Currently in skagway Alaska just had a group of 3 ole miss fans walk up to me and my son ( i had lsu backpack )and say we are gonna beat your a$$ come September and start chanting hotty toddy.

I live among the enemy and have gotten a few versions of this lately. (Admittedly less trashy as I'm an old, sketchy looking dude instead of a small child, but same vibe.)

But the biggest tell to me is that OM fans are so focused on that date. I want to beat them, but like most LSU fans, I see it as just another game we need to win to make the playoff. The bear/shark/rebs seem to have their entire identity wrapped up in the outcome of that game.

The biggest difference between the two programs/fan bases to me is that LSU embraces our irreverant, trashy, black sheep status at scale...but in general, at the individual level, I keep hearing from others that LSU fans are always great to interact with.

The shark/bear/rebs, on the other hand, pretend to be all hoity-toity, fancy, classy, upper crust or whatever, and over the course of my life, almost without exception, are a bunch of douchy a-holes as individuals.

Oh yeah, and I guess the other difference is all the hardware in our football ops building -- natties, SEC championships, etc -- and the reb/bear/sharks ain't got squat.
