Have been out here on the west coast since 2000 and benefited from the fact that my first boss was a huge Laker fan. Jackson had just arrived and it was the first of championships for Shaq and Kobe. Most people that I encounter are very curious about Louisiana culture and have Tiger Stadium (as well as NOLA Mardi Gras) on their bucket list. They are aware of college baseball, thanks to CS Fullerton, Long Beach, Stanford, USC, UC Irvine, etc.
Regarding academics, if they look down their noses at LSU, it isn't apparent. Most people here didn't attend Stanford, USC, but the smaller, over-crowded state schools. I hold my own in my field and that carries more weight than the esteem of the school(s) I attended.

I work with a guy from Memphis and who grew up in St. Louis. For whatever reason, he loves LSU.
I think his main reason is he hates Ole Miss and Bama so much, actually.
Anyway, I am in contact with folks nationwide in my work, either in person or by phone. Every single one of them are intrigued by my country arse accent AND by LA culture.
Most folks out of the way think all of LA is covered in swamps, alligators, and Cajuns.
One lady told me she came to LA once and didn't understand why we ate rice as much as we did. Go figure.
And most everyone outside the rivals seem to have great respect for LSU football and baseball.
