Anyone ever get snubbed on a "Geaux Tigers"?

I've seen a trend the last few years when I say to someone, in passing, "Geaux Tigers."
They could be wearing a shirt or a hat and I'll just say to them casually and they'll either just say "yea" nonchalantly or kind of look astonished I would say that to them.
My fiance just laughs every time it happens and says the situation was awkward. I think it's more bandwagon fans because I don't have that problem in, or around, Baton Rouge (I live in Houston, btw).

Why would you say this in the BR area? I'll do it on vacation because it is a good way to meet people.
Around town just seems kind of silly.

Wear your "honey badger smokes what he wants" shirt too. That will get their attention.

Unless I'm at an LSU function, I tend to ignore the geaux tiger people.

I don't say it around BR unless it's game day; should have made the distinction.

I wouldn't say it in Louisiana, but here in Atlanta it is cool.
I've had people pull up beside me and roll down the window and say Geaux Tigers and I do the same.

I've gotten the awkward smile several times. I think alot of folks don't know what it means.

Was working our exhibit booth at a Symposium at the N.O. Hilton yesterday and Wednesday and LSU Petroleum Engineering alss had a booth.
I walked up and gave a hearty 'Geaux Tigers' and they all responded in kind instantaneously.
Of course they were all students or recent alumni.

I'm in Atlanta, and I get snubbed sometimes. I don't quite understand why - I'm not loud or obnoxious.
Was in San Francisco a couple months ago and got snubbed. When someone gives me a "Geaux Tigers", I give it right back to them. I agree with another comment - I think the snubbers are just bandwagon fans.

Good first post!
I'd stick a chopstick in my ear if I was married to a Bama fan though.

Said geaux tigers at a giants mlb game to a middle aged man. Scared the shite out of him and he dropped his nachos.

I only do it when I'm outside Louisiana, but I don't think I've been snubbed before.
When someone says anything to me randomly while I'm walking around it catches me off guard, so I might not respond appropriately right away. I figure that's what is happening here.
