Corn dog thing...

Hey guys, big UNC fan here and I'm extremely pumped about the game, should be a good one.
So, I was curious, why do LSU fans have the reputation of smelling like corn dogs? I'm really puzzled by this and hope that you guys can shed some light on this subject.

In an attempt to make a comeback for being called gumps, the gumps made the corn dog analogy famous.
I think we smell more like gumbo and bourbon than fried carnival food.

the nick name was first applied to Nebraska or some such, then some Auburn or Bama fans, applied it to us, I think it means country hick, like at the county fair, eating corn dogs.

To sum it up:
PART ONE:
Nebraska fans were called corndogs by Big 12 foes because they are the cornhuskers. Makes sense, I guess.
PART TWO:
Auburn fan proclaims LSU fans smell like corndogs, It's an obvious case of plagiarism. If an opponent has the same mascot as you (see: Auburn Tigers and LSU Tigers) you can't really make fun of tigers. What's an unimaginative Auburn fan to do? Steal some random insult from other passionate college football fanbase.
Over the years some people have reasoned that Auburn fans (and now other less intelligent fanbases including Alabama, UGA, Florida, etc.) call us corndogs because of all the fried food we cook at tailgates. This is a spin put on the obvious lack of imagination this insult was born from. Anybody who has been to LSU during a tailgate realizes quite quickly that most food is grilled or prepared in other ways more frequently than fried.
This is all really funny because most LSU fans now embrace the corndog name because that insult(?) shows, more than anything, how lame Aurburn fans really are. Being called a corndog is now a badge of honor. There are worse things to be. How would you like to be a Gump or Bammer?
Finally I present to all LSU now schooled in the history of the "LSU Fans Smell Like Corndogs" the original blog that started the whole "corndog thing".

Actually it was an Auburn fan and he stole the term from Nebraska fans. It's just further shows how unoriginal Auburn is.
It really does not fit LSU fans at all, and when if you come to Atlanta you will get a glimpse of how we party on the Bayou.

Yeah I've read that story but I really thought there may be more to it than that.
Hope you guys are ready for Sept. 4th. I can barely contain myself.

I think you mean it always smells like bourbon, especially the night games.
Those dumbass Auburn Barn Owls started that corndog stuff.

Give us your prediction.

I think it's gonna be somewhere along the lines of 20-17 or 20-14 LSU, but I do think it could go either way. A defensive touchdown late in the game will be the difference I think.

glad to have a UNC fan here welcome

I think a big special teams play may be the difference. I with you though, can't freaking wait.

No, Auburn fans really are that shallow.

Haha rschin I don't think either offense is good enough to stomp the other. Gonna be a grueling battle of defenses.
FWIW:
Offense: edge LSU
Defense: edge UNC
