re: Can someone explain to me why so many LSU fans hate the Saints

Here is why I, as an LSU fan, don’t have an ounce of care in my body for the Saints and why many others probably don’t as well:

If you grew up in the Baton Rouge area prior to the Saints super bowl in 2009, you were in the minority if you considered yourself a hardcore Saints follower. Passion for the Saints in BR was nowhere near the level it is today, and non-existent in my family where every person for 3 generations has attended LSU and no-one was from the New Orleans area. No Saints influence in my early life.

LSU was it, and remains it for many. Never went to a Saints game growing up, always went to LSU. All my friends and family were the same, just the way is was.

And as said earlier, LSU will always be here. The Saints could up and leave. Just like Benson threatened after Katrina.

I never hated the Saints, but with everything going on in the NFL as of late I can say I strongly dislike the NFL and in turn, the Saints as well.
