BUSTED COVERAGE reports today that a reporter at the student newspaper LSU REVEILLE had the bright idea to wear an Alabama shirt around LSU tailgates at the UA-LSU game two weeks ago in Baton Rouge.
(LSU’s old ‘n busted: Nick Saban. New hotness: Bear Bryant!)
The reporter then had her experiences filmed and posted onto Youtube. Highlights and video after the jump.
Sampled reax from LSU fans to the faux-Alabama reporter (who is a cutie and probably mitigated the mean-spirited derision):
“I hope we murder you mostly.”
“If the earth ever had to take a poop, Tuscaloosa would unpucker and poop would come out.”
“Nick Saban, you’re a f—ing douche bag.”
The reporter was also pelted with objects, mooned, had flying snot pointed in her direction. And of course, serenaded with chants of “Tiger bait” throughout the piece. (Where were the strippers?)
Wonder what would’ve happened if the reporter had been a black male? Or wearing a turban?

Not surprising at all.

It's hard to find fans of any SEC school that wouldn't act like this. Except maybe Vanderbilt.

What if this Alabama-posing reporter was a guy? I'm sure we'd see a lot more physical assaults accompanying the verbal assaults.

What was this reporter expecting? Hugs and wishes of good luck?

It would have been more fun to interview the same people right after the game, when LSU lost in OT.

Pretty tough talk for a team that was almost blown out by Troy.

"Tiger Bait" is the stupidest chant in the history of ever. Bait doesn't mean "food." Bait is a lure you use to CATCH SOMETHING stupid enough to take said bait. Like, for example, an LSU fan.
What a bunch of illiterate homeauxs.
