Origin of Ole Miss cheer

Goes back to at least the 1960s. In the 1970s, it was chanted after virtually every home game preceding the Ole Miss game. I assume it was the same in the 60s at least.

BTW, I live in Mississippi, and I enjoy living here.

Great article!

It was 1966 or 67 when we were playing Ole Miss. I was 6 or 7 and I remember watching Ole Miss come out of their tunnel and LSU fans were leaning over the tunnel and spitting on the Ole Miss players. That's when I knew that Ole Miss was EVIL INCARNATE. I remember many of our great games against them. I hated and feared Archie Who. Then I loved him as the Saints QB.
I went to the CAnnon Halloween game in utero.

GEAUX TO HELL , OLE MISS, GEAUX TO HELL.

Iremember non LSU , non Ole Miss fans asking me why did we say GTH OM GTH at games when we weren't even playing Ole Miss. I'd just tell em that it just seemed like the right thing to do.

Goes back at least to the middle 50's. I had season tickets for 20 years during that time.

In the movie Ole War Skule, Paul Dietzel talks about Ole Miss dropping leaflets from a bomber plane in the 50's that all fell from the sky saying "Go to hell LSU".
