i agree with much of that. but i went to LSU in another decade and pretty much think we were better students then so my opinion isn't really valued by the young 'uns.


Every generation thinks this about themselves. The school has been more tough on the student section since 2007 when they started the 'Gamecocks' chant and CBS wasn't able to edit it on live tv. I was at LSU during this time, and remember the band not being able to play certain songs because of vulgarity. I feel like ever since this event the student section has never really recovered and gotten cool with the band if you will.

Blame it on whoever you want, but the entire student section is not to blame.

Edit: It got so bad late in the 2007 season, that Les even pleaded with the students to not blame the band for missing chants. It helped but not a lot.

that last part's a shame. the symbiotic relationship btwn the SS and band was one of my favorite parts about being in the SS during games.
