re: The origin of STTDB

I remember STTDNick vividly. I think it evolved from there.

And it started as just STTD. The B came later. And it wasnt that popular at first.

Maybe the Darlene from Roseanne chick from the LSU basketball game should get partial credit for adding the “bitch” part.

Southern Band taught LSU Neck after the Joint National Championship Parade. SU won the Black College Naty the year LSU won the Naty. So it had to start sometime after that. The next Season LSU played the song at their games.

I don’t remember Neck being played until 07. And it was a few years later that STTDB was added

This lined up with 2003

Yeah guy. Neck was played in TS in 04. But not the STTDB chant haha.

I know a guy whose brother was in the group of front row students that started the second down dance in the 90s. It’s sadly been altered a little bit with new batches students that it doesn’t resemble it’s original glory.

Band Playing Neck in 2008

They played it once or twice late in the 2006 season and then for the Arkansas road game they played it like once every 30 seconds for the entire game as LSU fans completely took over War Memorial Stadium. It became part of the team's identity and lore that day and has been played regularly since.

I know I am an old fart, but I think the fans were better back in the day when they didn’t have to resort to vulgarities.

I am older than dirt and I agree.

We had fun - we had fun we could share with our great-grandchildren (I know this - I do this)

We had fun that is timeless - and it was real fun - requiring some degree of intelligence and observations of illogical amusing occurrences.

Today, there seems to be a race to the bottom - to see who can cram in the most f-words into an otherwise totally insignificant utterance. There is no humor there - unless you like making fun of ugliness and creating the ugliness to make fun of.

it is weak mentally - it is abhorrent morally - it is self-destructive

for the latter conclusion - just look at the latest craze = the nullification of biology just for the uglinesss it creates - no other reason - gives them a reason to make themselves 'think' they are 'thinking' 'deep thoughts' - all circular reasoning that is the equivalent of what used to be our making fun of philosophers who argued over how many angels could dance on the head of a pin.

And you could relate that nonsense to any age kid you wanted without losing your man-card or stooping to gutter vulgarity.

oh - and to all you nihilists = go fukc yourselves
