re: do you buy the "local pro team" hurts your college team arg?

I think it's a case by case situation. In Louisiana, the Saints/LSU actually build off of one another sometimes. I'll never forget January 2012 when the Saints were hosting a playoff game and LSU was playing for the national championship all in the same weekend. Almost all of the locals were decked out in LSU/Saints gear all weekend long. After the Saints won Saturday night, all of the Saints fans in the quarter were starting L-S-U chants and the dome went crazy when the Golden Band from Tigerland played before the Saints game started.

I've also heard L-S-U chants break out after Saints games, and Who Dat chants break out after LSU games. Louisiana is just a football crazed state for the Tigers and Saints. I really admire it. This is coming from someone who grew up out-of-state. It's definitely not like that in Tennessee with the Vols and Titans. The Pride of the Southland would get booed off the field if they played before a Titans game.
