One of my first memories of Tiger Stadium was the band playing Tiger Rag and the fans, loudly, chanting HA HA HA HA HA and pointing towards the visiting section and hollering a-hole! a-hole!

This was 1982.


Exactly, Tiger Rag was banned before just about every single student was even in highschool.

I blame Tiger Rag getting banned on Saban.

Ya, I remember those days decades ago when we toasted the other team with milk while the band played Neck and O E O.



And as someone else said, Tiger Rag was "ruined" in the 80s.

18-21 for the most part. And I guess you were never that age.

I think you are the one that needs to grow up.

STTDB might be the lamest chant I have ever heard. At least come up with something creative.

In 1973, students put a sign on Johnston hall that said the tide was a menstrual flow. So things haven't changed.

University police took it down

Yeah...Tiger Rag has been banned since Saban was here. That's well over a decade ago. Before that, if I'm not mistaken, at least part of it was played after a TD, right? That's when I remember doing it...after a score...and the band would continue playing one long sustained note as they readied for kick off and would play the final note as the kicker kicked the ball.

Seem right? It's been a LONG time.

You students and guys in your 20's can't seem to grasp one simple thing: YES, when we were students, we DID shout out a few off-color cheers and some choice yells at the refs after bad calls ("bullshite..bullshite"), but Jesus Christ we didn't screech "a-hole! a-hole!" Or "Suck that tiger dick bitch!" so the WORLD could hear! What in the hell does that prove???, that you can 'get away with it?'
Can't you have fun WITHOUT making LSU look like Hooterville or Hicksville ????
By the way, an LSU alumnus class of 1989 is not ""OLD"".

Yup, and they quit doing that after the 06 season I believe. Could be sooner but I know for sure they didnt do it in 07.

so yelling Go to Hell Ole Miss or Piss on Ole Miss in 1973 was OK.. yeah it was


If we had dates and or if we weren't drunk, we never would have yelled STTDB

Funny though

This just is not true, Metry. That has been a part of Tiger Rag since AT LEAST 1982. Before that someone else would have to answer.

C'mon...

Congrats for being part of the problem

I really feel bad for you older guys that have to go through life hating everything in society right now and wishing everything was back the way it was in your "prime".

You are the type of LSU fan I wish would stay home. If you are going to spend time complaining and whining about other fans, why are you even going to the games?

like it was in the recent past.


Exactly. Your time as a student was up 10+ years ago. Stop trying to police a student body because "my student section was better than yours".

If you'd like to "improve" the student section, I will gladly upgrade a student ticket for you, unless sitting in your normal, half-empty 35 yd. line section is too good to pass up.

That is true.

It was really prominent in the Deaf Dome.

Um...your section on average was 58% full last year...so don't cast stones. Try filling your section first.

It was not quiet. In fact the atmosphere was much more intimidating than it is now and for most if not all the games.

Now the atmosphere is only really great for the biggest games.

However, the games were not all on TV, and the football was not so much part of the entertainment world as it is now.

I am much more embarrassed by what the older fans do than anything the students do.
