From what I have seen, LSU fans are the most fantical college baseball fans in the country. My experience at the CWS is that LSU (by far) has the most fans from outside the state of Nebraske at the tournament. I also was at Phoenix for spring training in 2001 and I went to an ASU-LSU game in Tempe. There were more than 6,000 fans at the game and it seemed like at least a 1,000 were from LSU. Don’t be surprised if there are a large contingent in Westwood on Friday. They are easy to spot with the purple and gold beads. (The LSU fans that I sat with at the 2000 CWS were sufficiently obnoxious that LSU is one of the few college baseball teams besides usc that I actively root against.)
If UCLA plays LSU and you don’t have a reserved seat, I would get there early. We don’t want to have the Bruin fans outnumbered by a a school that is two time zones away.

LSU fans laughing about JRS
They’re careful to distinguish between the Bruin team, which they respect, and its stadium, which they think is laughable as a regional host site. The Tigers play in Box stadium, which seats around 10,000 and has the look of a scaled-down major league ballpark, complete with luxury suites, an elaborate club lounge, multiple concession stands, etc. All that is irrelevant to what’s happening on the field, of course, which in this case will be Bruins throwing strikes and pounding out hits . . . but still. They do have a helluva stadium.

Alex Box Stadium
Cost 37.8 million dollars. That is warranted if you can draw 10,000 a game. In Los Angeles there are simply too many other competing activities to build a college stadium of that magnitude. LSU is the only game in town, Their baseball team does not have to compete with the Dodgers or Angels for fans.
Moreover if you open a newspaper in Baton Rouge I am willing to bet you can read about LSU baseball. In the LA Times you are lucky if you get a line score for the Bruins games. (This is why myself and other Bruin fans are so thankful for your efforts in publicizing Bruin games).
In February when the Bruins played the trojans at Dodger Stadium and the game was publicized the Bruins drew 14,588 fans which was about double what the Dodgers expected. That showed its theoretically possible for the Bruins to draw 10,000 for a baseball game, but it’s not going to happen on a regular basis under current conditions.
UCLA simply does not have the land , funds or fan base to allow them to build a stadium like Alex Box. So let the LSU gans laugh. All I care is who laughs last after the regional…

Didn't say they were trash talkin, just what they were saying. The "kick some arse Tiger fans" was meant for the SoCal Tiger fans to represent well.

I don't doubt it. You are on a f'ing roll! You have indeed rounded into post season form--each post better than the last.

what they fail to mention is that Los Angeles has a bigger population than all of Louisiana. so they should still have plenty of fans to go around.

you are correct. 13 million in the metro area is more than the combination of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.

You would think both fan bases could unite in their hatred for USC.
They're probably the only school that hates them more than we do!
Seriously, they came to the old box for a Regional (as the #1 seed, I think) a while back, so it's only fair to return the favor. And, despite their low attendance, they have a solid program. If we don't win the Regional, I would much rather they make it to Omaha than Irvine, Fullerton or Stanford.

I agree. I don't understand why their athletic department hasn't done more for the baseball facilities. They don't have an on-campus football stadium to maintain like we do and they seem to give the least bit of money possible to their baseball program that is doing well now.
I like UCLA and hope that this season will help them get more for their baseball program.
