To me I always felt like LSU represented Louisiana. When I graduated from high school in '97, I joined the Air Force. LSU became sort of my connection to home. I can vividly remember while I was in Basic Training, my dad sending me articles and news paper clippings of LSU's run and victory in Omaha. I think for many, LSU is more than a school to Louisianans. It's part of our culture, and part of that whole Louisiana Saturday Night mystique. In my opinion, it's not important whether you attended classes on campus, but rather you joined in and support the school and what it represents. All one has to do is remember back that Arizona St. game some 6 years ago, to understand that as LSU goes, so goes the state.

Ask anyone who went to LSU and moved away for a job, grad school, etc. LSU represents Louisiana. Its our connection to home. Its more than a school, its part of our culture. darkstarr_drgga got it exactly right!
