Guess you haven't noticed all the folks from all over Louisiana that are bandwagon LSU fans. Hell, most can't even SPELL LSU A&M. Everyone loves a winner, it just so happens they picked a team LSU can't beat on a regular basis. Then to make matter worse, LSU fires the only coach who did beat ALA once in awhile.


LOL

As a grad of both UL and LSU, I can honestly say that this isn't the case. Most UL students are LSU fans first, then UL when they are feeling patriotic.

As for Baton Rouge, most of the Bama fans I know are Southern grads.

It's not UL it's ULL!

Unless you went to Louisville!

Now we're bitching about Bama fans. I guess when you lose 29-0 as our 8th in a row, that's all that's left, after the long litany of excuses.

This board really is pathetic.

Now you have hit on something there. I personally know a lot of Southern fans that root for Alabama against LSU. A whole of of them.

These people really bother y’all more than they should. You should just laugh at them because you automatically know the type of person they are by being an Alabama “fan” in La. it’s no different than Yankees Red Sox Pats Steelers Packers Lakers Heat etc fans.

The type of person I’m referring to is a person who went to tech school, works construction, blue collar worker, went to a smaller La college like La Tech or ULL, and they root for Alabama because they are a dynasty and they beat the team that all of their family and friends root for in their home state. They just want to be defiant. It’s really not too much to get mad about. They are just LSU haters more than actual bama lovers

We have the same type fans in Mississippi pulling for LSU.. especially around the river towns. Vicksburg and Natchez. I’m pretty much on the stance if you didn’t attend one college class there your pretty much a bandwagon fan too. But that would make a lot of fans bandwagon


I can see Tiger Stadium from my house. I love football. I buy season tickets. I buy apparel. My taxes goes to the academic side. I am a TAF member. But, since I didn’t do one semester there, I am a bandwagon fan. Never mind that I’ve gone to every game since I was four years old. I am a bandwagon fan. Kiss my arse if you please, bitch!

Why does it matter? Y’all dont cheer for nobody other than LSU but expect EVERYBODY to cheer for y’all.

Isn't that the same 3rd string in the 4th quarter that LaSue could not score on? Alabama's 3rd string is LaSue's first string I guess.

I think one thing I'm most thankful for is that I can honestly say I don't know of one single person like this. I am not saying they aren't here because I've seen way too much Bama shite on people who I know didn't go to college to think they all moved here. I'm just thankful to know my "social scene" is somewhat above them. I also don't know anyone who had a finger in their booty saturday, without begging for it first...

Here's good example. I have an ex-brother in law who probably couldn't find Tuscaloosa on a map but he wears an Alabama class ring. Dude went in the Army right out of high school and has never attended one college class, but he wears a class ring with a red A on the stone. It's not even funny.

Why does this bother you? My son-in-law is a Liverpool fan, and he's only been there once. So what?

I move that we forever FORBID fanatical fandom to any person who cannot prove that he, she or zee, attended no less than ONE FULL semester at said school before such person is permitted fanatical fandom of said school.

I FURTHER MOVE THAT we all take a step back and realize that we are indeed talking about: 1) amateur sports teams; 2) these teams represent SCHOOLS; 3) some of are taking this
WAY TOO seriously.

I'm sorry, Sir, but, I didn't make the rule . . . oh, wait, I DID make the rule.

You must complete at least one full semester in order to be permitted fanatical fandom to cheer for this school's football team.

I was making small talk with a clerk the yesterday while checking out. He was talking about what to do when he gets off in a few minutes. I suggest diving into some college basketball since they had so many great games on. Listed, Kentucky, NC, Kansas, Mich St., LSU, etc.

He leaned forward and said, "yeah, but i'm a bama fan." I just laughed and told him i'm sure he is a life long fan. Then I asked him if he only watched Alabama basketball, and he just looked at me confused. Something tells me that guy couldn't name one player on the Alabama team.

I think for many people it is just the cool thing to do to try and be different. I just say keep them to task. So that when Alabama levels off or comes down they don't sneak off to the next hot team. Weird thing is I can't find anymore Florida or USC lifelong fans down here. They use to be everywhere...



Like this because totally remember th FL, USC, UM band wagoners.
