Pre-emptive cool story, bro!

I was at a tapas place in Seville, Spain yesterday. My son was wearing a LSU hat, and the waiter said "GO TIGERS!" in terrible English. He said he is a huge NBA and NCAA basketball fan, and loves LSU. I thought he was just being nice, but then he mentioned that he watched the game this week, and was really bummed about the loss - not something a casual fan would say the day after the game and with 7 hours of time difference. We chatted for a little while, and he gave us a few free drinks which was cool. Glad to see LSU so well represented globally.

TLDR.... LSU has fans in southern Spain. They give free drinks to other LSU fans.

Similar situation in a gift shop in Luss, Scotland about 3 years ago. The guy at the sales counter saw my cap and said Go Tigers! I asked how he knew about LSU and he said he had a nephew that adored American football and LSU. I left him the cap.

A good friend of mine, NOT ME, was at the Bunny Ranch in a Fournette jersey. Said all the girls broke into a GEAUX TIGERS chant

I got a geaux tigers in Cadiz couple years ago.
Upsets the wife, but 95% of my flights abroad are in tiger gear.
LSU fandom knows no boundaries, even Madagascar, Falklands, and of course Australia has a huge LSU following.

Were they from the natives or other LSU [Louisiana] fans?

I've run into home grown LSU fans all over the world wearing purple and gold!

Agreed on Barcelona!

This thread is a good inspiration---going to Korea in April and will wear lots of LSU gear. Will report back if I get any Go Tigers!
