90% of LSU fans of great.....

Jan 15, 2020, 2:45 PM

And while all schools have their bad fans....LSU has about 5-10%± of their fans that cross the line based on my experience as a CLEM & UF fan (I have gone to 3-4 games in BR). IMO, it stems from their culture that encourages drunkenness and wildly rude/in-your-face behavior/smack talking. Again, most of their fans are great. I would also say there is also smugness amongst many of their fans----again it stems from their culture. That state is just different.

Among the examples we saw in NO:

Two 70 year old men (on separate occasions, mind you) approached us unsolicited to explain why our schedule sucks and why they are going easily handle us. Had a 65 year old man ± in our section (147) who when he first arrived at his seat announced loudly to everyone within earshot..."you ain't playing GT." After one minute, he had offended at least four different groups of ppl. After every score, he looked to rub it in ppl's faces. Keep in mind, he's the only LSU fan nearby. Makes you wonder, why a 65 year old man feels the needs to do that. I can understand a college student who is immature or lacks the experience. Is it to cover up some other deficiency in his life...or is it a lack of confidence? Had a street thug/LSU fan stand behind our Section in the concourse harassing CLEM fans all night. He purposely chose to stand behind CLEM fans instead of watching the game on the LSU side of the field. CLEM fans simply don't do that based on my experience. Of course the NO Police did little. BY FAR the WORST police force in the country...but that's another story.

Also had several different groups of LSU fans sing their "Neck" song as we walked by (Suck that Tiger d*(& B&^%&). This was done with ZERO regard to women or children present. Just something that no CLEM fan I know would ever even dream about doing. Its just low-class.

Again, most LSU fans a real good ppl and I've found my times in BR have been great and most of them will welcome you to their tailgate with open arms. But their 10% is much worse than most schools' IMO...

I really like NO in several ways, but dislike in many others. I would MUCH prefer games in LA, Scottsdale area, Fort Lauderdale area, ATL than NO. Probably won't ever go back unless its a Natty.
