That's funny and i sincerely appricate you not inserting LSU grad...although i know may of them where it would be appropriate

yeah, one of those where you can insert whatever team you love to hate on, but not LSU. I also judge a school by their fans. I have a co-worker, also an Alabama fan, who went down to BR for a game a few years back. He said the LSU fans were nicer than the people he went with. lol that has been my experience, a very friendly rivalry, class folks down on the bayou.

Life is too short to hold a grudge, also too long.  ~Robert Brault

The trouble with always leaving yourself a way out is that you always take it. ~Robert Brault

And if you'll forgive a slight off topic meandering, I can help with BarbieD's "not sure of origins" for her last addition to this thread (that saying has interesting Chinese origins):

Play like you've worked at it, and don't worry about sounding like your influences.  You can't cheat on them, or your practice, anyway.  If you've worked hard at your skill, your audience will know it.
