Nice article in the Omaha World Herald regarding the LSU-Omaha relationship.
Enjoy.

Until you have been up there, you can't appreciate how neat it is to be a LSU fan in that city. They do love us.

Generally it is your "good" LSU fan who is going to spend the money and make the trip so they are representing LSU well.

You gotta love this line.

LSU is in the driver's seat for another long ride. They don't play again until Friday. By then, Omaha will feel like the location for the movie “The Hangover 2.''

The Tigers gave Van Horn a headache. It was interesting watching Van Horn get interviewed on ESPN right after he passionately argued a call at first base. The timing could have been better. He was the only guy in the stadium who wasn't happy to see Erin Andrews.

We've had some fun stories around here in recent years. But Oregon State and Fresno State don't capture the imagination like the Bayou Bombers. We'll take a party over parity every time.

And that's really why the Tigers resonate with Omaha. Oh sure, LSU was here so often they could have voted. And everyone would have voted Skip Bertman for mayor. There was Gorilla Ball. Omaha loves a good fireworks show.


Show any other team this article and they may start to understand that Omaha really loves LSU. It is without a doubt a home field advantage for the Tigers in Omaha.

Wait a minute:

Why is he not writing about all of the piss bags that LSU fans are throwing on people and the fights that we are all starting everywhere?

Sloppy journalism. How could he be so blind?

Great story and all absolutely true. We went in 97 and 98 and the place is definitely infatuated with all things LSU.

Barret's is a cool little bar with sand volleyball out back. Most all of the team was there after the 97 win and, wow, that was one helluva after-party.

As an LSU fan you owe it to yourself to make the trip to Omaha. Long arse drive but what a trip.

Love this article! Makes me happy to hear nice things about LSU fans and wish I was in Omaha even more! I will be holding it down at a Sports Bar in Xalapa, MX on Friday instead.
