down on them. they just want some respect. i'll agree with the respect issue but as far as the state funding issue I don't. LSU and ULL officials, along with the other colleges in louisiana should band together and change whats needs to be changed to increase ALL state colleges funding. and yes, the state may need to shut down some of it's colleges.

i wonder whom Tiger fans in South LA have more contact with, Ole Miss or ULL fans. some of us know ULL people in person but only have contact with Ole Miss on message boards, so I know who I wanted to win
