After a score, the band plays and we spell out "T-I-G-E-R-S (pause) Tigers"! I remember in the 90's when I was there, they didn't say "Tigers" until after the XP. Am I correct?

With David, the XP is simply taken for granted, now

You're right. Indeed, everything gets accelerated. The crowd can't wait and time their T-I-G-E-R-S with the band. After about the "E" they thunder ahead.

I remember when I was younger that people would actually yell things out during the songs when they were supposed to. Now everyone (especially the student section) just seems to yell out everything as fast as they can. Is it just that nobody cares or that each game is the worlds largest gathering of people with no rythem?

I miss the part of the song where we would laugh at the other team, ("Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha.")
When I was in school (late 80's) we started yelling, "Assholes, Assholes" after the laughter part and the Admin. made the band stopped playing that part because it could easily be heard on TV.

That's not my recollection. As long as I can remember, the "Tigers!" part has come at the same time, regardless of whether it was after a touchdown or any other time the band was playing Tiger Rag.
The only difference between now and back then, and this really happened in the late '80s, was not playing the part where everyone said "ha ha ha ha ha" and then "assholes assholes" because the admin was too stupid and paranoid to simply let a tired juvenile joke get old on its own and fade away, but instead ruined a perfectly good part of the touchdown celebration (the "ha ha ha ha ha" was great) because some old geezer didn't want his wife hearing the word "a-hole" (probably because he had managed to conceal from her for their 50 years of marriage the fact that he WAS one, and didn't want her catching on to him).

The worst was when the student section would rattle their keys no matter who scored or what the score was. Do they still do that?
Also, do they still throw water bottles in the air after a score?
Two stupid "traditions."

Try extra large cups of bourbon and coke. When LSU scored I would duck my head down with my hands protecting it. Good times, good times.

And after first downs we would respond to the band, Go Tigers, Go Tigers, Go Tigers, Kick their arse (instead of L-S-U). I still do that in my south endzone seats.

I was changed while I was in school during the early 80's. There were complaints about people chanting "a-hole!, a-hole!" after the "Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha". You could clearly hear it on TV, the TV people complained, and it made LSU look bad (which it did). They sped up "Touchdown LSU" and the tiger spell out was added. I think its better and classier likeit is now.

i dont even remember the "ha ha ha" thing. anyone have an audio/video clip to refresh my memory?
also the keys jingling thing does still happen on occasion, but it should happen more frequently. i mean hell if half the stadium is going to leave at halftime they should at least announce it beforehand

Yes you are. The stadium actually had rythm back then. Now it's like a runaway train. TIGERS wasn't yelled out till after the XP when the band's brass section does the little "duuuuu".

i don't remember that either

That's why they don't play the Tiger Rag anymore. I adored "Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha, a-hole! a-hole!"

And it begins with pregame. When the band marches out on the field. how hard is it for the crowd to clap with the cadence? Obviously it's very hard, because the crowd accelerates it for unknown reasons. I just stopped clapping.

There's a particular problem here because the band is far enough away from the north end of the stadium that people there clapping with the cadence, as they hear it, aren't clapping at the same time as people on the south end, who are closer, and the effect just gets more muddled as the band moves up the field. Not clapping and just listening and yelling in anticipation of the 4 Notes is the right answer. How likely is that?

yeah. its kinda stupid. i do understand the whole superreverb and the sound latency thing, but when the band just starts, you can hear teh rhythm and its ridiculously simple. do people really have no rhythm are do they not care?
its really not a big deal but it has allways irked me a bit.
