I was working in Valencia VZ and had been hearing nothing but Spanish for a week and then out of nowhere in the hotel lobby I recieved a "Geaux Tigers". Great feeling.

Althought not unexpected was in Orlando, a few weeks ago and saw people with LSU garb on everywhere. I finally decided to just count people with SEC College gear on in Hollywood theme park fka MGM the last day. Totals LSU 14, florida 3, bama 2, Ole Miss 1, UGA 1. You see may more LSU garb in Destin that any other school by far, but Orlando is way more UF turf.

I went to Nisqually, Washington two summers ago. Checked into my hotel went up to my room and a guy comes out of a room right next to mine wearing an LSU shirt. He was from Baton Rouge up on Business in the Seattle area.

On June 22nd, my wife and I were in Miami Fl. We decided to see South Beach (for the 1st time)that morning and to our surprise ran into 5 different LSU couples also there on vacation. I expected to see many things that day but a majority of LSU fans was not one of them. Geaux tigers

Right as the super regionals were starting, I was at Orange Beach for a wedding. We went to that junkyard bar they Floribama. I swear every ten minutes tons of people were chanting 'Geaux Tigers!'. It was weird.

Taupo, New Zealand, Monday of the CWS championship. I was in a fly fishing shop and was talking to this older lady that works there and she asked where I was from. I told her Louisiana, USA and she said her daughter, Tina Howard, attended LSU on a golf scholarship back in the 90's and they are all big tiger fans. She even recorded a video for my kids to tell them that we had found LSU fans on the other side of the world. She gave them a loud, "Geaux Tigers!" for the video.

I have to laugh at other fans that say LSU fans are poor backwood coonasses. They seem to find the money to travel to a lot of far a way places. I've seen them all over the world.

We moved to Colorado last September. It is amazing how many Tiger alum and Fans are way up here. In fact, last week we boarded our dogs in Colorado Springs while we were doing some vacationing in the area and the owner comes out and he is wearing an LSU cap. He and his wife have been living in CO Springs for the last 5 or so years and are from Laf. There always seems to be an LSU connection if you look hard enough, no matter where you are.



yep, same thing here. I went to colorado springs last summer for a job on fort carson and saw a couple guys with LSU hats in the airport(which was, to my surprise, pretty vacant) it was nice actually..

there are Tigah fans everywhere!! even here in hawaii(lanikai beach)

In 1993 outside the Amsterdam train station. He was a recent LSU grad bumming around Europe and playing guitar. I dropped a 5 in his case.

Last year in Sydney, Australia my wife and I went to breakfast at our hotel and there was another couple both wearing LSU National Championship T-shirts.

On a cruise ship that left out of New york, New York, as we were passing the statue of liberty some guy walked up to the rail and stood right beside me. He was wearing a full LSU wind suit, lol. It looked weird but it was pretty interesting. I gave him a geaux tigers and everytime i saw him after that it was like we had known each other for our whole lives.

Was in Paul's Cafe in downtown Ponchatoula and saw a guy with an LSU visor on.

That place must be at least 40 miles from BR.

At my Troy University graduation ceremony in June in Ft. Walton Beach. I was sitting next to another fellow AF Master Sergeant who was from Baton Rouge. We talked football as we waited to enter the hall and gave each other a "Geaux Tigers" before we departed.
