The ULM athletics department has enough on its plate. Having students jump ship on game day shouldn’t be another issue it faces.
Countless students swapped to the purple and gold last season when ULM faced LSU. That color-changing trend is on the horizon again this year with games at Texas and Alabama. Some students would rather take pride in cheering against their own school and the athletes who they share a classroom with by taking the side of college football blue bloods.
Support the team you want to, but yelling “roll tide” or giving a “horns up” to ULM feels like giving a middle finger to the school you shamefully attend.
