I played at Tech 35 years ago and have rooted for LSU my whole life.

I understand this sentiment, and as someone who went to another in state school I never wore LSU gear on campus, but I went to my school for free where as LSU would have cost me and my parents money. Looking back I regret it, but there are many reasons not to go to LSU if it doesn’t make sense (money, family, whatever)

I went to UL when it was USL and wore LSU gear all the time LOL

Yeah I can see that. I'm in my 50's and the disdain that some of my Tech friends have for LSU is mind boggling.

Cheers to you my good buddy. I love Ruston. Cheered for Wayne Smith and Karl Malone back in the day. The Lady Techsters were freaking awesome and loved them.

Where do you live? What sports team gear do you rep?

It's interesting seeing these uplifting comments about Tech. I'm in the same boat. I hold no ill will against them, and I went to LSU. But their fans HATE LSU. I don't get it.
While I agree that there are some delusional Bulldawg fans who do not comprehend how much money it would take to be competitive on college football, most fans are neutral. I disagree with your post. I think you are comparing all their fans “hating” LSU as being die hard that have drank the red, white, and blue koolaid and are completely in denial and naive. Those are the exceptions to the rule.

love Tech going to the light blue jersey’s
Nothing beats our OG red helmet, white jersey, and blue pants. But we also air out baby blue we've picked up the last few years.

Honestly, it's the inverse of/reaction to how coonasses don't think anything north of I10 exists type elitism plus the classic "big school in state gets all the love, and we hate sidewalk fans."
Being a Tech and LSU person myself, I never had the hate LSU aspect. I can tell you it's simply a venomous pride in being one's own, that if you're a Dawg fan it's because you're a Dawg fan and/or went to school there and not because you're a bandwagon fan.
It makes sense honestly.

Some of the older fans fs and the folks who go there from Ar-Kansas
Never really saw that when I was there. Tons from Shreveport (Texas) obviously, so a lot of cowboys fans. Yuck.

Think they were in the sun belt together in the 90s up until 2001 when Tech left for the WAC (still never understood why they did that)
The football team was independent, then joined the big west conference in 93-95 timeframe, then independent again until joining the WAC in 2001.
In 2001, and subsequent years, the WAC was a good conference. There were some (figurative and one literal) brawls in Ruston. Jumped to conference USA when most of the better WAC left. Left CUSA as it’s a shitshow run of a conference. Judy rivals the SEC on incompetence. The Sun Belt is now a good home.

Maybe people who have favorite teams use different criteria when choosing which to attend - like academics? Affordability?
