Eye of the Storm-The 2005 LSU Tiger Football Season

Saint Will said

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.

Are you SURE you are from Louisiana, Will? I have lived in almost every area of Louisiana at one time or another in my life, with maybe the exception of the Monroe area. Without any doubt in my mind, I can say that LSU sports are FAR more important than any other college in the state. I know I might get raked over the coals for saying this, but LSU is even more popular than the Saints football in Louisiana as a whole. It's the truth. I mean how many people in Louisiana do you see with USL, Tulane, La Tech, Nicholls State or Northwestern State stickers on car windows compared to LSU? How many other stadiums in Louisiana rutinely pack 93,000 fans into thier stadiums other than LSU. Or for that matter how many others are just rutinely pack. Only LSU holds that distinction. I just think you are just plain wrong in your assessment. So, for those from Louisiana who don't care for LSU, that's your choice. But make no mistake. LSU football is Louisiana!
