Around this time tomorrow, I will be standing on north campus in Athens Georgia celebrating with 90K Georgia fans, and another 25K Yellow and Purple Bourbon Drinking Corn-Dog smelling LSU fans.
I have never been to a soccer game over in Europe, but from what I hear the only American sports contingent that matches the passion and comradery of their fans are the swamp people from Louisianna.
I have an absolute love affair with LSU fans. They are wild, rude, drunk, obnoxious, and just plain fun to spend a fall Saturday with.
But because they are such a "different breed of cat" as my dad always said, below are a few rules about how to talk to an LSU fan.
Rule 1. LSU fans are like bears. You must approach them calmly and without fear. If they sense that you are nervous or wishing them illwill, they will unload a barage of cajun cursing upon you at the drop of the hat.
Rule 2. Ignore the initiall threat. People who have trouble with LSU fans tend to react to the initial taunts they are known to throw your way. Example, when approaching LSU fan, just ignore the Tiger Bait chant and proceed directly to offering to take a shot of bourbon with them. This will put LSU fan at ease and allow the celebration to commence.
Rule 3. LSU fans smell like corndogs, however they do not like to be told so. If you begin to notice the smell of corndogs or funnel cakes, just keep it to yourself. LSU fan is very selfconscious of his odor.
On that note, enjoy yourself this weekend, and as always GOOOOO Dawgs. Sic Em.
