Where did you sit last night?

I sat between LSU's band and the "Zone"

What time did you leave the game?

With just under 2 minutes left in the 4th quater.

How was traffic?

Stayed beside the staduim in a condo, so I didn't have a fight trafic.

Was there an event going on new the stadium?

I don't think there was, just a big home game for USC.

Its cool, I guess I sound like flake but the Clemson games seem much more family friendly. To each their own

No, not a priest. Just different I guess, thanks to everyone for clearing it up for me.

-Physical shoving of 2 USC while intoxicated in the stands.
-Verbal antognizing from 2 LSU fans of 3 separate groups of USC fans, trying to start another physical altercation
-When LSU scores or makes a big play, dancing in the center isle or soliciting high 5's from young USC fans
-Drinking in the stands (they were thrown out of the staduim)
-Throwing hot dogs to the visitor section (also thrown out)
-well rehearsed,ignorant, but malicious chants of a sexually explicit nature toward the home team. There were some adolescent kids in the immediate vicinty.
-Constantly badgering of how sorry USC was
-Tasteless, sexually suggestive T-shirts
-Chants modified with curse words that apparently most of the fan base is familiar with
-More intoxicated (full grown males) waving chicken wings, dancing, and hurling insults to the USC band walking through the tailgating section
-"Pimps", beads, and sexually suggestive stickers are always nice
-LSU Tailgating parties that have a stripper pole

LSU fans in general?

Posted by clemsonlsufan on 10/19/08 at 9:02 pm
Last night was my first SEC game which was the LSU vs. SC game. Being a graduate from Clemson, they are my fav. but I almost went to LSU for grad school, so I root for them in the SEC. A USC friend of mine let me go to the game with him and we sat beside the vistors (LSU) section.

It was my first experience with a group of LSU fans and was severely disappointed. I witnessed some of the most rude, profane, selfish, disrespectful, and maliciously hateful behavior of any group of people I have ever seen? It wasn't just a select few, the majority of the LSU fans I saw were acting in this manner?

I felt pretty sorry for my in state rival friends, the onslaught lasted throughout the game. It was a big letdown to me personally. As a Clemson fan, we lose quiet a bit, especially this year, but I have never seen treatment of another team's fans anywhere close to this. No even from the instate rivalry game.

2 questions:

1. Is this type of behavior pretty much the norm for LSU fans in general?

2. Is it cultural or just specific to the traveling, away game fanbase?
