re: I'd really like to convey something to the Tiger faithful...

Your rite man great post. LSU athletics is more of a hobby and part of our culture really. That said, you've got good ole Cajuns from every crack and crevise rolling down to BR to see the tigers play. That's the people who make it so unique. It's no diff than being in the middle of the spill way or in some town surrounded by thousands of acres of rice. They don't leave often but they'll definitely drop everything to suport their tigers.
