Does the "... I'm From Louisiana" Song Alienate Out of State Recruits?

Let me preface this by saying, I hate piped in music, except for this song. It gets our players and the crowd going before a big kickoff.
I just wonder if recruits from out of state at the game hear it and think that we favor in state recruits and people only from LA. I know we recruited mainly in state guys back in the day, but now we recruit Texas, Alabama, Florida and even the mid-west on occasion.
Thoughts?

No.
You play for LSU and you are from Louisiana.
It's a selling point that being a part of Louisiana i something to be celebrated.
Jennings is just as much from Louisiana as Fournette.

The out of state LSU players dance to it too, so no.

They've been playing Tiger Rag after every freaking touchdown.

It alienates people with any taste in music.
Contrast that to when they play Thunderstruck/Hells Bells/Enter Sandman/Welcome to the Jungle... Those send chills down your spine.

"I'm from Louisiana" doesn't alienate anyone. But if you call it The Boot, well, then things get a little prickly.

We had the #2 recruiting class in the country in 2014 and we were playing that song throughout 2013.
What do you think? Or were you not thinking when you made this stupid thread.

That clearly wasn't racist.

You assume that they realize the song is not about 'Pop Goes the Weezal'

The "song" if you are willing to call that music is stupid.

If thinking that hard rock classics > rap for football games makes me a racist, then give me a damn white hooded robe

Those songs are played in every NFL and college stadium, so they are played out. The B**** I'm from Louisiana is unique to LSU because it is about being from this great state. Similar to LA Saturday Night and Callin Baton Rouge.
Playing stuff like sandstorm, Thunderstruck, etc... is generic and lame.
