born in NOLA but grew up in MS dealing will Ole Miss and State fans. I'll never forget watching the LSU-UF game when LSU won. I was in 4th grade and I could feel the adults in the room wanting to kick my arse because I was cheering for LSU

Birth of course(born in BR in 1988). My first game was LSU-UF (97), I consider myself a religious fan, and baseball being my favorite LSU sport. I"m in year 5 of the NAVY, living in Gator country, and my daughter is wearing an LSU shirt right now haha.

Thats the good thing about LSU, theyre really a likeable team. I met a couple guys in the NAVY from Southern California and Wyoming. They watched the LSU-TENN game in 2010 and instantly became fans.

Since I was born on Highland Rd. Made some bad decisions and never ended up here for college, but my burning love for LSU has always remained.

That night early in my freshmen fall when I got head from a drunk Kappa next to the dumpster behind Murphy's.

I knew right then and there this place would always hold a special place in my heart.

Within 15 minutes of walking through the oaks I looked to my mother and said "Mom, I feel like I'm home again."


After moving away from BR for the first time after I graduated from LSU this really struck home. Every time I go back to campus I fall in love with it all over again.

Since I was born I was going to be a Tiger. I had too many people around me to make sure I was. I'm also from Baton Rouge.

I went to every baseball game growing up, but my earliest football memory was being at the 1997 Florida game

Since birth. My dad went to LSU so I grew up going to several games a year, and to this day I rep LSU even though Im a student at FSU. In other words my dad brainwashed me

Was born in Honduras in 1993 and my father wanted my two older brothers and I to learn English and get a good education so we moved to New Orleans in 1998. My brother Mario who is 4 years older than me started following football a bit after we moved and he would always talk about how awesome the Saints were and then how awesome LSU was in football. Naturally, I followed his lead. So, in the process of learning the game around 2001 with the Saints and 2002 with LSU, I fell in love. Vaguely remember the 02-04 seasons. Didn't understand the magnitude of what was going on during the 03 season when we won it all cuz I was only 10. Really became a hardcore fan in 06 with J-Roc and crew. I remember that stupid Auburn game

Anyways, next up was deciding on whether or not I would be going to college and I knew since I was about 10 that LSU was the only place I wanted to be. 7 years later during my senior year of high school in 10-11 I got accepted

Both of my brothers couldn't make it to college, the oldest, who is 8 years older than me, went to trade school and my LSU fan brother Mario couldn't come because he takes care of my ill father. So, as a sophomore, I'd like to think that I'm fulfilling his dreams of coming here and my own along with making my family proud.

Forgive me for any typos or bad grammar
