Great replies!
*Fans from all over are welcome. Not just in the area

I built an outdoor kitchen (actually a small guest house) and painted the walls purple and gold. LSU toothbrush holder, towels, border, cabinet pulls, light switch plates, commode cover, area rug....

When we lose....My phone rings and I catch hell from friends and co-workers. (Many also call when we're winning too cause they know when I answer they'll hear my LSU band CD in the background when I answer).

I seldom let 'em see me sweat but couldn't hide it after Auburn game.:angryfire

just loving the Tigers??? I can't stand when people consider you a bad fan if you question the coaches or the players or ever get made at anyone. No matter how mad you get, you still ove the tigers. Thats all that matters.

I wore my favorite LSU shirt to the Auburn/Florida game last week!! That should let everyone know that I am a true Tiger Fan.:geauxtige

Sticking it out during the Dinardo era...

True fans always support their team no matter what

A true fan is if you love the Tigers. And I think there is a tad of validity about being "born a Tiger fan."

Still, we do pick up some followers along the way for no particular reason. My favorite example was a student I taught up here in Texas some years ago. His dad was an Ole Miss grad, but the son LOVED LSU. The year I taught him, his dad took him to the LSU/Ole Miss game in Tiger Stadium. He swore it was the best experience of his life--and he bought me an LSU license plate that still hangs in my classroom. He's college-aged now; I wonder if he goes to LSU...

I agree. But LSU born fans have the responsibility to keep the tradition alive with your own young ones. I taught my daughter all the songs and she could spell TIGERS by the age of 7 months. We are working on TIGER BAIT now, she will be ready by next season. :geauxtige

My five-year-old refers to LSU as "our Tigers," even though she's a Texan. And the seeds have already been planted about her attending LSU for college. Her younger sister will be the same.

My daughter will be born this December. We have her season ticket ready for next season. We also have her an autographed "Born to be a Tiger too" book that we had the team sign at fan day this year. My wife has not missed a game even though she is miserable. I have to give her props for that.

I cannot imagine being at the games THAT pregnant. It wouldn't be fun. The only time I was at a game pregnant was against Oregon State in '04, but I was only 3.5 months at the time, so I wasn't miserable.

She drew the line at road games this season although she was pretty upset that she woudn't be able to make it to the SECCG if the season would play out that way. She tells me she will be ready for the bowl game though. I'll believe it when I see it.
