It's not LSU alumni I find so distasteful...
except when UNO is playing LSU in basketball or baseball, of course. I mean, take my friend Paul. He's a banker, went to East Jefferson, then LSU. In his office, he's got one of those models of Tiger Stadium on his bookshelf. He's as proud of going to LSU as I am of going to UNO. Same goes for the guys I know who went to Tulane, Alabama, Georgia, Boston College, and a bunch of other schools.
It's the white trash that gets on my nerves, the people who are obnoxious purple and gold, even though many of them sing the "GED Fight Song." You know, the guys that look like they just got released from doing 14 days in the Terrebone Parish lockup, and the women who kept the trailer warm for them.
I guess every big school has the townie wannabees like the Tiger fans.

Wow. Surprisingly elitist in tone.
yeah, I suppose it is.
Yeah, I'm a bit disappointed. I choose to believe you had a momentary lapse of judgement. :)
well, if there's one subject where I often exercise poor diplomatic skills and bad judgement, it's LSU. :-)
