re: LSU sports don't always live up to expectations, but they never hit rock bottom

The Saints are as much part of New Orleans as anything, so they are first in most people in the Metro's heart, but that doesn't mean LSU football doesn't get A LOT of support.

Although the Pelicans fanbase is getting better, they are nowhere near established like the Saints, and LSU basketball is a lot closer to the pro team if not more important to most people. Of course LSU baseball is way over the Zephyrs to most people in NO.
