re: What does the nation outside of Louisiana say about LSU?

I lived in the Midwest for quite a while. The folks there think we all have alligators in our swampy front yards. They know New Orleans has good food but is too dangerous to visit. They have no other conception about the state, including sports, because they never hear anything else from the media.

Oh, and they think everyone talks with a Texas or Mississippi accent because that's what they hear in the movies.
