re: What's your story? - How did you become a fan?

I grew up a casual LSU fan in Natchez, MS. Neither of my parents were big college football fans and I went to one game while I was in high school. I looked at going to LSU, but ended up going to Millsaps College in Jackson, MS. Not much college football going on there either. After 2 1/2 years at Millsaps, I transferred to Ole Miss after visiting one weekend. I hated Ole Miss in high school, but in comparison to Millsaps it was awesome. I was a rebel (black bear) fan for a good while. In 2007 I met my future wife who was an LSU alumni and season ticket holder. She was EXTREMELY passionate about LSU football. We attended every home game that year and a few away games (even though we lived in Memphis). I was HOOKED! Her little brother and my little sister both graduated from LSU and we would go to every home game we could. I figure it this way... life is too short to not maximize my happiness. And being an LSU fan is a good way to be happy if you like college football. We now have a little girl who is dressed in Purple & Gold every Saturday in the fall. We've owned season tickets to LSU & Ole Miss since we met. We've been to 2 Ole Miss games (where LSU played them) and ALL but about 2 LSU games. I love LSU, I love my wife, & I love the state of Louisiana!
