What type of fan are you?

Let’s break it down into categories:

Gameday – What’s your Gameday routine?
Alum: Y/N
Your Closet – How many LSU clothing Items do you own and how often do you wear them?
Your House – Any LSU rooms or memorabilia
Your Vehicle – Stickers? Vanity Plate?
Other: Anything Goes

I’ll Start:

Gameday: Season Tix for ~20 years, section 414, try to make it to at least 5 games a year, work travel prevents more. We have a decent sized tailgate crew on Nicholson for years, old front 9 now. We have a Purple/Gold trailer, satellite, DJ System, and have 2-3 big blowouts/year. I try to grab stadium club tix once a year for a non-conference game. Since we fire up the grill for burgers after the game, I stay until the end of all games.

Alum: Did post grad work at LSU, but graduated elsewhere.

Closet – I have 2-3 t-shirts, 3 polos and a fishing shirt, ~6 golf hats, one fishing hat, and one totally badass purple cowboy hat from the 60’s that I picked up at an estate sale. I wear the hats often, but I only wear the shirts on gameday or around the house.

House – One gigantic framed print and tiger eye painted on driftwood in my office that were gifts. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have anything. My boys have a few posters in their bedroom.

Vehicle: No LSU items

Other: coozies, cups, bottle openers in heavy rotation, no major additions

My fan rating: Solid 6, better than some, but definitely not elite.

A lot more toned down after 1/9/12 and a lot of the choking that has taken place in many games through multiple sports the last few years. I've really had to take a good hard look I the mirror and realize it's just a game. Doesn't affect who I am as a person

I mean I still get really excited on game day and love seeing old friends at tailgates, but it's not life or death like it used to be with me. I'm sure this wasn't the answer you were looking for but its true for me

* LSU Alum.

* Played a "minor" sport at LSU.

* LSU Alumni sticker on rear window of car.

* Several LSU shirts and clothing items.

* Go to most of the games in Tiger Stadium. No day games, except late November, when it's dark by third quarter. Former football season ticket holder. Gave them up. Not needed. Buy tickets outside stadium for way under Face. (Even the big SEC games) Park for free behind Law School or University High. Don't Tailgate. Just interested in the game, not the party before or after.

* Attend some LSU basketball, baseball, softball and gymnastic events as well, but am definitely NOT a "Lump." (LSU Gump) My life does not revolve around LSU Sports. I have many interests outside of supporting LSU athletic teams. (Which doesn't seem to be the case for many "Wretched Excess Over the Top" LSU fans) Hey, get a life and leave the state borders of Louisiana. There's a lot to see out there........

Live in Houston. Travel to BR for all SEC games and at least one road game a year. Haven't stayed for a full football game in 6 seasons. So I would consider myself above average.

Gameday – Set up our tailgate on Nicholson with my dad and brother at 7am. Booze/food all day. Go to the game with them.

Alum- Yes

Your Closet – 5 Nike polos, too many t-shirts/sweatshirts to count and a pair of long gold dress pants for cold games.

Your House – No room but random memorabilia throughout the house (signed mini helmet, framed pictures, paintings, etc).

Your Vehicle – Company car, so no vanity plate unfortunately. I do have the alumni license plate frame though.

Other: coozies, cups, etc

No gameday routine, no clothes, rooms or anything. I like watching them play football when I can. Don't care much for baseball and basketball. Went to LSU for 2 years but graduated elsewhere. My 3-yo has a jersey. I live out of state and only made the bowl game last Jan because it was near me and the kids really wanted to see a game live.

I'm a solid 3

Your Vehicle – Nah

Other: LSU background on my phone and laptop.

I've watched one game under Miles on TV. And I actually watched it in Tiger Stadium.

Nothing beats TS but I love walking out of a road game with a W.

Your House – No
Your Vehicle – None
Other: Tiger rating

Fan rating- 8 My knowledge of the football/basketball teams is very good and I live and die by their results. That said, I actually spend very little money on LSU athletics and don't even like going to games live.
