That’s what so many ULL fans don’t realize. This in state hatred IS NOT HOW THIS WORKS. ULL will NEVER be LSU’s equal in athletics. And that’s ok. It’s even ok to be happy when ULL beats LSU. But living in Lafayette so many ULL fans actively cheer for LSU to lose every weekend because they somehow believe it makes ULL better when LSU loses. Root for both and then pick a side when they play each other, the jealousy of hoping to somehow “hurt” LSU is just childish. For the record….wife (no pics) has a degree from USL and one from UL and mine is from SLU, child attends LSU.

You think I don’t know that? LSU has like 5-6x our athletic budget and is in the SEC.

The honest reason why some of our fans root against LSU isn’t because of they think we will be better. It’s the arrogant “know your place,” “you’re a junior college,” “ULLLLL” nonsense some of us have to hear regularly from a few of the diehards who recently hopped on the LSU bandwagon. Personally, I don’t care. I have friends that played for LSU and family that attended the school. But in all honesty, when we have to hear that, why would some of our fans reciprocate with support?

There is no recently hopped on the bandwagon. People are LSU fans from birth. They don’t even know what ULL is until they’re a junior in HS and college options are being discussed.

LSU = Louisiana. What’s so difficult here?

And these LSU fans are just as moronic as the ULL fans who root against LSU.

But I’ve had to listen to so many Cajun fans tell me how LSU is the big bad with of who “kept them down” and were so Jealous of USL (at the time) that it’s absurd.

Funny part is as percentages go, personal experience living in Lafayette, it’s the most vocal, obnoxious, “look at me” Cajun fans who are like this (again my experience living here for over 20 years) compared to about 2% of LSU fans I know. Seriously most LSU fans don’t care about the Ragin Cajuns.

People do that because your school is a directional in every sense of the word but your admin and fans can't accept it. The need to run away from USL and then again from ULL so you can be The University of Louisiana, is, for me, sad and desperate. Compare your school athletically and academically to other universities in the SEC footprint that bear their state's name. One is not like the others.
