re: OH-WEE-OH Chant Coming Back Nov. 1

I hope the students do chant "you suck." I am tired of the band and athletic department being a bunch of idiots who punish LSU fans and LSU tradition in an attempt to gain unnecessary control over LSU students.

First of all a "tradition" is not yelling "You suck" after a touchdown. That started halfway through the season, and obviously, was stopped abruptly. I think tradition is something like marching the same pre-game drill as they did 50 years ago.

It also is not unneccesary control. Do you think the band does not get media coverage? Every time the band plays something, and the students follow their lead, it gives the band an image. Quite frankly, i would care less what the Reveille says about the band as opposed to a major media outlet saying that LSU's band needs to be disbanded like "Wyoming's" band. (google it, if you don't know what im talking about).

And you can't take anything the reveille says to be true. They also quoted Rob Dowie saying "Tiger Band is sick of the student section". When in fact, Rob Dowie said, "Tiger Band is sick of having to work hard every day of the week to put together new musical performances, and then watch the university disband them because of the actions of the student section". The Reveille is garbage. And anybody who reads it is garbage.
