re: LSU Fans in Alabama

I'm from Bamaland. My family are mostly Auburn (grandparents, uncle, mom, brother) alums. My dad teaches at Auburn. I catch plenty of hell when we lose to them, but they always cheer for us when we're playing somebody else (as I do for them).

A lot of Bama fans can be supremely obnoxious about it. The alums less so than the hick hangers-on. But, there's a sort of ridiculous superiority thing they have going that is just intolerable -- like Yankees fans.

I love my Tigers, and I don't want anyone to think LSU is a school of a-holes. So I don't talk a bunch of crap. We like to win. We love our team, and we will do our best to make you lose to them. We're definitely rowdy, and we take football seriously. But, we mostly like to have a good time. I love that we have a reputation that we'll invite you over to tailgate no matter what your team is.
