New Orleans not huge Tiger Fans...
Posted on 11/5/09 at 8:40 pm
Posted on 11/5/09 at 8:40 pm
I am going to a party for the game where I will be reunited with many people I knew in high school (in NOLA, graduated in '91)
Many of these people went to Alabama and will be rooting for the tide on Saturday. Growing up there, I was NEVER an LSU fan, always a Saints fan. LSU seemed very removed from my life as a kid and through high school. It didn't seem strange to me at all that so many "of us" went to Georgia, Alabama, Ole Miss, UVA, Auburn, etc.
What is the deal with this? Hell, I almost went to AUBURN!! MY God! What was I thinking?
My question is...has this mentality changed at all since then? DO New Orleans high school graduates flock to LSU? Is the city contributing to the LSU fan base?
Looking back, it seems so odd that I didn't know a damned thing about LSU, and now I am a proud member of the LSU FIGHTING TIGER faithful!

FWIW I was friends with quite a few N.O. kids during my LSU days (finished undergrad in 03').

Why are Bama fans so sensative?

LSU owns NOLA, especially surrounding suburbs. Natl Championships have cemented it even more, since I have lived here. Being in the retail industries, LSU is everywhere on game days. Even students who go to other schools in the area, with exception of Tulane, root for LSU.

That is good to hear! I would hate for them to miss out on being a part of Tiger Nation!

I went to LSU late 80's-mid 90's and knew TONS of people from N.O. LSU seemed like the place to be for them...

well, the reason why alot of your friends went out of state is because you went to a rich kid school.
was that really that hard to figure out? damn...

I grew up uptown and still have many friends there and I never could figure out why parents would spend $15,000 a year sending their kids to Newman, Sacred Heart, McGehee, Country Day, etc and then when they graduate send them out of state to another state U no bettter than LSU.

Yeah people from Sacred Heart and Newman don't go to LSU for the most part. Just about everyone else does . My whole senior class was LSU or UNO with a handful somewhere else like one to Vandy, one to Ms. State, one to Auburn.
