re: Michigan is garbage

While I have no problems with the Michigans and the Penn States of the world, I will say that those guys really do live in the past. You have to respect their teams and coaches...they were real power houses back in the day. But this is today, and things are different. Last year when Penn St. and LSU played in the Capital 1 Bowl, their fans were the MOST obnoxious group of people I'd ever seen. i witnessed several being escorted out of the stands by Police. (And trust me, being from LSU I know what obnoxious is..and this was worse) They were spitting on LSU fans, calling us names, throwing stuff at us, etc. After the game, my family and I were at Disney World and the Penn St. fans kept coming up to the LSU fans and telling us how embarrassed we made ourselves look, how we shouldn't be wearing our LSU sweatshirts, and just down right being very rude. This continued like 2 days after the game was over. At first I felt angered by it, and I really wanted to come back at them with a good comeback. But I didn't. Their team isn't what it used to be...they haven't won a championship in who knows how long (the 80's I think?), and the students who go there most likely won't see their school win a championship. I was very blessed to have been a student during the last championship run, and the experience I had being in the Superdome and watching our team beat OSU was something I'll never forget. So, in the end I took the high road and just laughed at the rude Penn St. fans and gave them a good "Geaux Tigers" and moved on. These fans from these "used to be great" schools will cling to their former glory as long as they can.
