First hand account of guy that got booed out of UL Stadium... - Anhil8tor - 11-03-2008

I am a former LSU student who lives in Lafayette, LA. At the beginning of the season, I bought a purple and gold collared LSU shirt to wear on Saturdays in support of the Tigers. I came in from work in Texas this weekend and my girlfriend asked me if I wanted to meet up with her family at the UL homecoming football game at half time. I thought about whether or not it would interfere with the LSU vs. Tulane game and agreed that I would go as long as I could get out of there by 7 to watch LSU. She said OK and I headed to the UL game with her. As we walked in she said, “Are you going to take off that LSU shirt?” I said hell no, this shirt shouldn’t be a problem at a UL game. What took place in the next 30 minutes proved I was wrong, it was a big problem. I walked in and people were giving me dirty looks. So, just to keep from getting in a fight or something, I stopped at a stand and purchased a ULL bright red cap for $22.00. I put the hat on and walked in the upper deck. As I walked down to where her family was sitting, I heard a bunch of people hollering at me blurting out profanity saying, “F you LSU, Go the F to Baton Rouge ****!, LSU sucks, Get the F outta here, Take that shirt off!” I pointed to my ULL red hat which was on my head, saying hey guys I’m on your side. They just got louder so I turned away. As I was trying to pretend I didn’t hear them I hugged my girlfriend’s mom and said hello to her grandparents and sat down. Then, hoping the rude comments would fade out, I heard the whole crowd start chanting “TAKE THAT SHIRT OFF, TAKE THAT SHIRT OFF, TAKE THAT SHIRT OFF!” The chant was so loud that I think someone could’ve heard them all the way in Baton Rouge. It was unbelievable, I even had a ULL cap on and they still hated me so much. Probably 10,000 people were booing and chanting to take my shirt off. So I thought about what I should do. I definitely wasn’t taking my shirt off. The chanting had become unbearable. I might have sat down for 2 minutes when I looked over at my girlfriends family and said, Well I’m leaving, see you guys later. When I stood up, everyone in the upper deck stood up too, the whole crowd roared in happiness because I got up and was walking out. It was the most humiliating thing I could have ever imagined. They were throwing ULL nerf footballs, drinks and other stuff at me. As I left the upper deck I looked at everyone in there and took the hat off that I bought and threw it on the ground. Even though I had a ULL cap on, they still completely booed me out of the stands because my shirt said LSU. One guy told me that I was a bitch for wearing a LSU shirt and that he ought to kick my a@$ for that. The police had to help me get out of there. Needless to say, I have never been so shocked and disturbed in all my life.
I did not tell you this story because I feel sorry for myself or anything. What they did to me was wrong. It was me vs. 10,000 + UL fans. What really disturbed me was that I was spending money toward their athletic program, and supporting them. What they did in return was BOOED me out of town. I will never, ever send any of my kids there or donate a dime to that school. I live in Lafayette, I like football and was willing to support ULL as a second favorite team. I even bought a cap! So much for that.

No but he must think it is. He is posting what happened at the LSU message board.

If you got to another stadium with the opposing teams jersey on you run this risk.Every time I go to an away game like in DC or at the Giants I wear regular clothes and keep my cheering on the down low.Its the only decent thing to do.I've seen 8 year old boys have beer thrown at them for wearing Giants hats.Serves those little pricks right.
