First of all, can we just get past the spelling references? Believe me, I've taught English in Plano for the last nine years, and most of my students there can't spell, either. Secondly, Tiger fans have also been through some very lean years, so true Tiger fans are far from fair-weather. Bleeding purple and gold is pretty much a mark of pride when someone is from south Louisiana. Regardless, we also know how Mean Green fans feel because we haven't always commanded ultimate respect ourselves. And finally, I'll be in Baton Rouge (provided Katrina doesn't blow everyone--and the power--away) next Saturday with my North Texas alum husband (we need to find him a UNT shirt for the day). We have pretty decent seats that we bought from North Texas, and since we live in Texas and only make one or two LSU games a year, our single game tickets are usually near the visitors, and we love the seats. When the action is in the north endzone, it's hard to see, but when the team is on our side of the field, the view is quite exciting. Geaux Tigers--and UNT fans, please come ready to have a good time. My uncle's RV is always parked off of Parker behind the old ag colliseum. If we see people in Mean Green gear, we're going to invite you over.
