Derick E. Hingle-USA TODAY Sports

In case you didn't already know, Tyrann Mathieu's famous 'Honey Badger' nickname was created by TigerDroppings user Mike Linebacker on the Tiger Rant back in August of 2011.

This week down at the Super Bowl, Mathieu revealed that he found out about the nickname through his former LSU defensive coordinator John Chavis who was browsing the internet after the West Virginia game during the 2011 season.

I'm just here to say... Hi Coach O and Coach Bo. Don't frick up next season. RTWFU.

I’m glad he knew we thought highly of his 3rd down defense.

Les Miles posted here as "Old" but I think he got banned for incoherent rambling

Lol, +1.

They all read these things. How could you help yourself in their position? This being the most popular LSU/SEC site you know they lurk here. Wutup coach O !!’

Pretty much guarantees he was reading Tiger Droppings on third down..

Dallasgrowl•76 months

3rd and Chavis strikes again.

TwoDatBait•76 months

That explains his thirds down play calling, listening to the couch coaches on here

EulerRules•76 months

One of the greatest plays I've ever seen. Tyrann flying through the air with arms and legs extended, stripping the UK QB, landing on his feet, scooping, and scoring. Honey Badger "takes what he wants."

Jim Hawthorne's call was the best... "do you want me to tell you who it was??"

EulerRules•76 months

Unfortunately I didn't hear Hawthorne's call, because I was sitting in the South End Zone seat courtesy of a gifted ticket from my daughter's senior partner from Lexington who couldn't make the game. Kentucky fans all around me were speechless at what the Honey Badger had done.

RemyLeBeau•76 months

Too bad Les didn't read here. Or maybe he did and only believed the posters who went to bat for him.

G I Jeaux•76 months

He was trying to get tips on how to stop an opponent late in a game.

Major Dutch Schaefer•76 months

I guess he knows about "3rd and Chavis"

Blanky6715•76 months

Do not discount the power of Tigerdroppings.

TigerTatorPots•76 months

Glad he read enough to get the hell outta here in time to let us hire a real DC and ruin a the newest divisional rival at the same time. Cheers to Chief

I propose that Mike Linebacker get a lifetime TD.com PREMIUM membership for the legendary naming.

Shreveporter•76 months

LSU has had a lot of great players, but Honey Badger will always be my favorite.

I could watch this video and Tyrann Mathieu highlights all day long...

I'm pretty sure "The Hat" originated here. Rece Davis warped it into the Mad Hatter.

Mad Hatter was born after the ‘07 Florida game iirc
