just another post to get my total off of 666
Only if the Horns had Jericho Jones on their team.....
Ok.. I now live in TX.. and agree with Tyler. So I can see how people still living in LA could pull for LSU. What I don't understand is how/why people who are current students at La Tech, plan to cheer for LSU this fall when Tech plays LSU in BR. If you really LOVE LSU that much then why not go there??!!?? I'm not here to bash LSU or those who want to go there. I guess I"m just amazed when people don't even support the school they are attending???:bigcry:
I know I didn't. I have stated before and will do it again that I wore TECH BLUE in Tiger stadium last time and next year will be no different.
I cant understand this logic at all. I am a tech student and a big fan of tech athletics but I dont understand this idea of "competition" between Tech and LSU. Tech clearly has a lower caliber athletic program than LSU and there's is nothing wrong with that. We are in the WAC and LSU is in the SEC. Surely we can all admit those conferences arent comparable. Tech is regionally recognized and LSU is nationally recognized...just look at the recruits that tech gets compared to the ones that LSU gets in every sport. Also look at the number of pros that the two schools churn out every year. There is no comparison!
WAC schools are our real competition and I dont think we even have the same level of hatred for them that we do for LSU. I dont know about the rest of you but I was actually glad to see Fresno make the CWS run last year because it looked good for our conference and gave us a bit of legitimacy in a way. Why cant we feel supportive of LSU as Tech fans becasue we know that a national championship will bring attention to our state?
I think the true issue is jealousy. Lets all be adults about this, drop the lame name calling (Chigger Lovers, LSBooo, etc) and respect the program that LSU has built.

Welcome to the board, Benzino. But this has been thoroughly discussed.
Here's the underlying flaw in your position.
Actually, there is something very wrong with that. It's wrong because their "success" was only established by decades of fraud and corruption, using their legislative and bureaucratic cronies to supress achievement at the state's other instituions.
This arbitrary (and largely undue) favoritism has been well documented. Please take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with this debate on one of the many other threads.
Again, welcome to BB&B.
And to hell with the flagship.
That LSU built with the lions share of money from the state going to LSU with the rest left for all other universities... (But that is a whole different thread..):icon_wink:
There are people on here who hate LSU for a number of reasons, and I guess that's ok.. we all have teams that we love to hate in all types of sports. As I stated earlier, I don't understand a few people that I personally know who have stated that they will secretely root for LSU when Tech plays them this fall.. and they are currently Tech students. There are also alumni of Tech who give money to LSU instead of Tech, which again this I do not understand. What happened to "Being true to your school?"
