re: Here is a LA Tech message board

USL fans will openly root for Bama because they are such a miserable bunc. Tech wants LSU to win for the party but will enjoy our melt down.

As a former Tech undergrad, there was a lot of anti LSU while I was there. I half-hearted got into it, but never really could truly be ANTI-LSU. But having been there, I think there's a difference.

ULL is pissy and little-brotherly. It's just obnoxious; there's no realism. A sense of entitlement maybe? Tech has more of a middle finger attitude. It's more love of being a Tech fan and less hating LSU for stealing the spotlight. Tech knows it's a smaller school. It's about proportional intensity and knowing that we can compete with any school on any given Saturday, though we couldn't do it every week. We know we may never get a shot at winning the natty in D1 (we've done it at D2 a few times before moving up), or at least while in a non-P5 conference. But ULL acts like they're entitled to it, or have already won a national championship or something.

ULL thinks of themselves as accomplished royalty. Tech thinks of themselves as scrappy, talented, and as good as anyone else on any given occasion. The delusions are not quite the same.

This is partly guesswork because I know of ULL only tangentially. I don't care enough about them to even pay attention to them. Tech is pretty much indifferent to everyone except LSU to that extent and ULM because of the I-20 rivalry. Otherwise, we just do us.
