Who really has an issue with the Tiger Rag a-hole chant? That is tame by today's standards. If it's for CBS then don't play it during CBS games. Why is oh we oh not played anymore?

Neck is already badass as is. "Suck that tiger dick" ruins it. Garbage chant

The clear solution is for the LSU administration to follow the students around all day screaming STTDB in the Union, classrooms, Middleton, dorm rooms, cafeterias, Fraternities/Sororities.

This would show those darned kids.

Neck started when I was in college and was the best thing Tiger Band had going for those few years before it was banned. STTDB adds absolutely nothing to the song or experience when it's played in Tiger Stadium.

The whole "college kids will be kids let them do it" is such a lame cop out. When I was in college we had drunk stupid ppl in the student section who DIDN'T feel the need to completely change the song with pointless profanity.

Honestly I will never understand the STTDB phenomenon. That is something that I would have thought to be hilarious as a sophomore in high school, not in college. Not sure how a college aged person finds random profanity to still be funny or edgy or remotely original. It's not cool at all.

If they play a video before the game on the video screens with Jarvis/OBJ asking the fans to chant Neck as it was intended, don't you think the students and fans would largely oblige?


They took at a full page ad in 2007 about the Oweo chant. Supposedly it was a letter from Dorsey, Hester, maybe a couple of other players asking the students to refrain from chanting "you suck cock".

It didn't work then, can't see why it would work now. Though I would say the authorship of that letter was highly questionable.

In college you rebel and do things you think are funny even if stupid.that's part of the college experience. Its why in college you may be liberal and when you grow up you take more conserative approach. Letting college kids do stupid things and say no to authority is part of college experience.
The fact that old people dony remember that and lsu won't let college kids be dumb and step on fun is ridiculous

yelling a-hole during tiger rag is completely different than saying suck that tiger dick bitch.

This.
Guess everyone was to busy looking at the student section shouting STTDB to see the players doing their arms with the student section.

AlexLSUCan the Players Control the Student Section Chants?Specifically with Neck and the infamous STTD,B chant. There's obviously a disconnect between students and administration over certain songs, but the only reason we have a band, 92k seat stadium and Tigerdroppings is the football team. If they play a video before the game on the video screens with Jarvis/OBJ asking the fans to chant Neck as it was intended, don't you think the students and fans would largely oblige? The fans, players and band all like Neck, so you'd think a plea from the players may reverse the trend.




The only way that would work is if the players physically went up into the student section and childishly shrieked "STTDB" to 19 year old Chip from Mandeville and 18 year old Holly from Laplace and made them perform the act on national TV.
Even then, I don't think they'd get it.....

All it would take is a page from the 2001 Sugar Bowl where the ref brought a mic over to Saban and he asked the students to stop throwing cups onto the field. If Miles did that it would be over. Nobody has publicly asked them to stop yet so they haven't.

I say ask the players to vote to have the student section banned or at least muzzled until they complete finishing school.

A water cannon posted directly in front of the Student Section might act as a deterrent...

That's a great idea. That combined with shock collars.

Only if all female students are required to wear only white tshirts.

In what? How many students, even in 2007, read print? Plus, reading is too difficult for some of the most obnoxious fans.

Jarvis Landry is probably the most beloved Tiger this year. Put him on the screen urging students not to act like morons during Neck and I'd be shocked if you didn't see a noticeable response.

We need to come up with an alternative chant. Something that is not vulgar but perhaps more to the point. Something making fun of Alleva and his French major or playing football at Lehigh.

Add in that the students shouldn't drink before games and should stay the entire game! Maybe throw in that school is important too. I think we're on to something here.......

I want them to play it and some of the immature and unfunny students keep this from happening.

As a non-student, it is none of my business what students choose to say during their school event. It is between them and their university. As an alumnus, I have no problem knowing my place as a guest at their event and respecting their right to have fun however they please.
