Since graduating from LSU 15 years ago, I've lived in 3 out of 10 of the biggest cities in the country, but always wish I could live in BR during football season.
No doubt the best place in the country during football season. No other place I have lived can compare. Yes, there are many other cities with multiple sports venues and many other amenities, but Baton Rouge, for the ones who grew up here and LIVED Tiger football ( and basketball when they are good), they understand the passion that surrounds this sports program and understand what I mean when I say I am lucky to live here.

I love living here. I didn't grow up here but came here to go to LSU. Took a job and moved away for about 5 years after college. I jumped at the chance to come back here.

Subtract LSU from Baton Rouge and say that with a straight face. And they are at least right about New Orleans And yes, I lived in Baton Rouge about
7 years, and when LSU has a bad season, it sucks. Too much obsession with the tigers.

This thread could have been written word for word by me, with BR changed to NO (then Kenner, then Metry :)
Growing up I was a Saints fan and an LSU fan, period.
Before I knew what a Tulane was, one Sunday morning in October of 1968, I was watching Tulane highlights with Coach Jim Pittman. My Dad said,
'boy what in the hell are you watching?'
And he then told me about Cholly Mac and
the Tigers.
He took me to my first LSU game Oct. 25, 1969
against Auburn. I don't remember much as I was so little, just that we scored on the first play and won by 1 point.
He took me to my first Saints game in Oct, 1971, as the Saints and Archie upset the eventual Super Bowl Champion Cowboys 24-14.
I do remember Ch. 4 and Jim Barry showing Dempsey's kick over and over the night of Nov. 8, 1970 also

You people need to get out and leave the cave sometime, maybe even cross the state line and experience something new. If living in BRLA is perfectly fine and acceptable, I truly feel sorry for you. Really nothing to be said if that's your entire life experince.
Lived in Merritt Island, FL (15 yrs), Wake Forest, NC (2 years), and now Katy, TX. All great places, but would love to live in Red Stick. No need to feel sorry for me. I have an over-developed appreciation of this thing called home.

I'm not going to rip this guy b/c he's happy about being born & raised in B.R. I wasn't born there & only lived there during my 9 semesters @ LSU. I have no sentimental attachment to the place. Pride in one's home is like music: not everyone shares the same taste. So I say to each his own.
If he had spouted off about Baton Rouge being so unique & wonderful & that anyone who doesn't agree is moron who should be barred from the city & never allowed to return, I would have dropped the hammer on him.
I encountered such myopic mentality in Lin-colon, Nebraska when I endured 3 yrs there. Co-workers & total strangers acted indignantly toward me for daring to wear LSU apparel & generally not giving a rat's arse about their center of their reason for being: the Cornhuskers. I lost track how many times Children of the Corn told me, "You live here so you should be a fan", "You shouldn't wear all that LSU stuff here", or just "LSU sucks".
Trust me, Baton Rouge looks resembles Las Vegas or Orlando in terms of culture, entertainment & joy of living in general compared to the capital of Cornland
