I don't, but I care to see them succeed for the same reason I am an LSU fan and don't care about any certain NFL team. LSU and the players represent my home. NFL teams aren't mostly made up of Louisiana products, so I follow the individual players.

You misspelled "Kenner".


Kenner is blue collar, so it has more LSU fans in my opinion. Many soccer fans as well.

It doesn't make me feel one way or the other. I was just curious. I know some people from LA get a kick out of dickriding Bama in a state full of LSU fans. It's actually pretty pathetic.

But if you actually went to Bama then carry on, ya gump frick.

Because LSU fans have an allegiance to a school, not a coach.

speaking as a fellow senior citizen, you shouldn't let these damned old trolls get your blood pressure up.

t's not that we care more about players once they go pro (as compared to when they were in college), it's that we care more about former LSU players than other fanbases care about their former players.



That's not even close to true. What do you guys think you are, the Auburn Fambly?

If LSU is "blue collar", I guess Alabama is "trailer trash"?

the same reason why you Bama fans care about other random, insignificant facts. You would care and it would be plastered all over this forum if your team was at the top. You're at the top of everything else. Let everyone else enjoy the limelight occasionally

Did you know that Alabama leads the NFL in backup QBs with shitty chest tats?

I didn't say LSU, I said Kenner. IMO most blue collar people who are college football fans follow the state school. I dont have a problem with that, why do you?

Many CFB programs claim to care about their players, but at LSU it really is the truth.

I think much of this comes from the fact that La. has the Saints and we actually realize that the vast majority of these young men want to succeed in the NFL more than winning a championship at an academic institution of higher learning that has an amatuer football team.

On the flip side of this equation is the attitude of Bama fans about their former players. Bama fans could care less what happens to their former players and are only concerned with winning championships. The odd thing that has always struck me when socializing with bama fans is the fact that they think football starts and ends with bama. Hell, many of them openly brag about not caring about the NFL.

I think the fact that a professional league exists only reminds them how pathetic they are that the NFL doesn't deem the state of Al. important enough to put a franchise there.

But Bama is two time defending SEC champion and in the playoff so we are on top in college football, which is what this web site is about.

Why does this question anger some of you so much, I just wondered why it was more important.

Just curious about a phenomenon that seems exclusive to the LSU fan base. Sorry for wanting to discuss a sports related subject on a college football message board.


BS. The original question is just too stupid to be serious. It's just a pathetic attempt at trolling. LSU fans obviously don't care MORE about the players' successes AFTER college.
