re: Why do you have to be a graduate to be a true fan?

was born and raised in Louisiana listening to John Ferguson and Jim Hawthorne with my dad.
I listened to most every game I could on the radio as a North Louisiana kid growing up (yes, I'm also a cowboys fan so hate away). In those days most of the LSU games weren't on TV.
My dad took me to my first game as a 9-10 year old in Tiger Stadium around 1969-70 and I was hooked! However, I worked my way through school at NLU.
It always gets under my skin a little bit when I run across LSU graduates that think I'm less of a fan than they are. Many are LSU grads because their Mom and Dad paid for it.
I wore an LSU cap to a high school ball game last year in DFW. After a short conversation about LSU Football with a guy, he made it clear to me that he "actually went to LSU" in a condescending manner.
To all of you that think you are better than myself because you actually went there. Just so you know; I'll be at the Miami game on labor day weekend wearing my LSU hat whether you like it or not!
