re: So I wear my LSU jacket to Wal-Mart yesterday

"I can't believe you're wearing that after this year."

I get that sometimes also. I think, in a lot of cases, it's just said as a joke. But for the one's that are serious, I feel bad for their kids. Are they going to quit supporting them if the team drops a few games. If the kid screws up, will they lambast him/her and quit going to the games. I hope not.
Let's think about the good that can come out of a mediocre season. An abundance of LSU mechandise at reduced prices and better seats available for the true Tiger fans. (just kidding).
At least the majority of the people on THIS board are true fans.

Office Depot has a great LSU computer chair on sale. My children gave it to me Saturday, an early Christmas present. I was just as proud to sit in it Saturday after the loss as I would have been if we had won on Friday. You know why? It was purple and gold and had the LSU Tiger logo on the head rest. Did I take my LSU tiger license plates off my two cars, hell no. Go Tigers, but please get a new DC.

Like I said, I don't think I'm better than people or in the upper echelon of being an alum.

But, there is another reason other than sports some of us wear LSU clothing. I happen to be proud of my degree. I am working the best job I've ever had right now both position and money wise, and it has everything to do with the hard work I put in and the almost daily walk from everywhere between CEBA to Lockett hall to Allen Hall, to the Life Sciences Building, etc. with 2-3 stops in between. I can do that route in my sleep.

So when somebody asks me why I would be wearing an LSU shirt based on what the football team is doing, I tend to look down on that. There is a much bigger deal to a lot of us than the state of the football team in our passion and pride of LSU. But for those of you that didn't go, again, I don't look down on you. I'm glad you're here, we're all a big LSU family, alum or not.

I get that here in Houston--I just say "most have none, some have one but only one has two and that's LSU"--shuts them up immediately!

The woman that coaches my little girls basketball team said the same thing after practice on Sunday. She's a Tulane fan, so I said, "what as opposed to wearing your Tulane jacket"? "if you couldn't beat us this year you missed your chance."

Then she said something about having to wear the Tulane jacket.

Similar instance...I had my colors on yesterday at my twins skating birthday party. Had some dumb frick say the same thing. Told him I was cussing them on Friday but I still wear purple and gold proudly.

Living in Dallas gives one a first hand view of bandwagoners. There is no burnt orange to be seen, until the day after the texas-ou game, then what do you know?
I am an LSU alum and am still wearing my purple and gold every day, but can always feel free to leave my aints gear at home.

Your college team is like your wife, you'll always love it, even if it dissapoints.
Your NFL team is like a hooker, a fair exchange of money for a bit of pleasure.

Dallas is not a sports town.
Dallas does not support sports, only winning sports so they can be socially seen at all the right places.

My LSU flag is still flying.
Will come down after the last game.
