Saints, LSU or both
IMO, the Saints have had more of an impact on the state and the region than LSU.
For everything that LSU has done, their success is still regional.
Outside of LSU’s base, you really won’t see anyone that would recognize Orgeron or Les Miles.
And one of the LSU championship QBs in Jamarcus Russell is only known as a draft bust.
The Saints are a national brand. Payton and Brees are going to the Hall and are forever associated with the franchise.
And I know LSU only fans don’t wanna hear this, but that one Super Bowl means more than the three nattys.
