One of the most perplexing traditions dutifully carried on by students around the SEC is the perpetuation of the myth that LSU fans smell like corndogs. Some suspect this began years ago when some confused fans in Alabama misapplied an insult normally reserved for fans of teams in states more famous for growing corn, like Nebraska. In any case, LSU Tigers fans don't find it funny at all: they keep their real-live tiger in a cage parked by the opponents' locker room on game days.

Actually, it's nice to know where the corndog thing came from. Wasn't it some stupid Auburn fan who started it? Typical Alabama resident, doesn't know a corndog from sausage on a stick!!

My impression is that it slams the IQ of Alabama.

I read the article and "SEC traditions" part. I'm not even sure how the LSU thing is relevant to her article. She talks about Auburn fraternities then her side bar talks about MSU's cowbells, Auburns War Eagle chant, and Arkansas calling the hogs. She must be an Auburn fan.
