re: I wish I were a real fan.

Dude...I too always thought I was a real fan and sadly have been educated by the alum that I am wrong I grew up in Houma, LA and wanted to attend LSU my entire life. However, I joined the Air Force at 17 yrs old and have been serving for the last 21 yrs. Unfortunately, I have not been able to attend as many games as I would have liked due to military obligations and the extensive road trip that would be required from places like Korea, Columbia, etc. My family and I have always been huge LSU supporters without fail...we have dealt with the other extreme SEC fanbases throughout our time in the military being stationed in Florida during the Surrier years (97 was awful sweet though) and now in Georgia.

What it all comes down to is do you truly support your team or not...I have no plans of stopping anytime soon
