Eye of the Storm-The 2005 LSU Tiger Football Season

Obviously nobody is arguing that point.

But it's comical to hear some LSU fans act as if they were saving the state by playing that football game that night. Real comical.

People affected by Katrina THAT DIDN'T GO TO LSU OR WERE FANS PREVIOUSLY OF KATRINA did not care about the game. They weren't sitting by their TV's saying "Man, my house is destroyed and my car is gone but damn I hope LSU wins to cheer me up!"

Fact is, most of the state is not full of LSU fans. If you don't believe that, it may be time to branch outside of Baton Rouge.

There's plenty of people with a degree from other Louisiana college who are fans of ALL Louisiana sports. Watching LSU DID pump up a great deal of people, since it was right after the hurricane, but so would the Saints, Hornets, La Tech, Tulane, or Southern if they were to play a game that same night. I know you realize this, but it's all about a sense of normalcy after everything the state went through prior to that game. Doesn't hurt that it was a national televised game between two SEC contenders either.
