*behind Ohio State, of course
There’s college football and then there’s LSU football.
Every major program and fanbase has it’s own special personality. Ohio State is a behemoth and a stantion of tradition and their fans like to boo opposing injured players and have an insatiable thirst for pepper spray. Florida is all about speed, speed, speed and their fans wear jorts and are perpetually sundrunk. USC is as close to a professional program as you’ll find and their fans all wear product in their hair and pop their collars. You could go on and on and each program would have it’s own unique characteristics that make it different from all the others.
But nothing, and I mean NOTHING, can come close to the craziness you’ll find in Baton Rouge.
Everything about LSU seems surreal. They have Mike the fucking Tiger. They have cajuns deep-frying turkeys during tailgating. They have night games that are cooler than anything else in the sporting landscape and a tradition of batshit craziness that makes OSU fans seem sane and rational in comparison…and their football program is a reflection of that.
Which brings us to the above picture and it’s subsequent story.
Seriously, this shouldn’t be that surprising. A bunch of rednecked cajuns in the 1950’s who are probably so fucking crazy from playing football in 100 degree heat with 100% humidity in July and August giving themselves the racist nickname the “Chinese Bandits?” Color me shocked!
You know, I don’t care if this makes me sound racist, this is fucking awesome. This is why LSU football is truly LSU FOOTBAW!!! Even though it’s horribly, horribly offensive, it kind of has that same aura as that one friend everyone has that’s a huge asshole and just a total dick, but he’s funny and you don’t get offended by his shit. It’s just accepted.
But my favorite part of the whole “Chinese Bandits” thing? Everytime LSU’s defense forces a punt or gets a turnover on downs, the band plays an Asian sounding song and the whole student section bows.
Racist? Abso-fucking-lutely.
Hilarious? Abso-fucking-lutely.
If I wasn’t so dedicated to the Buckeyes…I’d totally jump ship to LSU. Every sports fan on Earth should go down to Baton Rouge for a night game…it’s like Mecca, only with much better food and a live tiger and cajuns.

My buddy moved down there last year. Went to UC for undergrad and has adopted LSU as “his” team. He just likes the drinking during game days more than anything else.
I’d like to go there for a game. Gonna hopefully go to a Tennessee game this year and do some sailgating.
Why are jorts so frowned upon?
I’d love to see a game in Lincoln, hell I would love to see a college football game anywhere but Navy and M & T Bank Stadium, which is all I have been to.
If you have to ask…
I hate ND but would love to watch a game there.
Doyt L Perry Stadium is also a nice place to watch a game
I don’t wear em, just curious as to why they are so awful. Then again, I’m far from the fashion police. Color me ignorant.
If you ever get the chance, I suggest watching a game at the Air Force Academy against one of the other services. I went to a lot of AFA games, but when they played Army or Navy it was nuts. And the pre-game flyover brought the whole US arsenal.
best experiences for college football:
1. LSU
2. OSU
3. Texas AM
4. Penn State (white out)
5. Texas
6. Wisky
7. ND
dead last. michigan
One major problem with that: It’s in Lincoln.
I heard Roman wanted to go to a Wolverine tailgate because it would afford him the opportunity to sample America’s finest wines and cheeses.
spence you forgot to put any team from florida before ohio state. but i will give you time fix it…just pick a random team
Spencer, you have been to all of those places?
Where’s ASU asshole?
I was born there HawkEye. You are on skating on thin ice.
Tempe?
yea…which is why florida wasn’t on the list.
mrejr…florida is the only team from florida that would qualify and i haven’t been there so im not gonna comment. FSU sucks, miami is garbage now that they left the OB and what other school would be worth mentioning?
but don’t knock osu…it’s a fucking 4-hour controlled riot and is heaven on earth for college football fans.
This comment is just plain stupid. I don’t argue your top seven, but surely there are worse college football experiences than Michigan.
Golden Gophers game at Metrodome, for example.
there are, but those places don’t hold themselves in esteem as college football royalty like michigan does. 110k people and no noise, getting yelled at for standing, key shaking, old people and, the worst part, michigan plays there.
i won’t begrudge you for being a michigan fan (at least not until november) but their football experience sucks royal dick.
I agree it isn’t the best considering the amount of people the place holds. When I have gone to games, I always had a good time tailgating and I have never had old people shake their keys at me. I imagine if I were to go to Columbus wearing U of M gear, I would get a worse reception and would think that experience sucked royal dick too.
central florida,florida international,tallahassee school for the blind
Good program
I went to a ‘Bama game in Tuscaloosa. That was pretty fuckin’ cool. I think. I don’t remember everything.
Thanks for reminding me that my dead mom will never see again. Thanks. Thanks.
You’re welcome?
Texas fans were pissed on and the president of tOSU had to issue an apology for their fans’ behavior after VY raped the Buckeyes in the Horseshoe, so I can just imagine how bad it could be for Michigan fans in CBus.
Clown, was that just an excuse to type “VY raped the Buckeyes in the Horseshoe”?
The holidays are awesome because every year I get to watch tOSU shit the bed in my hometown.
Way too many goddamn Buckeye fans out here.
Yeah, went a couple years ago. It was a good time. Wasn’t even harrassed too bad. They were too busy sucking Saban’s D. And talking about what it would be like to suck Bear Bryant’s D.
I know. And they are fuuuuuuucking weird. Do they save up all year to afford the trip out here? Is there that much money in meth dealing?
Maybe they treat it like a business trip and bring a stash with them to sell in Apache Junction.
I went in 1991ish when Stallings was there. Hey, did you know that ASU had an opportunity to hire him? Way to fuck that up, assholes. Marmie was awesome. At least Cooper won a Rose Bowl here though.
Good call. Write that stuff off as an expense.
Somebody needs to tell them that they don’t actually save any money by buying shirts without sleeves too. Same price.
Remember when OSU beat ASU?
awww…poor babies.
people from ohio >>> people from arizona
in all facets of life.
this is inarguable fact.
awww…poor babies.
Where have I heard this before? Oh yeah. Dick.
You forgot nyah nyah.
