re: CFB’s Top 10 Most Unruly Fanbases

2. LSU
There isn’t much debate as to who are the rudest fans in the SEC – 32.2% of those from a Sports Illustrated fan survey in 2009 said that LSU’s supporters are the rudest. But SEC fans must like to be put down because 24.8% of fans said that Tiger Stadium is their favorite place to visit. Well, there’s no denying that Baton Rouge has an unbelievable atmosphere, even if it is a bit rowdy and profane. It all starts when opposing teams first enter the stadium and fans chant “Tiger bait!” at them – and they mean that literally.By the time the game starts, many of the fans don’t know what they’re saying or where they are. LSU home games are usually played at night, allowing their already-juiced-up fans to, um, lather themselves up a bit more with all-day drinking. Tailgating in Baton Rouge is like a scene out of “The Waterboy” on acid, which is to say wilder than your wildest dreams.

Well, we guess debauchery is to be expected when super fans for the school dress up as pimps.
But beyond the weekly Mardi Gras atmosphere, LSU fans have a mean side. It got to the point that university administration had to apologize for a 2005 incident in which fans cracked the windows of Tennessee’s team bus with beer bottles. When females working for the student newspaper disguised themselves once as Alabama fans for a story, they were reportedly groped and called names not fit for print. Stunts like that landed LSU football fans at #10 on GQ’s list of the worst sports fans in America, where they were described as “Deep-Fried Lunatics.”

But most anger is directed at Nick Saban, the coach who won a national title at LSU before he bolted for the NFL and, eventually, (gasp!) Alabama.

Tigers fans are represented by fierce loyalists like The Big Ragoo, branded as the greatest LSU fan alive who ESPN the Magazine described as “half eloquent statesman, half wild man.” He hates Saban for comments the coach made about those in the Bayou that may have been misconstrued but hit a nerve nonetheless.

“If I were him I’d be very discreet,” Ragoo told the magazine, predicting what would happen if Saban ran into others in the Bayou who take their allegiance even more seriously than him.

“He might not make it back.”

Stay classy, Baton Rouge
