Neck was straight ripped off from HBCUs that were/are doing it.
I don't know about the 2nd and 3rd down cheers' histories. They didn't exist when I was at LSU from '88-'93. They just showed up at some point and caught on.

I believe the "Woo" part was added in the mid to late 2000s ('05-07?) when some guy on Miles' staff who looked like Rick Flair would walk out on the field. I seem to remeber the student section doing alot of "Woo"ing when he would walk in front of them out of the tunnel and all and maybe that's how it got adopted into the cheer?

Terry Saban started the 3rd down eye of the tiger.

yeah if you you tube Neck, just about every SWAC and MEAC (I think that's the HBCU conference on the Atlantic coast) schools perfroming it. Of course La Tech and LSU picked it up. Def. has a reference to assassinating Reagan.

So just to recap my previous point:
Drunk white guys do funny dance to old funk song that puts down the greatest President of 20th century{Reagan} because they know not what they do. Of course it was stolen from HCBU's and any black guy in his late 40's or early fifties could tell you what the phrase(Talkin out da side of yo neck) means. This worship of neck is the w*gger equivalent of wearing FUBU. Guys forget about neck and get your own swagger.

I don't agree with the student section profanity, but why doesn't the rest of the stadium cheer loud...maybe it would drown the profanity out. Oh, wait a minute, half the stadium leaves at halftime when its a close game. The rest of the stadium doesn't come close to matching the student section's loudness WHATSOEVER. Maybe LSU should work on getting the rest of the stadium to cheer instead of the small group of students that chant profanities every game. LSU is far from the only school to have people chant profanities. But we are one of the few schools in the top ten whose lower section crowd leaves early even in good games like West Virginia.

I don't recall it surfacing until the mid-2000's, at least not in the post-TD/pre-kickoff medley.
I remember it from my freshman year, 2002. Whether or not before that, I don't know.

The "Oweo" beat and tuba part was played in the mid 90s. But nobody chanted "Oweo" until many years later. There used to be a "woop woop" chant that went with it. Some people used to shake keys during that part as well. It might have been cool if we were saying, "game over, get the car ready", but people were shaking keys on first quarter touchdown's as well.

It was definitely played when I was at LSU from 2000-2004.

I appreciate all the insight. Having read all this and attended more LSU away games than at Tiger stadium, there is no doubt in my mind that LSU fans travel as well as or better than any school in the nation, and the band adds a lot to the atmosphere. I live in Knoxville and go to a lot of Vol football games...they aren't very creative at all, unless you like 'ROCKY TOP' repeated 20 or 30 times a game!
