This is one of those terrible things that stuck.

A fan of one of Nebraska's rivals (probably Oklahoma, but maybe Colorado) - wrote this tripe about Nebraska and it circulated - I think I saw it in the very, very early days of the "internet".

Well, it wasn't funny (I think Paige's link is to the correct text) - as you can tell. Anyway, one of Auburn's "special" fans, thought it was funny. And thought it was so funny that he just replaced "Nebraska" with "LSU" and "Lincoln, Nebraska" with "Baton Rouge, Louisiana" - making it even less funny - after all, WTF do we have to do with corn or corndogs? Now - I'll admit that Louisiana grows a decent amount of corn, but it's certainly not something we're known for.

I mean, he could have replaced corndog with, "Gator shite", crawfish boil, bourbon, swamp gas - ANY fricking thing that might make you think about LSU and/or Baton Rouge.

But, nope - he stuck with the corndog. And it's been amazingly unfunny, yet persistent for at least 10 to 12 years now (heck, maybe more).

I'm not mad. It's just not funny.

This.

I have actually embraced it. I haven't a clue why any one would get upset about it.

I shouldn't be annoyed by it, but it just annoys me that people can be that stupid. Where they take an article written by an Oklahoma fan, referring to the Nebraska CORNHuskers, and replace Nebraska with LSU, and somehow it's seen as the funniest thing of all time, and almost a universal truth (Any person with a brain knows it isn't.).

Seriously, Auburn fans are idiots. My faith in humanity slid down a few notches after that.
