I’ve noticed every video that shows the team singing the alma mater after games, O is never singing. Not trying to cause an argument but I always remember Miles singing even though being a Michigan alum. I think O should take part in the tradition instead of only the usual “Geaux Tigers” at the end of every sentence.

Sesame Street copyrighted the cookie monster version of it in March, so legally all he can do is hum.

We need to worry about a lot more things than O singing the alma mater

Every player in the video is singing so I’d say the majority do.

If you think every player knows every word then you are delusional.

Lol I’m not saying it’s going to help us to win games, but if he loves LSU as much as he says, singing the alma mater shouldn’t be a problem for him.

I graduated from LSU in 91 and had season tix for 25 years. Never knew the words except for "Forever L S U".

I'm not trying to be a douche and bash O (this time at least), but this honestly says a lot about where his head is at.

He's clearly not committed to the program if he can't even site the Alma Mater with his team. Even if you're not an Alum, you are a representative of the school and of the student athletes you coach. Not singing the Alma Mater makes it look like he's just there for a paycheck.

I'd rather O concentrate on other things right now

O will not be around long enough for him to invest the considerable time it would take for him to learn it.

wtf videos have you been watching? I film it every week from the field and it's typically only the seniors and/or team leaders who know it. The vast majority do not. Including Coach O.

We got a bunch of watchmaking idiots on here worried about O singing the alma mater. Wonder if he wipes once or twice?

Wonder if y'all's favorite Nicky boy sings it?

I could give a crap about whether or not he sings or doesn't. He might be like me and can't sing.

Y'all need to keep finding something to bitch about.

Les Miles started that "tradition" of singing the Alma Mater after the game in front of the student section.
