I'm pretty sure i'll be in the minority on this issue, but it has to be said. The GBFTL has no business playing songs that stem from the saints. I nearly threw up in the stadium saturday night.

But i can live with this if they are only going to do it for the vandy game because it was in an NFL city and most of the people there are titans fans, but it still doesn't sit right with me. I don't know if they played it in atlanta or not. I will be pissed off if i hear this shite in TS.

You tiger stadium purists who don't like piped in music should not support copying off of the saints because they had a good year.



bring on the bashing

I've heard 2 high school bands play it. I don't really care for it, but it doesn't concern me very much

I'm a traditional guy and wish they'd do away with "neck" and "crunk", which automatically makes me a closed-minded, intolerant grandpa, according to some. Of course, most of these same people probably couldn't name who wrote "Fight For LSU" without looking it up, either.

I just happen to prefer the style of the GBFTL over that of the SU band, and don't care for when they do an imitation. Just my personal preference.

But I'll live either way.

if it wasn't "rap music" would anyone have an issue with it? It's a song relevant to sports as the true name is "halftime". I really don't care what they play as long as they sound good doing it.

LSU=frustrating

You're not in the minority. To be honest, I marginally care for it with the Saints.

But it fits the Saints because you have Drew Brees, Reggie Bush, Pierre Thomas, Shockey, Henderson, etc. all making plays and putting a lot of points on the board.

To see LSU's anemic offense barely get to field goal range or if they're lucky get a td, and then to hear that song and/or Neck is an absolute joke.

And don't get me started on the student section chanting "you suck" to Louisiana Tech when we're barely beating them by 3 points and lucky to be doing so. Hello pot, meet kettle.

The song is 4 years old and is only relevant in 2010 because of the Saints. To use this for LSU football is a bit unoriginal and, perhaps, some are trying to tie the recent successes of the Saints to LSU.

FWIW, I've learned that the GBFTL is playing a Saints game later this year and will perform this. So it has become part of the set list.

I personally don't like it, but it's a COLLEGE football game, played by 18-23 year olds. If that's what they like or what gets the students up then i have no problem with it.

I don't see why ownership needs to be taken between Saints/LSU. That attitude, among other things, is why this state can't seem to make progress, everyone fights amongst themselves. Who gives a shite, LSU represents the STATE. It's not BR vs. NOLA, or LSU vs. Saints.

So, even if the Tigers are winning by 45-0 in the 4th quarter, if you hear the band playing a particular song, you will be "pissed"?

I assume you don't mean "pissed" in a good way, like being drunk.

All I know is that if I see those flag girls at half time again, I'm gonna tear some heads off of people - and I don't care WHAT is happening on the field! I hate the flag girls!

Crunk = retardation.

It has no place in TS, nor does "Neck"

As if there are not more important things to talk about than this. If that is what the band wants to play, then they can play it. As long as they get a good response from the fans, and they did in atlanta, then they really don't care what a couple people think.
