re: LSU Fans are a sensitive

This would be like walking around ULL, asking people why they keep trying to call themselves UL when that is not their name, and then wondering why they are pissed off.

It's a valid point though. The school is ULL, and although I (and many others) often shorten it to UL, getting upset about someone pointing this out as incorrect is nothing but proof of extreme insecurity.

I hope you realize you are again making my point for me. You wouldn't expect someone to become angry and defensive if you corrected them for saying "UL" instead of "ULL", and yet you are becoming angry and defensive over a joke about LSU having bandwagon fans.

It is funny.

if someone lives in Louisiana they can't be an LSU fan or ULL fan unless they went to school there otherwise they are considered a shallow bandwagon fan.

ULL really doesn't have this issue

I will again point out that this comparison between NFL and NCAA is meaningless.
In Louisiana you have one choice for an in state pro football team, or you can throw a dart at the map of the US and pick a team like that.

There are several schools who play division 1 football in LA, but I would say it is fair to state that LSU has the most fans with no ties to the university. The reason is obviously their success on the field, hence the bandwagon label for these fans.

First of all, I don't believe any of your bullshite story in the OP.

ok good for you

but it's pretty obvious by your responses that you are deeply hurt and bothered that people are LSU fans regardless of their affiliation to the university

---

I'm really not, in fact if you actually understand what I wrote, I acknowledge this is the case and I understand why it is.

The question I am posing, is why are LSU fans so sensitive about the topic. I suppose you could try to take the position that this isn't the case, but it would seem this thread has provided ample evidence to the contrary.

Sorry your reading comprehension sucks

And yet here you are

quote:

Tell me, do you think this is unique to LSU?

Of course not.

quote:

how can you deny that your argument is based on some level of resentment of LSU,

I'm not sure what kind of answer you expect here? The OP came from a specific interaction I had with LSU fans. It would seem odd to ask if USC fans are sensitive about their bandwagoners.

quote:

---

So, are you genuinely surprised that calling someone's allegiance to a team into question produced the response you received?

---

It is terribly ironic that you somehow think I was calling their allegiance into question based on my anecdote, then go on to repeatedly sling accusations of stupidity. I can only surmise you are extremely insecure about your own allegiance.

If your honest conclusion based on the story I related was that I called their specific allegiance into question, then you would be wise to drop the "you're dumb and your friends are dumb" shtick. Reading and comprehension are clearly not your strong suit.
