A coot is a small flightless bird.

A tater is a potato.

It comes from Clemson being an agriculture school, and a play on the IPTAY foundation. Which stands for I Pay Ten a Year or some shite like that I can't remember. Well SC fans changed it to "I Plant Taters All year".

I'm going off memory here but I'm pretty sure this is where it derived from.

I have no earthly idea where Clemson got coots from. Seems like "cocks" would give them enough ammo, but hey. Clemson.

Sounds like AU fans and corndogs..... I guess Clemson fans are just prissy barners.

I've always enjoyed being called a "tater". Makes the gamecock fanbase look that much more redneck.

And a coot is a useless, pathetic flightless bird. I've always just used the ammo they already gave us like cocks and chickens..not to mention cluckers and dirtpeckers.

Only things I've heard LSU called are corn dogs and LSwho. Don't know anymore.

i'm fairly certain that because there were many who could not pay ten dollars, so in the beginnings of the organization, they barted potatoes for membership
