While I agree with the first part of your sentence, I think you give us LSU fans too little credit. We have always had lives apart from sports. Still do. I believe that LSU fans are just naturally more hospitable than most.

I'm quite sure that there are any number of savvy businessmen that are Alabama fans, for example. What I don't believe is that anything like the SEC Rant would have occurred to them, or succeeded if it had. It's just not in your nature, IMO.

See, I disagree.

There are no inherent qualities associated with being a fan of any particular school or franchise. People are people, regardless of their fandom. We talk shite to one another, but apart from Vandy folks (who are inevitably grads, and not just fans), we are demographically the same.

Wearing orange and blue, purple and gold, or red and white do not change who you are.

Are you really arguing that the SEC Rant is a success because Chicken is an LSU fan?

It's a success because Chicken had enough common sense to recognize that there were a lot of SEC fans out there who were tired of circle jerk team fan sites and wanted a place they could discuss sports with all the fan bases. It has nothing to do with him being an LSU fan.

WTF? LSU has normal fans like any fan base and crazies like any fan base.
