I've seen some people on Ole Miss boards mention that after the name "Ole Miss" started being used in the early 1900s that some LSU fans started calling your school "Ole Lou" for a short time period. Has anyone else ever heard of this? And this is a serious question, if there's any chance some of you could take this the wrong way.

I was born a bit after the early 1900s, but I never heard that term used.

I have heard of LSU being referred to as "Ole Lou" before. But I don't remember enough about it to expand on that.

I'm not quite old enough to remember the early 1900's. I've never heard "Ole Lou"; closest I've heard is "Ole War Skule".

I'm only old enough to know LSWho? and about Corn Dogs glad Ole Lou did not catch on.

Never heard that. Don't believe it. Although, as stupid as it is, it does sound like something an OM fan would come up with, thinking they're clever.

Don't know if LSU has ever been referred to as "Ole Lou", but I can pretty much guarantee that if it did happen, whoever started got the hell beat out of him.

LSU was called Ole Lou before Missipeepee started calling itself Ole Miss.

Never heard of it, but I bet ULL would jump on that in a minute given the chance.
