:hihi::hihi::hihi::hihi::hihi::hihi::hihi::hihi::hihi::hihi::hihi::hihi::hihi::hihi::hihi: GEAUX TIGERS! I'm glad I'm back in Louisiana but know exactly how you feel after living in California for a decade. You guys are awesome! Don't take crap from any of them! Fly those colors proudly! They can steroetype us all they want but they can't take away our pride!...or titles. :lol:
i was living in texas during the 03 national championship, and there were about 10 OU people living in my neighborhood, after the final ticks went off the clock, i grabbed my LSU flag, and did a victory lap around the neighborhood to a chorus of boos from a few people that were outside when i did it.
It is great to be a Tiger in Texas. I was told how some guy was going to crush 2 homers and lead the horns to victory behind the best pitching in USA. She hasn't spoken to me today. I smile when she passes.
I don't live in Texas and God willing I never will. I do however live close enough to it to experience the "everything in Texas is better" attitude. I even get it from my friggin in-laws who lived all of their lives in Louisiana until right before Katrina moved to Podunk, Texas. Now, they have this attitude that everything and everyone from Texas is the greatest and Louisiana is just a second class state full of second class citizens. It infuriates me to no end! I just want to smack them upside the head and say "YOU are from Louisiana you idiots". I don't hate UT like I do A&M but that's a whole other thread.
Thankfully, no ut fans on my street. A Razorback next door wished me luck yesterday when I put out my flag. And yes, it is still flying too.
Have I mentioned that my wife is a UT grad? She's on an island, though. My entire family, both mother and father's sides are LSU through and through, whereas her family is divided (her mother and father went to Nebraska, sister went to UC-Davis). She's going to hear it good for awhile and have no one to back her up.
When I first moved to Texas in '97, I felt very isolated up here, but in the past decade, North Texas has become filthy with LSU grads. My LSU sign hangs in my front flower garden year-round--proudly in victory and defeat. At Moody Gardens in Galveston last weekend, one couldn't turn around without running into an LSU fan. The bartender @ the pool bar was even an LSU student. It felt almost like being at home.
