Welcome to Bellu on the Bayou, where I’m your host, Michael Bellu.
Bellu on the Bayou is a weekly podcast that will focus on Louisiana State University fan reactions and student-athletes.
I will mainly interview past and present LSU student-athletes to gain a unique perspective of both sides of being a Tigers fan.
The unique part of being a student-athlete is being a student and an athlete, where one season you are a fan and the other you have fans.
The fan experience is something that sets college sports apart from professional leagues, and it is something a person must experience firsthand to understand it fully.
