Who are you pulling for in National Championship game? LSU? Clemson?

The outcome makes no difference to Tech, IMO. In my experience, these bandwaggoners are not folks who spend a bunch of money at LSU that they WOULD have spent at Tech if LSU wasn't so good. PD may be on to something with the ease of recruiting in-state folks that are "beneath" a top 5 LSU. Who knows? I think the key to Tech taking the next step toward being like Boise is beating P5 also-rans for in-state talent. We do it here and there, but I think we've got a lot of room for growth. A Louisiana kid should never consider Kansas or even WVU over staying home to play for the dawgs.

TCU is the one that has beaten us up the most. Our bigger problem is the pay to play money we are not willing to give at this point. We have fans who think we should pay more to keep coaches who we can't pay enough to keep, but they ignore the money LaLaff and other peers are able to pay out to players.

I disagree. The bandwagons/Walmart "fans" have already purchased and will continue to buy their purple and piss colored merchandize for mega $$ and probably at least a families worth of ticket to 1 game in their lifetime or every 5 years; as well as spent hours and hours watching and cheering for the purple and pee brainwashing their kids at the same time. That makes a huge difference in my book to TECH. Tech could use this money and fan support especially in N. La. and definitely from our much smaller alumni base.

I agree with the Kansas and WVU etc.. comment

I have family and good friends who ask with a puzzled expression, “why would you not be for LSU?” Many of those asking are Tech grads. I give it to them straight... “Because we already have WAY too many Tech grads who spend their time and money being LSU fans instead of supporting their own school where their time and money would mean SO much more.”

I usually just say "Because I'm neither a drunk nor a criminal, so I dont really fit in with them."

You mean you don’t enjoy beating up Marines outside a bar?

I’ll watch it just cause Burrow is a once in a lifetime college player.

LSU wins - great
Clemson wins - ok
I think LSU doing well opens the door to some lower level 3 star guys for us. As long as Tech and LSU have football camps together, coaching clinics together and Holtz / O maintain their professional friendship, I’ll pull for LSU. I believe LSU has put us o kids that were not quite at LSU’s standards.

My money is on Clemson - I got them at +9.5 from an arrogant LSU fan - we’ll see.

LSU only signed 6 players from Louisiana this year. We should already be seeing benefits if we're going to.

I think people want to believe that argument so they can have an excuse to cheer for them. It doesn't make sense and never has. LSU has had a great year, but I hope it ends next Monday night with an L.

Can we pull the top 25 players from this state and tell me where they signed??

Not at all. I'll be cheering for Dabo and his crew. Clemson has more tradition than most SEC teams and certainly more loyal fans. That said, I won't lose sleep if lsu wins. If you gonna be a good lsu hater like me and others be sure to NEVER say lsu in caps.

I actually used to do the lsu thing myself- now, I don't care that much. I have heard from several people why I should cheer for them an how that helps us when they do well. I didn't include you in that group. I will always hope they lose, whether it is ping pong, basketball, tiddlywinks, etc.

LSU winning does not help keep the top talent in-state.

Top 25 (2 unsigned)
lsu - 6
UGA - 2
TCU - 2
Virginia - 2
Auburn - 1
Colorado - 1
aTm - 1
Florida State - 1
Kentucky - 1
Florida - 1
Vandy - 1
Bama - 1
Tulane - 1
Louisville - 1
Arkansas - 1

We signed 12 of top 100, but highest ranked was 41. Les Miles got 2 to Kansas before we got our first.
