Gameday – Had season tix for 20 something years. Since I lost my son (who was an LSU alum and fanatic) have not returned to a single event. Can't go back to the campus. Watch games on television.

Alum - Y

Your Closet – A couple of nice shirts.

Your House – A couple of signed helmets my son gave me.

Your Vehicle – Nothing.

Other: Nothing.

Life has changed me, and I do not get excited about games being played by young men. Last game my son and I attended was Nat'l Championship game vs Ohio State.

Man, I really hate anytime I hear these stories. I feel for you, but know that I can't really imagine the loss that you feel.

Hopefully, some day, you can return in his honor and rediscover the joys that you experienced together. I'm sure he would want that for you.

Born and raised in New Orleans as an LSU fan. Attended law school at LSU. I try to attend one football game every year. Numerous LSU polos, t-shirts, jackets, caps, etc. LSU emblem on car. On game day I go about my normal routine until game time. Then I'm glued to the television. I sometimes yell at the TV. I've gotten better about that in recent years. Lots of that due to 1/9/12 as it was such an emotional letdown. I try not to get so invested anymore.

OK I'll answer. I rate myself as a 9 1/2 when it comes to being an LSU fan. 2016 will mark my 50th anniversary as an LSU season ticket holder. I was 8 years old. When I walk into my closet I see purple and gold. I have an LSU plate with a number in the 2400's. I live and die with the team.

No, I understand what he's saying. I've still kept up the streak and my love for the University hasn't changed...my perspective on the outcome is the only thing that has been altered.

Gameday: Show up early and get drunk 'til the game starts.
Alum: Y
Your Closet – Tons of LSU shirts & Jerseys but I don't wear them that often outside of LSU game days/ working out. I used to be that obnoxious fan who wore LSU everywhere I went and realized that was pretty lame.
Have a vintage purple LSU sports coat from when my grandfather went to LSU.
Your House – Win Bar Framed Newspapers/Championship tickets
Your Vehicle – Used to have the Helmet logo license which is now on my tricycle. Just have the license plate frame on my truck now.
Other: Went to all three recent NC appearances. Have seen LSU play in every SEC away stadium except Missouri.

Both parents are alums. Grandfather was an Alum too.

I'd rate myself a 7.
