they were probably confused because you were scrutinizing them close enough to determine if they were giving you confused looks

I've lived in Baton Rouge for five years and don't know anyone who hates New Orleans. Granted, we'll frick with you about calling inspection stickers break tags, but it's all in good fun.

THIS BR LOVES NOLA!!

Wouldn't want to live there but love to go spend weekends there. It's like an Adult Disneyland.
All the good food, entertainment and partying 24/7/365. I feel lucky to be living close enough to conveniently visit and go home.

for the most part. Went to albertsons last week before the game wearing my brees jersey, got tons of confused looks from people in cars driving by and then in the store. 1 cashier had a saints jersey on, no one else even had a shirt saints shirt or hat on. This week I go in the same store before the game, there must've been 20 or 25 Saints jersey's and 20 or 30 more either a shirt or hat. I'm from here and love the Saints, and knew that the Saints didn't have that great of a following, but I didn't think it was that bad.


When I was in NOLA last Saturday, almost everybody had Saints gear on. Went to Rouses at about 9:30 that night, waiting at a traffic light, dude next to me is 50ish and wearing his SAINTS JERSEY!

I worked at a golf course in baton rouge and had a shift on Sunday afternoon. We would get very busy even when the saints were on. People would show up at during the game with saints jerseys on and then go play a round of golf. At the turn, they would come into the pro shop and ask who was winning. That never made any sense to me. if you're a fan, why aren't you watching. Btw, this was during the saints run in 06.

There's a ton of Saints fans in Baton Rouge. It's only about an hour from New Orleans plus a ton of Katrina evacuees live there.

Same thing can be said of people in NO when LSU won the national championship in the dome. Tons of bandwagoners from new orleans were there rooting on the tigers.

Just because you do not wear memorabilia does not make you less of a fan or a fan at all for that matter.

Why wouldn't they? Everyone was just supporting the state.

I wonder if it is because the Saints are New Orleans local football.

The same can be said about New Orleans with LSU.
