As opposed to "Geaux Tigers!" - which wasn't made up.

My brother started yelling it one morning before we left for a game (he rolls out of bed yelling about the Tigers on game days). I started yelling it, too, then a few games later I asked him where he heard that cheer before - and he said that he heard it first from me. Which I knew couldn't be true, because I heard it first from him.

It may have been adopted by some Tiger fans who heard some Gator fans saying it. The first time I ever heard anything like it was in probably '95 or '96 when a Gator player (I think it was Lawrence Wright) said, "If you ain't a Gator, you Gator bait". Direct and factual quote, definitely from the mid-90's.

Rooms across the hall from each other while he was in college and I was in grad school.

"Tiger Bait" itself was ripped off from "Gator Bait", right? Or is it the other way around?

That I don't know about. I've always thought "Tiger Bait" came first. When I moved here in 1990, it seemed very strange to hear Gator fans saying "Gator Bait". So at the very least, "Tiger Bait" is much more well known.
But I do believe pretty firmly that Lawrence Wright originated the whole "If you ain't a ________, you ________ bait".

Actually I started it after an argument with an AU buddy of mine. It's actually if you're not an LSU tiger you're tiger bait.
She asked how she could be tiger bait if she was a tiger, i rolled off and said, bitch "if you're not an LSU Tiger you're tiger bait."
I thought I'd add answer a silly question with some fiction of my own.
