Super sports fans are like nobody else. They cheer their favorite teams on through championship seasons and disappointing ones. If they have the time and the means, these people will travel across country to support their teams. Nowhere is this truer than in the South, where Friday night football is a religious experience for many. Louisiana State University alumni and those currently enrolled at the institution are no different. That is one of the reasons that LSU items of memorabilia are so highly sought after.

Everybody knows somebody who will stop whatever they are doing to watch the big game. Some have gone so far as to dedicate an entire room in their homes for the sole purpose of recreating their college years. They buy old stadium seats and have them refurbished with logos and team colors. Many individuals go to great expense buying huge televisions and installing elaborate sound systems in order to better enjoy the games.

If you are a big fan of Louisiana State athletics, but don't have the budget to customize a home theater, there are plenty of other items you can purchase to remind you of your favorite star. Shaquille O'Neal is one of LSU's most famous athletes. His name is familiar to most people whether they are basketball fans or not. You can buy signed photographs of this legend showing him at work on the court.

Football is far and away the most popular sport in the South, and Billy Cannon is still one of the college's most beloved sportsmen. The Heisman trophy winner was consistently voted player of the year and was inducted into the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame and the National College Football Hall of Fame. You can purchase a mini helmet or photograph of a sports legend for your collection.

The signatures of other talented athletes is sought after as well. Most Louisiana sports enthusiasts would love to own a photo of Odell Beckman or Patrick Peterson in one of their signature moves. The most popular pictures of course, have been taken while they are on their way to a winning touchdown or celebrating in the end zone.

Signed footballs, helmets, and other pieces of equipment, are for sale in sports stores and online, but they are not as plentiful as the photos. Jerseys that were actually worn by famous sports figures are rare, and when they do come on the market, often sell for thousands and thousands of dollars. Even signed jerseys are hard to find sometimes, and can be quite expensive.

People who have purchased valuable sports memorabilia should find out the best way to preserve it and keep its integrity intact. Framed photographs are already protected as long as the glass is non-reflective. When you buy a helmet, a ball, or a jersey, a protective case does not usually come with it. You can purchase this item separately, and it is important that you do so.

For dedicated sports fans, there is nothing better than watching their favorite players make touchdowns, dunk balls, or score home runs. Most of them also love owning a little piece of sports and college history.
