I completely understand that. What I’m asking about is the people who purposely go out and make sure they are decked out so other people KNOW they are LSU fans (or Bama fans, etc). Like bringing a flag.

I didnt get the chance to go to LSU. So this is my chance to overcompensate and flaunt all my cheap crap I bought at Academy and Walmart.

I always assumed they just use their tailgate setup at the beach

It's also possible that a lot of the gear they use to tailgate is also quite useful at the beach...

Because college sports are a big deal in the south.

Speaking of not giving a frick. You should try it.

LSU tent, chairs, yeti

For those three items, maybe.. just maybe, they don't really want to bother with the expense (or storage) of separate items for tailgating vs. beachgoing.

Dipshit!

Seems kinda like a trivial thing to be mad about.

Then explain the LSU beach chairs and the flag one brings to fly from his tent.

Not mad. Curious and asking why.

I don’t realize that I own so much LSU and saints stuff until I pack to go on vacation. It’s okay to wear it around town but I hate wearing it on vacation. Last time we went to Branson I had a LSU titleist hat and about 10 people said “ geaux tigers” to me. I never respond. I usually act like I didn’t hear them

Because people are big LSU fans and own a lot of LSU shite.

You got any other questions that are troubling you on this fine morning?

I take my own potted rosemary with me to the beach just to remind me where I am. Smells great.

No shite!

A huge number of Bama fans wear team gear everyday, regardless of where they are going. I've seen Bama clothing at funerals and upscale restaurants. Never has there been a fanbase whose personal identity is wrapped up in a sports team of a college that they never attended.

Yea, why bring an American Flag? Or in Texas, a Mexican flag?

Why do people put "Don't Mess With Texas" on their bumper? Or those South Carolina "Palmetto State" window stickers?

If you don't know why this "tribalism" exists, read up on the last 70,000 years of human history.
