I attended LSU but didn't graduate there and I'm about as die hard of a fan as anyone

I think some people feel like they have a bigger connection to the university if they attended there and I can kinda get that

Someone once asked me why I was a bigger LSU fan than a Saints fan. My answer was simply that I had a connection to the university since I went there. You can't get that same type of connection with an NFL franchise unless you worked for them in some capacity.

I'm a huge saints fan, but don't go out of my way to see a game. I do for LSU, mainly because I went there and the connection is real.

I might feel differently if I was my father. He is an LSU fan, but never went to college. He is also a huge saints fan, but they became a franchise when he was a child.

I was born into being a Saints fan even with their perennial suckage. Them winning a Superbowl was something I never thought would happen.
