So who is Josh Cole?

[Bandwagon King]

The average LSU fan has a tik-tok level of comprehension. Having to put on the kid gloves for those knuckle draggers is like ignoring a wife beater because "he's a good provider." ____ that...and ____ LSU.

That's exactly what I'm talking about right there. Why be that guy? Are you telling me you can't enjoy & be just as proud of this team's accomplishments without having openly hate & despise the poor ______es who have no comprehension of the fight? I don't know. Maybe you guys do have a point. Actually, I know you have a damn good point. But the point I make is to tell you the only way you are going to grow your fan base to the numbers you want is to welcome the people who want to jump that sinking ship.

And no matter whether you hate my strategy, or agree, the timing is now. This is the time for UL to go William Wallace.

So, when I'm told constantly that I should pull for both teams because LSU is Louisiana's team, and I say thanks but no thanks I'll go on hating them.....that's my bad? I've NEVER asked why someone pulls for anybody else and UL (LSU, or whoever) but I've been asked countless times by LSU fans why I don't pull for both. When I say "because I didn't go there" (and leave out the decades of LSU ____ting on UL) I get eye rolls and looks of shock that I don't bow before the LSU alter.

As plainly as possible, LSU is a blight on Louisiana and college sports.

I'm all for crossover fans, but I'm not sugarcoating LSU for them.

I'm not saying that. I'm saying don't give LSU the time of day. Swing the conversation toward your guy & his accomplishments. Talk about what you are proud of. It won't take long once this nest ride starts with old fart coaching them until they cast their eyes on another wanting more bang for the buck. Whether you like it, or not. Whether you want to admit it, or not, you need to convert a number of those people to get where you want.

Why not be that guy? William Wallace was that guy. Mel Gibson was also that guy, and somehow is still in Hollywood. If growing our fan base means diluting the gene pool, no thanks. I'll wait for LSU to get #Metoo'ed into oblivion.

You do understand this FAN FORUM is not the real world, right? People on this UL FAN FORUM are going to skew toward hating LSU, and doing it in a loud way. That doesn't mean they treat any possible crossover fan the same way in real life situations. Are you suggesting some large number of possible crossover fans come on this board, find out that some UL fans don't like LSU (shocker, I know) and then give up?

Don't lecture me, I'm over here in Texas trying to convert UT and A&M fans....talk about fighting a losing battle.

Those people look down their noses at anything & everything Louisiana. but they sure don't mind using our stuff & our labor to make their money.

The difference is you don't have to read my _____ piece.

Dont worry....I didnt! LoL! All BS aside Kyle, you and I had our beef, hell.....20 or so years ago? We took our shots over the radio at each other for quite some time. And at some point, you reached out and came meet me at work where we sat down and chatted for a while. For everyone here that has never met you, Kyle is really a good dude. Regardless how he may come off on here. Id sit down for a cold beverage with him anytime, and I promise, any of you here would too. I still like to bust his balls on here tho. LoL! Its all in good fun.

But Wallace's fight was with the nobles. It was the nobles who caused Scotland to be subservient to England all those years. It was the commoners that he converted that allowed him to reap havoc. Most of the people in this war are just that, commoners. Those are the guys & gals UL needs to one day pull an OSU.

Some, sure. But most have been overwhelmingly friendly and open to my family. Most have a negative view of Louisiana because of how ____ty it is run, and on that they are 100% correct.

You see, that's not fair. I'm not sure who you are. You could one of a couple of dozen people, or more that hate me on the air, but we get along in private. SO let me guess, you're jeweler? And my mind ain't what it used to be either. So there's that.

Oh they're friendly, but you can bet the minute you walk ten feet away, they're thinking bless his heart. He's from Louisiana.

I'm not shocked that has been your experience.
