re: “You’re a fan but never went to school there”

I was born in BR but I’ve been in Georgia 30 years now. Never went to LSU but I’m a diehard LSU fan no matter what anyone says. It’s in my blood.

Never really cared. Just rep the school and the teams in a positive light and you’re just as much of a tiger.

Am I not worthy of being a fan?

Of course you’re worthy of being a fan. Not nearly all of the 105,000 folks in Tiger Stadium are graduates. LSU is the flagship university of Louisiana and most folks follow it for that very reason.

I never played for the New Orleans saints and I am a fan!

The majority of fans for big time schools did not go to school there.
It’s a stupid way to classify and put fans against each other. We’re all cheering for the same school, idc where you went to school or didn’t go- you can be a fan of whoever.
My opinion as an alumni

You should ask those losers if they’re Saints fans. If they say yes, ask them if they ever worked for the Saints or had any other tie to their organization.

Imagine the money LSU has received by people that never attended.

Got my undergrad in Texas, but always wanted to have a LSU degree and be in BR. My brother was able to get into LSU law school and invited me to come down to games. One game at Death Valley and I was hooked. I moved there after quitting my job in Texas and started doing consulting work in New Orleans. Went to one grad class at LSU. Ended up moving back to Texas for money reasons. I stayed glued to anything involving LSU. Fast forward 2020, COVID hit and I decided to finish my MBA at LSU. I am so proud of being a Tiger on paper, but my years of being a non-grad and “fan” were just as rewarding.

You are worthy my friend. I took some summer courses at LSU while in HS. I became a fan because of my older brother attending LSU visiting him hanging on campus. Some fans just like rooting for the home state.

I went to USL for 3 semesters play on the JV Baseball team or whatever Didier called us. But I wear LSU gear and went to 100’s of games, before I moved out of state. I watch every LSU game I can and go back home and catch game’s every couple of years

i didn’t grow up an lsu fan

my family had 0 affiliation with the school and we lived 1400 miles away from BR

i just remember catching their games on espn in the early 90s and being blown away

loved the colors and the stadium had an aura about it

first game i remember on tv was at auburn when the fire broke outside the stadium

i’ve been glued ever since
