Were we the first ones to use the chant LSU LSU LSU? And when did we start using it? Seems like the first time I heard it was in The Box back in the Skip Bertman era. Did we get it from the Olympics.........USA, USA?

The reason I ask is because last year I heard Florida State use it at a football game....FSU, FSU. And the other night as Arizona State was upsetting UCLA in basketball, at the end of the game, they were chanting.....ASU, ASU.

Well, I highly doubt Auburn once chanted "LSU, LSU, LSU".

My first LSU game was in 1958 and the student section was chanting LSU, LSU, LSU all game. It happened to be Ole Miss on halloween night and Billy Cannon was off and running.

Im sure everyone does it. Its just saying the initials. No one really starts it. Its just a chant if your letters.

A little known fact-LSU invented fans cheering, as well as Tigers.
