I think that most sidewalk fans, at least the diehards, don't have much in their lives to look forward to, which results in the heavy emotional investment in a college team that they have no true affiliation with.


I can agree with that.


True of any school. LSU just has a lot more of those fans than a lot of schools.

LSU is imbedded in the culture of Louisiana. Most LSU fans have been fans since birth. You're not going to all of a sudden abandon that and go with another team if you don't attend LSU.

I was born and raised in Baton Rouge so I'm naturally an LSU fan. But I root for all Louisiana teams to do as well as they can.

You would think that with the anti-bandwagon sentiment of this board, you'd see some backlash against sidewalk alumni...

It's easy to be an LSU fan in LA. It takes a bit more to pull for the underdog.
