re: Big boomer graph says only 4% of LSU fans actually attended LSU

I could have went to LSU, but I prefer living in Texas, so I attended Texas State.

As far as my fandom goes, I spent several football seasons growing up in Walker watching my Tigers, and I’m not just going throw that fandom away because I’m affiliated with another school academically. I always supported LSU, even in the dark years (1989-94, 98-99) and cheered for them when everyone else at my junior high and later high school jumped on Florida, Florida State, and Michigan’s bandwagon. It was great coming back to BR and seeing everyone wearing LSU hats at the Texas Club in 2004. I did think to myself, “Where was this support in 1996,” but I was glad to see everything coming full circle.

So anyone who subscribes to the whole “T-Shirt fan” theory can suck a nut. We all have different paths in life.
