Alaskan College Football Fans

A few years ago my wife and I moved to Alaska after living for 30+ years in Mississippi.
17 of those years were spent either going to school or working at Ole Miss so I was conditioned to respond to certain external stimuli… like the proper response when some elderly random person greets me with Hotty Toddy… or some other rando yells out “Are you ready!”

So all this to talk about an encounter with someone wearing LSU gear.

I was walking out of the Huffman post office in Anchorage one day when a fella wearing the most obnoxious PURPLE long sleeved button down with LSU script the shirt steps up and holds the door open for me… I knew I should have been sus especially since I was wearing my Ile Miss colors proudly, but I yelled out Go to Hell LSU! The guy steps back shocked like I had just sprouted a third eye. I was confused so I started to apologize and he tells me condescendingly that he always enjoyed a crazy fan.

Well this sourdough was no longer a cheechako so I should have known better than to assUme. Alaskans don’t follow college football like they do down south. I was lucky I wasn’t bear sprayed.
