did i? our state anthem couldn't join our national anthem and our alma mater as part of our pregame ritual? you think about it.

you're arguing for a song that literally has NOTHING to do with the event you're seeing. and you're saying that it pumps you up. it also has nothing to do with anything physical or dominating or impressive or victorious. Like "We Will Rock You" old school. Or modern day hype music.

it's a sad song about missing a girl that you slept with. But it says Louisiana…

we even picked the wrong country star. isn't Tim McGraw at least an LSU fan?

So that means west Virginia should stop singing "country roads" because it's not about football?

The song is, on its surface, about a girl in Baton Rouge that the trucker is in love with. Several have indicated that the trucker 'just slept with her' and then hit the road. For all we know the girl is his wife. That being said, the song also has a metaphorical undertone about the trucker being in love with the city of Baton Rouge.

LSU and Baton Rouge are virtually synonymous. It is almost impossible to think of one without thinking of the other. Additionally, the song is upbeat and fun to sing.

It's not an old tradition, but there is no reason to throw shade on it.
