Actually I started this cheer when I was a freshman. It all started that year when I picked up this really hot Florida coed.

When I was in school we would play Rice and make this cheer a lot.

What comes out of a Chinaman's arse? RICE! RICE!

Here is one from the Southeastern Band, early 1970's, that the guys in the band would do for the cheerleaders.

Two bits, four bits, six bits a buck.
C'mon cheerleaders, give us a ......CHEER!

Hot boudin is the worst cheer I've ever heard. Never make fun of Bama, Ole Miss, or Auburn again for their gay cheers if you plan on doing this one in public.

Re the Hot Boudin cheer: I have to disagree with a couple of the posters regarding the date.

In 1964, my freshman year, they gathered all the freshman in Tiger Stadium at the end of “Dog Week”. During this “pep rally - football orientation” – the cheerleaders said they wanted to teach us one brand new cheer and a new song: the cheer was the Hot Boudin cheer and the song was so lame that I cannot remember it. But they definitely said that it was the first time / year that Hot Boudin was going to be used.

I still like the cheer because it is uniquely ours.

I respectfully have to disagree. In the 70's we always pronounced it pooosh pooosh pooosh, so it rhymed with couscous.

btw, I never stopped doing the cheer.

I respectfully disagree--"Hot Boudin" is a really goofy cheer, which is probably why it has been abandoned. "Couscous" and "push" don't rhyme. And when was the last time you ate it cold?


Pretty sure it's cush cush (not couscous...the moroccan grain), the Louisiana breakfast dish made from cornmeal. It can be eaten cold like a cereal. And part of the charm is that it doesn't rhyme perfectly. That's one of the best things about it.

I was in Washington DC two years ago and went to a bar to watch LSU and MSU, we were with a bunch of older LSU gentlemen, I am 58 at the time, and they kept saying the Hot Boudin cheer after any great play. My friends wife asked me what was that cheer and I said it is something that I never understand either. Anyway she thought it was a riot.

"ETA: I think it would be awesome, because that's a cheer that no one can claim. It is a Louisiana "thing", that we could identify with. I just remember my dad saying it to me a lot and teaching it to me, when I was younger."

Here's the original version:
Hot Boudin
Cold coush coush
Allons Tigers
Poush poush poush

It's a great cheer that celebrates Louisiana's French heritage; bring it back!

Sorry it was used in 1960 during my first Tiger game. I think the new thing was the current fight song "Hey Fighting Tigers" which was introduced around that time.

Here's the recipe for anyone interested:

Coush Coush (Serves 4.)

•1/4 cup oil
•2 cups white cornmeal
•1-1/2 teaspoons salt
•1 teaspoon baking powder
•3/4 cup milk
•3/4 cup water

Heat the oil in a heavy pot or preferably a cast iron Dutch oven. Mix the dry ingredients, then add the milk and water. Pour the batter into the hot oil, and allow a crust to form on the bottom before stirring. Reduce heat to low and stir occasionally; cook for about 15 minutes. Serve in bowls with milk and sugar, like a hot cereal.

This one is a classic. One of my favorites...

We're the Krewe from LSU and we don't give a damn
We go to school to break the rules, F--- the damn exams!
To hell with Mississippi, To hell with (whoever we're playing) too...
And if you don't like the Tigers.....F--- YOU!

Ahhh. Sorry, I didn't understand this subtle sub-category of rhyming.

And if people really want to say "poosh" then we lose all cred for criticizing "soooie", "hotty toddy", "rockytop", "war eagle", and the gator chomp.

I don't know if it's too much of a stretch.

Maybe I'm just biased though, I think it gives us our own identity, but thats just me.

My mom (RIP) told me about this cheer from the 30's and 40's:

Chew tobacco, chew tobacco,
Spit it on the wall,
Tulane, Tulane,
Can't play ball
