This past weekend, I conducted a journalistic experiment on a four-night cruise to Cozumel.
I wore an LSU shirt or shorts daily to spark conversation. I wanted to discover what the average person, likely a fan of another SEC school, thought of LSU.
To assure the boat wasn't overloaded with Purple and Gold faithful, the port of origin was Mobile and not New Orleans.
Before my wife and I had even boarded the Carnival Fantasy, two women spotted my purple shirt with LSU's familiar Tiger eye logo.
"We love Awwwwww-burn, too," said the blonde who had excellent hang time on her Southern drawl.
