You guys down talk Southern every chance you can.
Who does? There's a show on the radio called Jaguar Journal and in 2003 you guys won the black college football championship and was celebrated with LSU at the victory parade in Baton Rouge.

I remember the 2003 parade. Everything was fine. I'm talking about now. A few of the LSU fans call us a 2nd rate university. I know it is not all LSU fans and bad apples are everywhere but the ignorant ones spoil it for the bad ones.

I'm sure the states largest university would call Southern second tier along with UNO, SLU, ULL, ULM, McNeese and Nicholls.

Most of those people wont amount to anything. I completely understand why one would be annoyed but just blow it off.

lol Well I know that but I don't get how the folks who never went to LSU are quick to talk about another institution. I know some cool LSU fans but most of them are horrible and they have no reason to be like that.

I don't know about Louisiana, but we in Central Florida are inundated with Snowbirds who are Ohio State fans. There's a smattering of Alabama bandwagon fans here (perhaps some drunks in Orlando are really saying "Toll Ride" as they go through the booths listening to the games). Many, many fans are those who didn't even attend or have close relatives at the schools for whom they cheer, yet they think they own real estate in the stadii in which their teams play. I am an LSU fan by birth and relationship, but never attended, so perhaps I could be considered a bandwagon fan--but my Dad lived in a dorm room in Tiger Stadium when he was a student (in the 1940s). I attended the University of Alabama (out of convenience), lived in Alabama for decades, but will seldom cheer for Bama (unless they are playing Notre Dame, Oregon, USCw, or The Aether). Anyway, my heart is still a little low at the great expectations for LSU being somewhat smashed, but i have seen the Tigers rise from the ashes and reign again. We will oversome this, but it's gonna take some work.

Also annoying are those from Alabama who want to claim Bama and the Saints (since 09). No.
It's truly amazing how much more Saints gear I see now, even on the Northshore. Before 2009, sure, I'd see flags and license plates and jerseys. But's it's grown over 20x. Pretty convenient for bandwagoners to support a local team.

Yeah the same thing with Cowboys and Steelers fans. You see them everywhere in America.
