Having grown up an LSU fan (up until I started College), I have found it hard to shake my desire to see LSU Baseball succeed (unless of course you are playing my beloved Tigers). That being said, good luck at the CWS - do the SEC proud!
Thanks Chuck, I didn't know that you grew up a "REAL" tiger. You have always been real supportive of LSU, and now I know why. Thanks,
Chuck where are you from Originally ??? Where did you grow up. If you dont mind me pulling back the curtain a bit ??
Well, technically, I "grew up" in Connecticut (ages 9-college), but from 1980 - 1984 I lived in Mandeville, LA. It was during that time that my early allegances were formed (Saints and LSU). When I moved up to CT, those allegances grew stronger b/c I was surrounded by NY Giants fans and people who didn't follow college football. My older brother went to LSU and I simply didn't want to follow him to college (nothing personal, just been following him my whole life), so I decided that while I still wanted to go to a SEC school, it wouldn't be LSU.
Wow you are well traveled talk about culture shock, Mandeville and the north shore to Connecticut... Went from Y'all to Yous guys... I have a strange one myself, born in Baton Rouge, move to Saudi Arabia, Rhode Island, Houston, and Chicago then back home. (Dad worked for Exxon) Hard to grow roots.
