Well, close enough. LSU is in Baton Rouge, about 40 minutes NW of New Orleans (can we say 'I'll be going to mardi gras?'). It's right near Texas. Not too far, atleast relative to Tennessee.
As for the Titans, well, they use to be the Houston Oilers, then they moved to Nashville, Tennessee a few years back and started winning. I don't really know how people from Houston feel about that, but they now have the Texans to cheer for, so maybe it's all behind them now.
