I wholeheartedly disagree. Generally, you'll find most WKU fans have tremendous respect for the Ragin Cajuns and fans. Yes, it's game week and there's a tremendous uptick in the needling of fans, on both sides, but there's really no hatred at all. Most fans aren't even really familiar with the Southall basketball stuff. Most chuckle and needle UL fans and UL fans chuckle and needle WKU fans about Petrino, our mascot, etc. but I've found most of it is harmless poking at the bear kind of message board fodder. If there were true hatred between the two fanbases, it'd be more like the incessant WKU/MTSU antics....which are annoying, aggrevating, futile, stupid, infantile, etc.

Now, there are at least one or two fans from each of the two schools that have shown their backsides but then again, those guys show their backsides all the time, regardless of topic.
