So I've always wondered and never knew...what's the story behind calling LSU fans "corn dogs"?

This is the rant and someone will probably say "germans" or whatever but for those who dont feel like bashing me...please explain.

the nick name was first applied to Nebraska or some such, then some Auburn or Bama fans, applied it to us, I think it means country hick, like at the county fair, eating corn dogs.

Never understood it either..corndogs are a good snack when at the fair, with a funnel cake. Atleast call us a food no one cares for..maybe asparagus?

I agree.


To sum it up:
PART ONE:
Nebraska fans were called corndogs by Big 12 foes because they are the cornhuskers. Makes sense, I guess.

PART TWO:
Auburn fan proclaims LSU fans smell like corndogs, It's an obvious case of plagiarism. If an opponent has the same mascot as you (see: Auburn Tigers and LSU Tigers) you can't really make fun of tigers. What's an unimaginative Auburn fan to do? Steal some random insult from other passionate college football fanbase.


Over the years some people have reasoned that Auburn fans (and now other less intelligent fanbases including Alabama, UGA, Florida, etc.) call us corndogs because of all the fried food we cook at tailgates. This is a spin put on the obvious lack of imagination this insult was born from. Anybody who has been to LSU during a tailgate realizes quite quickly that most food is grilled or prepared in other ways more frequently than fried.

This is all really funny because most LSU fans now embrace the corndog name because that insult(?) shows, more than anything, how lame Aurburn fans really are. Being called a corndog is now a badge of honor. There are worse things to be. How would you like to be a Gump or Bammer?

Finally I present to all LSU now schooled in the history of the "LSU Fans Smell Like Corndogs" the original blog that started the whole "corndog thing".

While it is repetative, we must educate the newer Tiger fans to our tradition of embracing the idiocy of fans of other SEC schools.

*no offense to you idiots that are fans of other SEC schools

I would hope people across the country thought we smell like crawfish. They stink coming out the mud. but people are dumb.

And corndogs are the shite, fwiw.

They are all so busy trying to sniff our arse out of jealousy that they mistake the smell of shite for that of corndog. Maybe when you are on your knees our asses smell like corndog?

I agree, but the story must be passed on to the younger generation.

There really needs to be a permanent link on TD.com's homepage, but untill there is these threads will pop-up every once in a while.
