re: I have a question for LSU students out there...

It would be a lot more fun if we could all hear the full version of Tiger Rag after a touchdown.

You do realize that it would take 2 minutes for LSU to kick the PAT after scoring if this was the case.

Too long IMO

BTW, I was a student in the early 80s and sat in the student section with my fellow students in the rain while we got our butts kicked by Tulane. How dare you assholes walk out of a game or cry about the behavior of the student section.

I hope you moved to the West Coast prior to 1990. TS was pretty dead between 1990-2000 with the exception of a few huge games.

I still say UGA 2003 was the craziest I've ever seen TS. Florida 2007 was a close second.

1997 game against Florida!! Still probably the most exciting one I've had the chance to see in person

Based on what I've read here, I fall into the old fart category, but this stuff still appeals to my apparently less refined sense of humor.

I still don't get the Rat Shite one though, what the hell ryhmes with knot?

I'll be damned. That explains a lot, actually.

A little profanity from the student section is to be expected--they're college kids. I hope the majority have the class not to go overboard, but sometimes they do. There's no way to discipline it out of them. At least our SS has improved tremendously over when I was there in the 70's and they threw bottles and batteries at the opposing cheerleaders. Really embarrassing and bush league.

Those "cheers" a few posts above are stupid--but then again so are most football cheers. And for an admitted "old-timer" I have to say I HATED (yes I'm yelling) "Hot Boudin". To me that is the all-time stupidest cheer I've ever heard, tradition or not.

Finally, I'm kinda tired of you young whippersnappers (!) jacking with us old timers about leaving early. I'm 53, and I stay every minute, and leave every LSU game hoarse and with sore feet. I'm on my feet screaming at the refs like a banshee. I don't cuss (except "bullshite!") I choke up at the national anthem and alma mater. And I love being in Tiger Stadium with the students--nothing like it in the world!

I once yelled "frick you Tebow" during a game. Some old dude told me that he would get me kicked out and that there were women and children around. I laughed at him as he was telling me this and told him to look at the women next to me, who was yelling "frick you" and flippin off Florida as the stepped on the eye. I'm not saying that what I did was right or wrong, but some people are way to up tight at a football game of all places.

I hate tattle tales too. I mean The way they think is that you're not allowed to get emotionally involved in the game.

Forgive me if my emotions get too high, and i might let a cuss word slip out.

1. The current student section is the only reason TS has kept its reputation as a scary place to play

2. TS is NOT a classy place it is NOT a family environment it is a COLLEGE stadium known for being rowdy and disrespectful. If you took your family to a college bar would you expect everyone to suddenly act respectful and polite?

3. If you go to a game at TS and you are "true" fans but can't even stand up during the 4th quarter of the Alabama or Florida game then seriously GTFO.

4.Whether its Western Kentucky or Alabama get to the stadium for Callin' Baton Rouge and stay for the Alma Mater it means alot to our players who bust their arse for our entertainment the least we can do is show some respect at the end of the game instead of sprinting to your car as soon as we are a touchdown up.
