Why I love LSU fans.

The thing I enjoy most about college football is the excitement and passion that the game provides for the fans and perhaps no one is more excited than the crazy a$$ LSU fans. At home they pack the stadium and they are loud. They are knowledgeable about the game and know when to yell and when not to yell. let me mention just a few things that are unique about LSU fans.

1. They dress crazy for the games. Now many schools in the conference dress up for football game Saturday because it is an event. Something other parts of the country fail to understand. LSU fans take it to a new level. A purple and gold elvis? Get out of here.

2. They have some of the best pranks. Remember when LSU fans were getting the phone number of the better players on opposing teams and calling them during game week (Tebow, Moreno,etc.)

3. No one tailgates like the cajuns of bayou bengals of LSU. We all tailgate, it's just that the quality of food at a LSU tailgate is at another level. In fact, I am quite sure many UGA tailgaters are steeping up their menu this week just to stay competitive.

As a side not I worked at the UGA police for about 15 years and during this time we got to see just about every bit of craziness imaginable. I didn't think anyone could drink more than the Tennessee fans then LSU came to town. They brought their carravan of motorhomes and the craziness that followed. Everyone that I spoke with was hospitable and nice, but that was just a facade to throw us off the trail. The night before the game somehow some LSU fans got on the Sanford Stadium field in spite of the field alarm and active stadium patrol and wrote LSU on about the 20 yard line. Crazy Cajuns.

For me college football is about fun and passionate fun. Taking it serious without being Harvey Updike serious. LSU fans seem to understand this and display it more than just about any other fanbase. Good luck Saturday, just not too much luck.
