Ok, I’m not going to lie, I asked Mom~E~Centric to help me write this because, it simply isn’t the same story without it.   The reason is because I want to put a series of events in order and she is just better than me at doing that.  So, here’s how she says it played out.

First, this was Roll Tide Country and she wasn’t relenting.  Then I came along and she agreed to cheer for the Tide all the time and LSU except for when they were playing Alabama.  We called a truce and hung a flag of each kind on our porch.  The winner of the LSU-Alabama game owned the right to fly their flag higher.

Fast forward to giving birth to a kid that runs around yelling “Go Aubren”*** and she almost lost her composure.  Now that kid wasn’t taught any of this, he simply states that he “goes for Aubren all the time and LSU unless they are playing Aubren but never for Alabama”.

And a controversy was born.  Now, since she handles most of the clothing purchases around here, the boys have all kinds of Bama gear as does she.  I have one LSU hat but that’s about to change.  You see, not only do I have bragging rights for now since LSU beat Bama a couple of weeks ago, I’m on the prowl for the perfect LSU beat Bama Tshirt. 

Not only that, I now have the opportunity to get Jace, the all-Aubren fan but willing to cheer for LSU if he needs to a cute LSU outfit.  And, get this, he is cool with that.  After the LSU-Bama game where my wife and I cheered for our respective teams from opposite sides of the country, Jace came up to me and yelled, “Go Tigers!”!  I’ll be teaching him to say GEAUX Tigers soon.

Moving right along, here’s what I was given the chance to do.  I was asked to check out the MascotWear Nation and see if I could find something I liked.  Seriously that was the easiest task I’ve been given in a long time. 

Naturally I navigated to the LSU gear first….but I want to be fair and see what other mascots look like.  But, being conscious of the fact that Jace is an “Aubren” fan but would definitely take any opportunity to bug his mother, I know I can talk him into something cool from LSU.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ok, so now I have to decide, which is the most LSU-like and which he will realistically wear.  I think that the hoodies is our best option.

This is going to be fun.  Jerri Ann gets packages all the time but she won’t be opening this one with the excitement that she grabs the others.  Ha!

Too bad…not big enough for Walker…..

If I were not a huge LSU fan and I was buying for a younger child, these make some awesome costumes…or mascot gear!

Once I had perused the whole site, I chose the LSU hoodie, size 5T and at $29.99, it’s a plain out steal.  Now, do I bite the bullet and get the other kid some more Alabama gear while I’m at it?  Maybe……Maybe not…..Oh shucks, it doesn’t come in his size…it’s going to be LSU all over this house……

The checkout process was a breeze…

I breezed through the check out process, and with great pride, I used the paypal that I know Jerri Ann will be looking at so she can see clearly that at least I bought for the kid when I bought LSU…..I’ll get my locally (ha)

 

What could be sweeter?

*** Aubren is Jace’s pronunciation, I know that’s not technically the correct spelling.
