What's the guy's name?

damn stalker!!

Yeah, the one with the truck.

"Big Lee" aka Lee Martin. I pass his house almost every morning.

Big Lee's lair

Take a stroll down Bonnabel Boulevard and it's pretty easy to spot which house belongs to Lee Martin.

It begins with the truck out front aptly named "Big Lee," and the oversized LSU flag hanging from a cable line running to the home. Two white concrete tigers greet visitors as they walk up the steps to the front door. Oh, and if there's a need to take a breather before heading inside, a couple of LSU folding chairs rest on the porch.

That's just the beginning.

The interior looks like some sort of shrine. And for those who don't like purple or gold, it might not be a good idea to go any farther. To some, it might be described as gaudy. To others, it could be called simply awesome.

One step inside and it's not very difficult to figure out Martin is a bachelor, although interestingly enough he said this all started from a relationship he had years ago. Of course, she was an LSU cheerleader at the time. And, uh, they're not dating anymore.

The hallway mostly is adorned with LSU posters and front pages of newspapers from past Tigers championships.

Then comes the coup de grace -- the full-sized LSU pool table surrounded on the floor by several mats cut out in the shape of the Tigers' logo.

"I dated that cheerleader, and it all kind of went overboard after that," Martin said. "A cheerleader changed everything. My truck, my house, she picked out the felt to the pool table. I don't drink, I don't gamble, I just spend all my extra money on LSU. That's about it."

He does catch grief over being such a fanatic. After the Tigers lost to Arkansas five weeks ago and it appeared as if they were out of the running for the BCS title, someone left a picture in his mailbox of Razorbacks running back Darren McFadden blowing past LSU defenders on the way to a touchdown.

And last year, apparently some of his neighbors left a little note to the head of the "LSU Metairie Campus." The letter, in part, read: "Attn. Head Coach/President/Majority Stockholder: It is with pleasure that we neighbors congratulate you for single-handedly creating our newest LSU campus.

"It is not so nice to travel down our beloved boulevard and see your LSU spirit in the form of a daily Mardi Gras carnival. Unavoidingly seeing your overly proud display of colors, banners, logos, ballcaps and big-boy-tinker-toy truck is frankly OVER THE TOP!

"Please do not take offense to this criticism...(You must be) suffering from an inferiority complex, lack of ego and personality deficiency. In short, our LSU 'Big Lee Tiger,' you are in need of some boyfriends or girlfriends to help you find an identity OTHER than the one to which you have been waving your flag."

Martin, though, shrugs it off with a laugh. He says his neighbors can't appreciate what he feels for his Tigers, and he couldn't care less who doesn't like it.

He feels the love from his fellow fans.

"It's a way of life in Louisiana," he said. "It started with my truck. People got really excited about it, and I just kept putting more and more LSU stickers on it. Everybody knew Big Lee. Wherever I go, I say I'm Big Lee on Bonnabel Boulevard, and they know...They always tell me, 'My kids love your truck,' and they get excited.

"After Katrina, my pool table got wet and the windows got busted, so I had my table refelted. Then I just started buying helmets, pillows, flags for my house. Everything in my garage is LSU. They even give me a 20 percent discount at the LSU gift shop. When I walk in, they always yell 'Hey Big Lee.'"

The only time he has a little trouble is when he's starting a relationship and he's not sure how they'll react when they see his plethora of memorabilia.

"Usually when I bring a girl home, she'll walk in and just say, 'Wow. I didn't go to LSU, but wow,'¤" Martin said. "They take a deep breath and just look around. I tell them, 'Baby, as long as you're not a Tulane fan, you're more than welcome at my house.'"

He said nothing, though, about an Ohio State fan. That could depend on the outcome Monday night.
