re: It's Offseason: Describe your level of LSU Fandom

I live very far away, in a part of the country where college football is very low on the sports totem pole. So I close ranks. Excluding my brother, I don't want anyone at my house, and I don't want to be at a bar. Total concentration is on the game. Most weeks, I watch at least one replay. I have been to at least one LSU game a year since '06 and am going to three this year. I'm a gone Tiger fan. My wife and daughter are forgiving, as otherwise I am a normal human being.
I am not an alum, nor have I ever lived in LA. I try to respect these facts on this board.
I have plenty of LSU gear, my favorite being two Nike pullovers. I ask my wife and daughter to wear LSU shirts on game day because you never know what seemingly random acts will mean the difference between winning and losing. My brother has three stickers on his car.
Other: I don't shut it down after football. I watch a fair amount of hoops and as many baseball games as possible. I think one year soon we are going to swap a football road game for a baseball series at the Box.

Yeah I know what you mean, it gets very exciting to watch but also very frustrating and you find yourself blowing up when we can't defend a 4th down against bama in the final drive and you try to explain to people and they never understand why you care so much. I am gonna try make it over once a year or at least once every 2 years and try mix up the games I attend. This year is the gators, hopefully next year will be bama. Yes I enjoyed both basketball and baseball also, this year it's my first year following the baseball team. 3rd with basketball, I believe we could be a sweet 16 team this year. Maybe even a final four if Martin and mickey stuck around one more season. I even love following the recruiting in the off season.

LSU is my favorite college sports team but I am more of a pro sports fan.
I hate to see LSU lose anything, tho.

Game day: Arrive in Touchdown Village 1 at 5:00 on Friday and I'm among the last to leave on Sunday. Season ticket holder.
Alum: yes
Closet: maybe a dozen polos, maybe 18 t shirts, a dozen pullovers, a half dozen jackets, a dozen caps, customized Nike LSU shoes, half dozen LSU ankle socks.half dozen shorts and two warm ups. Virtually everything is Nike. I wouldn't wear anything with Toonces on it.
House: numerous LSU items on display
Vehicle: three stickers and a plate
Other: always fly my twin LSU flags when I go camping or at my house for an away game I'm not attending.
Fan rating: 9 for football. My mood is affected by the outcome of games. My pet peeve is ignorant, know-it-all, complaining so-called fans. I swear I still get the same feeling walking in to Tiger Stadium as I did when I was a kid. I am in awe of that place. 5 for baseball. My mood is affected for an hour after each game, win or lose. 3 for basketball. Seldom watch.

Is miles still the hc? Since I know the answer to my own question, I will simply say, 0, nada, zilch, until he is gone

Gameday – What’s your Gameday routine?
football i make sure i watch the big games. i mean LSU is the team i root for more than Tulane or anyone else in college, but the Saints, Pelicans, VooDoo, and Chalmette High have bigger places in my heart. i've went to one game in Tiger Stadium, the Alabama game in 2000. i want to go back but i just haven't made it. basketball i don't give that many fricks about it, but i watched the 2006 tourney run and that 3 pointer buzzer beater when we beat Ark. I'm sure i'll watch more if LSU is ranked next season. baseball i watch the most. most weekend games on justintv or now SECN+. I've been to the Box in 2012 (Stony Brook), 2013 (Maryland, Ole Miss), and 2014 (Yale). I've seen LSU play at Zephyr Field twice, once in the late 90s against the Zephyrs and once in 2014 against UNO. I also went to a 90s Winn Dixie Showdown in the Dome
quote:going to UNO which used to be part of the LSU system if that counts?
Alum: Y/N
. have a few family members and friends that went there. saw the inside of a classroom when i went to state literary rally in high school. sister and husband went to ULL quote:one nice purple polo and some t shirts, one for the last football NC, and one with the CWS championships on it

other: sometimes for a big game i'll go out and watch it, like at Stepbrother's when I lived in Metairie, or Juan's or WoW Wingery in Chalmette

I mentioned this in your intro thread, but I'm just going to remind you:
Don't forget the Tim Tams. I'm on my last box, and they are now over a year old.
A carton of Little Creatures Pale Ale would be nice too...
