Never stopped cheering for LSU. My wife, who I met at Texas, let every single person we met in Austin this year know I didn’t go to LSU. So I stepped back and let her get tiger baited a few times.




Texas was my first choice but then I settled for LSU because I didn't want to pay the out of state tuition as my old man wasn't going to pick up the tab. I sometimes wonder how life would've turned out had I gone away to Austin but I was yelling Tiger Bait from a young age and can't imagine cheering for anyone ever against the Tigers. Honestly, the fact that Texas had little likelihood of playing LSU was a big reason I considered them over another SEC school. Even as terrible as the Curley era was, I wouldn't trade it for the world as it made the Night the Magic Came Back and everything that came afterward that much sweeter.

Figures that my old man now lives deep in the heart of Texas.

Same on not wanting dad to pick up the tab. Texas requires all athletes to live in dorms their first two years, and then you have to live outside of student housing for a year to qualify for in-state tuition. I would have been six-figures in debt starting senior year if I wanted to finish up there. No thanks.
