It is not penis envy at all. I think the main reason (true or untrue) is that the majority of Tulane fans think that LSU goes at it athletically the wrong way....They worry about athletics first and academics .. not so much ... They also think that LSU breaks the rules to get where they are ... IMHO LSU is not unlike the majority of big time college athletic programs but I guess since it is the closest geographically to most Tulane fans (they are inundated with LSU news on a daily basis) that they have grown to hate them because in their belief they have achieved things the wrong way...

I have seen it first hand .. guys who grew up huge LSU fans and marry into Tulane families and now can not stand them for the reason that I mentioned. They say that they have seen the light and have no idea how they could have pulled from them earlier in life.

I am not trying to flame at all - just giving you guys reasons why the hate exists...

I had uncles who played baseball for Tulane, and they're both LSU fans, FWIW.

This is one of the stupidest things i have ever read on here. Most of the Tulane fans that hate LSU aren't even Tulane alums. It's alot more simple some NOLA people grew up liking Tulane....LSU owns Tulane....which breeds hatred and jealousy.

They say that to justify why they don't win. In the same breath they pray that their administration will lighten up and open a University College again.

That's pretty freaking amusing coming from fans of a school that dropped its men's basketball program after a point-shaving and NCAA violations scandal.
