Actually, I met quite a few people from different states out there (VA, MI, OR, etc) and it was basically the same.

Don't doubt that. I'd guess that the hate is strongly related to proximity of LSU.


Put it this way, if you haven't been to TS for a game, don't run into LSU fans at least weekly and haven't had the pleasure of attending a bowl game against LSU then you probably won't hate LSU or their fans unless you're purely jealous of LSU's success.


If you've only watched on TV and met a few LSU fans who were on their best behavior on vacation outside the south, you've most likely formed a positive opinion.


"World" traveler LSU fans (such as yourself) are probably more likeable because you have a knowledge of more than Louisiana and it's little LSU cocoon. There are a much larger number of LSUers who think LSU sports are everything that matters in the world, and those are the ones who turn off fanbases of other schools.
