re: #92 for USCe Takes a Ridiculous Dive

I've said numerous times that I want to beat LSU as much as Bama, if not more. I started pulling for Auburn in '99, and I'm not from the state of Alabama, so LSU has been the West team to beat for Atlanta for the majority of my time. As far as that game goes, not sure what I'll do yet.

Just out of curiousity how does that exactly work? Who did you pull for before 99? What made you choose Auburn if your not from Alabama? Did you have relatives who went their or some kind of connection?

Sorry, not trying to be nosy, just genuinely interested how that works. For me, I've grown up in Louisiana my entire life, all my family pulled for LSU, and my uncle played for the Tigers in the 70's so there was no question where my allegiances went from day 1.

That's why I'm always interested and curious when somebody has a story different to how their fandom came to be. Doesn't make it any better or worse than mine or anybody elses, just different and unique which I think is always interesting and what makes it such an awesome sport.
