For the most part, only Tech and our good Ragin' Cajun friends dare to stand up to that notion. MOST, and I mean, 90+% of NSU, McNeese, SLU, ulm, Nicholls....etc grads/students/fans LOVE themselves some LSU! They worship at the altar of tigger sports. I know one NSU employee, who is also an NSU alum and big time Demon athletic supporter, who actually rooted for LSU when they played NSU in football. His logic: LSU beating NSU will have no adverse effect on the Demons, but LSU losing to the likes of NSU would greatly damage LSU's national championship hopes.
So....it's not enough for Tech Nation to be "not on the LSU bandwagon," that is too passive. No, we have to be pro-active anti-LSU. No one should be surprised that anyone connected to pigtails is all in for LSU. She is too. She said herself, she would have gladly gone to LSU, actually wanted to, but that Tech was much higher on the WBB ladder at that time and she wanted to compete for national championships. Had LSU's program been on par with Tech's, she would have gone to LSU.
