re: A note about treatment by Texas fans

For the record, this was the first away game I’ve ever been to where where not ONE SINGLE opposing fan said anything overly “negative” or “derogatory” to me and my group of LSU buddies. and I’ve been to many many LSU away games so I’ve definitely seen some shitty opposing fans over the years. We got to Austin Wednesday night, went out to dinner and out pretty much every night so were constantly surrounded by Texas fans a lot, tailgated all day Saturday in the middle of tons of Texas fans by LBJ library, sat in the endzone in the middle of all Texas fans, and never received anything but nice welcoming Texas fans and the occasional “fun-natured” ribbing. And LOTS of well-wishes and “we’re rooting for y’all the rest of the way” after the game. And oh by the way many many allies on The Texas side in our disdain for Alabama.

I know some are not happy about the visitor ticket allotment, LSU band location, and locker room A/C etc, but I just want to at least point out my personal Texas experience above.

I plan on reciprocating that next season. My group will absolutely be welcoming Texas fans to Baton Rouge and LSU in 2020. We’re absolutely gonna kick their arse on the field (hopefully) and I’ll absolutely be “Tigerbaitin” them endlessly and turning the A/C to 80 in good fun and giving plenty of horns down signs, but We will do our part in showcasing to Texas fans the best LSU has to offer in terms of tailgating, Gameday experience, and a courteous welcoming host.

Proud of our Tigers, what a damn game for us to all be proud of, absolutely one of the better road trips I’ve been on. Life is good in Tiger nation this week.

Despite what you may think or have heard based on our experiences with Texas A&M and their fans, Texas fans have no ill-will towards LSU at all ... quite the opposite actually.

Geaux Tigers!!

I agree 100% texas fans were very nice and never said anything bad but that doesn't excuse putting the band in the nose bleeds and the AC incident and the players talking crap and wearing DBU shirts
