If Garth had titled the song "Calling Lafayette", we all would be the better for it.

The screaming crowd overlay added to the song is kinda cringe when the stadium is half empty in the 4th quarter


The version used was literally recorded at one of his concerts at the PMAC in April 1998. It's on his Double Live album.

I remember a game my youngest son and I went to (my son was probably around 12, he is now an LSU graduate) and Jim Peterik of Survivor who co-wrote the song Eye of the Tiger performed it at halftime with TGBFTL. It was really good.

Variety is the spice of life. When im in Louisiana, I want to experience Louisiana. If I'm in Nebraska, I want to see corn and overalls

It has got to be pretty hard to do stadium music for LSU or any other southern university.


Or, and hear me out, we could not do stadium music and let the band play.

What happened to Louisiana Saturday Night?

Growing up prior to 4th qtr was always “Hey Fighting Tigers” accompanied by TGBFTL. I miss that too.

I would also LOVE Born on the Bayou.

I like the song. My wife and daughters certainly do.

But Florida has us beat with Tom Petty.

Cons: It is a terrible hillbilly sounding song; not a fan of Garth or his emo alter ego

Pros:

He also did his other big hit, Vehicle, that he wrote with Ides of March. Hearing that with the band playing the horns was awesome.
