Corndogs = Carnies, white trash, trailor park cajuns, etc. This insult derives from the Big 12.


Not sure exactly when/how it started, but the Texas/OU game is played at the Texas State Fair Grounds, so I've heard Texas fans make jokes about the Sooners coming down for the corndogs (presumably attempting the carnie/white trash joke). Kind of morphed over. I guess Huskers got mixed in because of the corn crop, but I think it was also a subtle joke about their whole state turning out for games and turning the parking lot into a state fair. Something like that.

Never heard it in association w/ LSU until the Auburn fan stole it, and hadn't seen it before I saw it here.
