You suck was yelled for a long time before the USC game with no administration backlash fwiw.


What's happened here is some bluehaired puritan has got the ear of someone in the administration. Maybe a bluehaired puritan high up in state government or one who writes big checks.

Posted this in another thread but I'll put it here as well:

The students are supposed to be the heart of TS. They are supposed to lead the crowd (i.e. "L-S-U chant right after UGA's 90+ yard TD late in the 4th in 2003. Got the place right back up and rocking). They can do this with the traditional slightly vulgar "assholes" chants or "kick their arse". People across the stadium can and will even participate in that and those chants are not shoehorned into every little song that is played. But when you start stupid chants like STTDB, you are alienating yourself from the rest of the fanbase who now sees you as the immature, drunk, teenage cousin at a rehearsal dinner who just made a curse toast because bad words are funny.

Cool. Let me know when the dumbfrick students win their prize and what the prize was.


The students sticking it to the man. Our forefathers died for their right, nay requirement, to yell STTDB. Fight the power!

I was a student. We yelled obscenities and thought it was funny... 18-22yo immature, drunk mob mentality. I loved every minute of it.

The main difference was that we were hardly ever on TV when I was a student. CBS can't have STTDB blasting over their airwaves.

To my understanding, NCAA fines the TAF large sums of money every time the students chant STTDB and it gets on Natl TV. You can't stop the students but you sure as hell can stop the songs with a flick of the finger to Roy King. So yes, eventually Tiger Band will play nothing but no-name Latin music and clusterfrick arrangements like Blame it on the Boogie.

You'd think someone in the band's administration would've realized this by now and given the go-ahead to play "Neck" et. al. since, even with the chant, they really add atmosphere to the games.


It's not the band's administration, it's TAF.
