I realize nothing can take your memories away in the Junction, District, Pony Club with the boys and all. But what is stopping Joe Fan that has been Maroon since he was born from donating 10 bucks to LSUs NIL collective and saying he has skin in the game? Why put yourself through the torture?
I don't understand this post. What has changed? We've always been a bottom tier program in football, why would my fandom change now? Regarding pro teams I'm just as committed and loyal to my pro team as MSU. Band wagon fans have always existed in all sports forever so that is nothing new.
