He's just joking around.
A lot of this. It's called rivalry. Embrace your culture, or don't be a part of it at all. Up here in Arkansas, we're all backwoods hillbillies, and I got proof.

Our favorite fan, "Bubba Hog":



This guy goes EVERYWHERE...

He's probably been to every game for at least the three major sports for, I don't know, at least the past 4 years. I think I first saw him sitting in the student section in 2006 for football season, and most recently during the NCAA Regionals in Fayetteville this summer, and this video is from a basketball game.

I love Louisiana and I have been all over the states. I think we have some of the best culture, food, and AMAZING looking women. But to say something absurd that we don't have computers just sound ignorant. I embrace the hell out of my culture, hell I say DAT ANT RIITE all the time lol. But who is going to embrace something that "YOU" think is true. When in reality it is far from the truth.

You say, "Embrace your culture, or don't be a part of it at all. Up here in Arkansas, we're all backwoods hillbillies, and I got proof." Well show me the proof we don't have computers cause we all live in the woods!

hahahaha, I always wanted to ask this question. I went to New Orleans back in April with my girlfriend and I saw "Geaux Saints!" everywhere and I wanted to know what it meant. BTW - New Orleans was awesome.

...I thought it was absurd enough that it was clearly a joke...

How could there be LSU posters on this board if LSU fans didn't have computers...?

It's called:
1) Sense of humor
2) Rivalry.


See you in November.

Re: What does Geaux mean, and how do you pronounce it?

Louisiana used to cover all the way up to Michigan and over to North Dakota.

Just adding more random facts to this thread.
