However, if LSU football played a tournament every four years with 31 other teams to be champions of the world when LSU fans have been waiting four years for that tournament it might be pretty close.


This. + a World Cup is an entire nation worth of fans. It'd be a more fair question to ask LSU fans vs a more well known club team.

LINK Just club teams are completely nuts! To attend a soccer game in another country is just a whole other experience.

How is throwing confetti everywhere a whole other experience? Their organized cheers are nothing college teams dont do with fight songs, especially with a "Rammer Jammer" type cheer 'Bama does.

The entrance and exit to the game with the fans going nuts, confetti is nothing, it's the fireworks and flares going off in the stands, signs around the entire stadium, flags so big being dropped that would go from the upper deck to the field, fans working together in an organized fashion to bash the other team. The cheers after every down are great, I enjoy doing them, but unless you go to a soccer game and see the mass histeria, you will be missing out on one of the best sporting experiences in your life, and I don't mean your daughter's soccer game.

That just seems like an unpleasant experience, trashing your own field and having a hard time seeing a damn thing due to all the flares and the smoke.

Exactly what the "Rammer Jammer" is. Not to mention Wisconsins "frick You, Eat shite" chant. Though I think thats 1 side of the student section responding to the other and back and forth, etc. etc.

Nah. I don't think Rammer Jammer is a cheer that is bashing the other team. We're just patting ourselves on the back for having had yet another win.

Tens of thousands of 'Bammers chanting "we just beat the hell out of you" is a decent bash.

Patting ourselves on the back. We're pretty good at that.

Just saying, unless you've experienced it, you have no idea. I'm just as big of college football fan as anyone. I think the college tailgating experience is great, but does it compare to 40,000 RVs at Nascar events? No. Having 100,000 people in a football stadium just isn't the peak of sporting experiences in the world. Sure the cheers, the environment give me chills and college football is what basically gets me from september to january. Club soccer in a country where the sport is king is pretty much the best sporting experience you will ever have, but at LSU is close at number 3! Toughest venues in the world!

Posting a link to that site on certain boards on this forum will get many to call for your bannage.

So you admit you know the answer, but still made the post, which is basically admitting to trolling.

Nice.

Hey look at me! I'm a bandwagon USC fan too stupid and poor to have gone to USC much less any college in Louisiana and I have a chance to get LSU fans pissed at me and get negative attention!

Of course World Cup fans are more passionate, but they're more passionate than any college football fanbase. Why single out LSU? And without doubt, LSU's fanbase--and most of the other fanbases in the SEC--are more passionate than Southern Cal's fanbase.
