Anyway, we met alot of Ohio fans and everyone was so nice. We had a blast.

I do have to say that Bourbon St (just as a previous poster stated) can bring out the worst in any fan base, especially one that feels at home here. If you played LSU back in Baton Rouge you would experience something totally different. You'd be invited over to tailgate spots as you pass by to try the Gumbo or Jambalaya. That's the majority of LSU fans.

My friends that have made the drive back home this morning said that the Ohio fans they met were all saying that LSU fans were the nicest they'd come across. On Bourbon St, you're definitely open to experiencing many different types of people, from fantastic to horrible. That's the way it's always been and always will be I guess.

It's a shame that some jerks always have to surface, and I just hate that they left such a bad impression. On the other hand, I had a fantastic time and met some great folks from Ohio State.

I wasn't there, but it's clear from hearing many experiences over the years that the majority of college football fans from any team are great people. There are always a few idiots and they tend to make themselves known, but hopefully nobody judges a fanbase merely from their worst representatives. We've had some of the best of LSU visiting here for this game, and hope our new members stick around to continue talking football in the future.
