re: Why do you have to be a graduate to be a true fan?

I moved from BR to VB,VA in 1980 at age 11. Have lived in VB ever since. My formative sports years where the late 70's, and I fell in love with LSU. Obviously, I didn't attend LSU, but am a HUGE fan since childhood, and that will NEVER change
I live in the Richmond, Va area, but moved from Louisiana at 33 years old. The only football team I cheer for and with a TON of passion is LSU. I didn't attend LSU, but was born and raised in Louisiana listening to John Ferguson and Jim Hawthorne with my dad.
In my opinion people born in Louisiana, but did not attend LSU are truly bigger fans than people from out of state that attended LSU and stayed in Louisiana, because it is in their blood.

My parents are die hard LSU fans and Neither of my parents graduated from LSU, but they did put 3 kids through LSU so they have as big a right as anyone to be a True fan

I listened to most every game I could on the radio as a North Louisiana kid growing up (yes, I'm also a cowboys fan so hate away). In those days most of the LSU games weren't on TV.
My dad took me to my first game as a 9-10 year old in Tiger Stadium around 1969-70 and I was hooked! However, I worked my way through school at NLU.
It always gets under my skin a little bit when I run across LSU graduates that think I'm less of a fan than they are. Many are LSU grads because their Mom and Dad paid for it.
I wore an LSU cap to a high school ball game last year in DFW. After a short conversation about LSU Football with a guy, he made it clear to me that he "actually went to LSU" in a condescending manner.
To all of you that think you are better than myself because you actually went there. Just so you know; I'll be at the Miami game on labor day weekend wearing my LSU hat whether you like it or not!
