Why I Am Still A LSU Fan

I root for the home team, how about you?

Why I Am Still A LSU Fan

If you grew up in Louisiana odds are that you grew up cheering for the Tigers. Bleed purple, live gold, am I right? However, recently people have been dissing the tigers. I get it, this season we have had a rough start. Last season we lost three games in a row, and we all want to have some choice words with Les Miles. I’ve even seen some people saying they would be cheering for their secondary teams this season because they want to cheer for a team that might have a shot. The last time I checked, LSU has a little over a 60% winning percentage and I still like those odds when it comes to game day.

Well, all you fair-weather fans can have your secondary teams. Send all your tiger gear my way, and when we make a comeback and rein our terror again in Death Valley, stay away. Maybe you Negative Nancy’s are our problem anyway. You doubters, you naysayers, you can all stay away.

You people who don’t cheer for LSU, are traitors. Don’t even try to argue this point, if you are FROM Louisiana and you LIVE in Louisiana, but your loyalty lives outside this great state, then maybe you should rethink where you live. When I see you’re A&M, Ole Miss, and even..*shudder* Bama flags flying on PURPLE AND GOLD land…. I want to tear it down.

When the Olympics are going on, who do you cheer for? USA. You ALWAYS cheer for the home team. You cheer for the guys representing YOUR city. YOUR state. YOUR country. You cheer for the guys you went to school with, the guys who come from the same place as you. It’s the American thing to do. So basically, cheering for LSU, when you’re in Louisiana… is the American thing to do. So get with the program, or get out.

I cheer for LSU because I grew up with some of the players, they’re from my town, from my state. Those boys were raised on the same hallowed grounds of this great state we call home. Those players proudly represent MY state, MY home. I’ve been wearing purple and gold since I entered this world. I’ve been singing “geauxxxx tigers” since I could talk. I know I am not the only one either. LSU is one of the ORIGINAL S.E.C charter members, founded in December of 1932.

LSU isn’t just a team, it’s a tradition, a lifestyle, a culture of Louisiana. LSU is a way you were raised, how you spent your Saturday afternoons. It’s the shirts your daddy wore and flag your momma put in front of your house.

So, next Saturday, I’ll be cheering for the home team. How about you?

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
