Oh-we-oh and Neck are back


Yes I said I have gone to the games since the 70s. The Florida State game was in the early 80s. Death Valley was posted in the stadium at least since the early 80s I think. I have been going 35 years so I have no idea what year they first put "Death Valley" on the West Side. When I first went to games there was no upper deck so it is likely "Death Valley" went up after 1979. The point is the reputation was built long before it went up.

"Death Valley" had long been associated with Tiger Stadium as far back as the 1960s.
In a song written and recorded in 1970 by Ken Hanna called "Archie Who at LSU", one of the lines in the song is "the stadium crowd came alive that night, down in Death Vall-lee...."


My Dad attended games in the 40's, 50's and 60's and he told me he never ever remembered the phrase "Deaf Valley."
Also, Tiger Stadium didn't get a reputation as a loud fearful stadium until the late 50s ANYWAY....
so why in the HELL would it have been known as "Deaf Valley", when the 'deafening' reputation of Tiger Stadium didn't really take hold until the late 50s ??????????????????????????

people that say it was Deaf Valley, really only say that cause thats what someone else told them.... there is no evidence to it anywhere.... As i said before there was a 100 page thread about it about a year ago, and people found newspaper articles from the 50s and 60s referring it as Death Valley.

"You suck" was never in the cheer until 2007...

Wrong, nothing new for you though. You suck, cocks wasn't there til 2007, but regular old you suck was there before that.

be mature about it

I hope this works out, but most college students are hardly mature.

Once there's a sizable student attendance (A&M game), I'd be willing to bet large sums of money that the students will continue to chant STTDB the very first time the band plays Neck. People have to understand how college students, particularly LSU students, operate.

so was ohweoh banned because of the you suck cocks thing or was it just the you suck part? if the latter then LOL

One would think that our students would be able to come up with more clever, less vulgar things to chant when these songs are being played. I like that the students get into it but, they can find a classier way.

Have you ever been in the LSU student section?

No sir. I have not.

We need to bring back tiger rag. That song is so much more meaningful to the tradition of LSU than oh we oh and neck.
