Yeah, I know and I was really just joking. But, honestly what does it matter what someone wears to a game? Sure, although I am an LSU fan and I wouldn't wear LSU stuff to the game, I don't really see the big deal. Much like Coach can be the head coach of the Saints and wear an LSU hat, a person can go to the game, cheer for the Saints a wear LSU stuff. It's seems like an odd decision to me, but you can be a fan of both and maybe those people were just feeling their LSU pride after a big win against Arkansas. I guess I just don't see the big deal.

I mean, honestly, an argument could be made that Optimus Prime and Master Chief have nothing to do with the Saints so you shouldn't wear those costumes to games even if they are black and gold. You should wear a costume more closely related to the Saints and not some pop culture icon. I disagree with that because I think you can wear what you want and be a fan in any way that you want, but it's the same concept.

Oh please. Let's not feign ignorance to make a point here, widge.

You know damn well what those tiger baiters are doing when they wear their lsu regalia to a saints game. If you don't, then you're a sucker who doesn't know much. But I don't believe that. There's no way someone of average intelligence (which you surpass, purportedly) who lives in this area doesn't know exactly what the tiger baiter is up to.

Everyone at the saints games wears black and gold these days. It wasn't always like that. But it is now. There is social pressure to do so. It's part of the process. If you're at the game, it's reasonable to assume you wish to be part of the experience, and part of the experience is wearing saints garb.

Wearing an lsu hat isn't a random, nonchalant act. It's an act with purpose. And the purpose is to declare a specific loyalty. While the wearer may be a Saints fan, he is making a clear distinction that he is more tiger fan than Saints fan.

He's purposely going against the flow, and he's doing it to make a point. These are the same people who would say "at least we have lsu" and start tiger baiting chants during Saints games in the Ditka years.

The robot is right on point here. He knows what's going on. His robot instincts serve him well.

If I had more time, I'd have seriously pwnt this. But I'm busy so you only get half hearted mongoosian ramblings. Sorry.
