Geaux Tigers from a Miami fan

I’ll preface my post quickly by saying I never could have envisioned myself rooting for your team in a national championship game against an ACC foe; and yet, here I am.

LSU demolished my beloved Canes in the 2005 Peach Bowl, sending my program into a downward spiral that we’ve never recovered from. And sadly for me, I don’t think we ever will. Oh, and who could forget our embarrassing loss to y’all in the 2018 opener? So, you might ask yourself why I’m rooting so hard for your team and why I wish you nothing but success going forward. Well, here’s a few reasons off the top of my head:

I’ve watched the majority of LSU’s games this year and have found myself enjoying your success. Joe Burrow is one of the best college quarterbacks I’ve ever seen, and he’s a stand-up guy with outstanding character. Coach O is impossible to hate. The guy loves your university, and his passion for the game is not rivaled by many. I can tell he loves his team, that the players would run through a brick wall for him, and that much of LSU’s success this year can be attributed to the culture he has built. Lastly, Joe Brady has made your offense enrapturing to watch. I live vicariously though your fan base because my Canes have had some of the worst offenses imaginable the last 2 years. For example, when it comes to 3rd down %, we literally finished dead last in the FBS last year.

Without rambling any longer, I sincerely want to wish y’all luck tomorrow. I’ll always remain a Cane at heart, but LSU has become my favorite team to watch outside of UM.

Geaux Tigers! Beat Clemson!
