Why are we called "Corndogs"???? I don't get it.

I don't get it either. I love corndogs.

A UGA dude threw one at me last night and I ate it.

I ate one last night

I know when you go to Baton Rouge, you're thinking: "Ahhhh. Here I am in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I'll bet the people here smell just like boiled crawfish or shrimp etoufe' or some fancy Cajun food." But just stop thinking that. That's just a myth. They smell just like corn dogs.

LSU fans smell just like corn dogs.

Yes, it is often said, but so, so true.

LSU fans do smell like corn dogs.

I would never tell them that to their face though. This is something better said at Internet distances. Even now, I am afraid.

corndogs were originally called gruausaucisse (Cajun for gritssausage.) Acadian children mispronounced saucisse as chien(dog) and gruauchien was adopted.

Les Acadians brought the sausage from Canada (mid 1700's) and the Louisiana native Americans introduced them to corn and grits.

It was during a friendly scrimmage in 1760 btw the futball loving les Acadians and the Lacrosse loving Attackapas Tribe (possibly the first true American Style Football Game (lasting two days.)

at this first football (w/ passing) that the combination of grits and sausage first came together. It was just an easier way for both fans to enjoy their concessions. the sausage was dropped into the boiling grits and out came the gruauchien. they used real tree stick for sticks(fr- coller!).

This field of play is now across the road from the original campus of lsu in central Louisiana. it is the ten acre field now occupied by the vetrans administration hospital in Pineville.

gruauchien were a combination of Acadian and Native American cuisine artistry of the 1700's.

texas was the first state to steal the combination and call them corndogs b/c they couldn't speak French/acadian.
then it spread to the rest of the uneducated world and a lot of lsu fans just gave up the name gruauchien b/c the rest of the world was too dumb to get it.

gruauchien were the first concessions sold at the early lsu games. it was not until the 70's that gruaualligator became popular.

historical statistics lead to the conclusion that the game ended in a tie because both teams forgot to hire a scorer.

The beauty of the 'insult' is that it is senseless, therefore impossible to rationally oppose.

I got the corn dog treatment at Music Midtown last week. Me, "no, that smell is boudin".

Since the auburn fans were ignorant to boudin, it quieted them up.

It's not my fault they don't know the diff between the aroma of corn dogs & boudin.

What is a corndog?
