3) Students need to get over themselves - One of the few advantages the stadium experience has over watching television is crowd interaction. The symbiotic relationship between the band and the crowd is what makes LSU special. If you make up vulgar lyrics to band songs, the songs stop and the interaction stops. Right, wrong or indifferent....that's just the way it is. Less interaction makes for a less enjoyable experience.


Goes along with some of the other threads about it but I agree. The students are supposed to be the heart of TS. They are supposed to lead the crowd (i.e. "L-S-U chant right after UGA's 90+ yard TD late in the 4th in 2003. Got the place right back up and rocking). They can do this with the traditional slightly vulgar "assholes" chants or "kick their arse". People across the stadium can and will even participate in that and those chants are not shoehorned into every little song that is played. But when you start stupid chants like STTDB, you are alienating yourself from the rest of the fanbase who now sees you as the immature, drunk, teenage cousin at a rehearsal dinner who just made a curse toast because bad words are funny.
