re: It's time to boycott LSU and Saints

The mileage of others will obviously vary...but for me it was never a "boycott" in any traditional sense, in that I was not trying to get LSU to do anything by my lack of patronage. They just drifted a way (more like lurched quickly away) from what I had always been drawn to, and when I took a long look at the investment of both time and money I'd spent, and would continue to spend if I stayed involved, I realized that if this is what they were now that my time and money were going to be better spent elsewhere.

I'll always have incredible memories of having grown up an LSU fan and all of the things which that entails. For most people, being an LSU fan was one of the first things they'd have said about me. But as it is now, it's no longer the same thing I fell in live with as a little kid and the things which drew me in every fall are just gone. I'd say I miss it, but I miss it the same way I miss the house I grew up in which my family sold nearly 20 years ago and was fully remolded and sold a second time. Sure, I still miss that house but it really doesn't exist for me anymore. I still have all of those memories, but I can never go "home" again, if that makes sense.

If you and others still get enjoyment out of watching on TV then that's great and since my move was not boycott based, I have no hard feelings about that at all. For me though, I've just moved on entirely and it's been kind of fun to experience. I'd have NEVER EVER thought I could have dropped it all and walk away, but once I'd made the decision it was much easier than you'd think.
