re: Being an LSU fan in Alabama

To the OP couple things, and they may seem to contradict each other until you think about it:
1) I feel your pain. I'm an Aggie and have lived in BR for 8 years and in Austin for 17... It is hard to live behind that curtain of fandom.
2) If you think that LSU fans in BR (or Louisiana in general) are any better about making things all about the Tigers you are sadly mistaken. I have lived in a couple of other college towns through the years and let me just assure you, Baton Rouge is THE top of the pyramid for biased fans. For example, my firm's reward for exceeding sales quota one year was to get a tour of the new suites, the new work out facilities and upgraded Tiger Stadium by... NICK SABAN!!! Now, this was in 2003 before Nick had become NICK!!!! and before he had become Nick Satan... But THAT was our incentive>>> get to MEET the coach and get a tour. Would have preferred a set of steak knives or a GC to Olive Garden. NOBODY thought it was weird. EVERYONE (but me) was excited.
