The fan volume level from kick off to 4th quarter was much higher back then.

No Corporates, Cheeser's or Early Departers.

No hellish Alleva inspired PIM.

TS was full of real LSU die-hards.

It could all return, but it will only happen under a new AD...…….

There was nothing as trashy as the Neck chant. People would have thought you were nuts...and they'd be right.

That's just bullshite.


There was an organized cheer after touchdowns where we called the opposing teams "a-hole, a-hole!"

Unfortunately Tiger Stadium is the equivalent of Duke Basketball.

Nope.


Went to every game from mid-80's to early 2000's.


That stadium was very empty for the first half of the 90's and 98-99.

That is why we can't play Tiger Rag anymore which is a shame because that song was a classic. The A-hole, A-hole chant started when I was a student in the early 1980s and was originally directed at the Kentucky basketball team.

My first LSU game was with my dad in 1978. I was 11 years old at the time. We parked his wagon about 200 yards behind the south end of the stadium. My dad and I rode the giant escalator up to the west upper deck. What a view. I had never seen such color in a football field.

Mike the Tiger was in his cage and no one complained about it. It was exciting thinking about winning 8 or 9 games that season. Only played 11 regular games. Fun times !

Been going since the early 80’s and most the time I was to drunk to remember. Hmmm let’s see got sober in the late 90’s and it was still a fun fricked up zoo

Tiger Stadium experience is what the person who chooses to go makes it, if you are a prude and want a family friendly (safe space) environment stay home and watch the game on TV other wise relax and keep the mindset that anything can happen

This. I went to the games from back in the 70s when I was a little kid thru the 90s when we had to give up our season tickets. The Go to hell Ole Miss cheer was the worst thing the stadium would chant. We heard cussing from drunk idiots that weren’t season ticket holders and other people would boo them for doing it. I have no problem with cussing during a game (I do it all the fricking time), but when you have the whole fan base chanting STTDB it is just trashy, imho.

Up in the nosebleeds in the 80s, the only thing my dad ever had to pipe up about was to stop blowing smoke right in the kid who has asthma's face. I didn't notice belligerence.

It is funny how people really think this a new problem LSU student section has always had a potty mouth. I went to my first game when I was 5yrs old. I was shocked at the the Go to Hell Ole Miss chant and yes it was considered profanity at the time. When that was no longer edgy, they added “eat sh## to it. There have been quit a few different “organized’ profanities coming from the student section. In 1986 or 87 the band added a little jingle to the after the touch down song and we sang Ah ha ha ha ha you sorry bast###s, you sorry Bast###” but games were being televised too much and the administration made the band take that part out so we wouldn’t look bad on TV. Anyone else remember that particular chant. It was short lived.

Nothing like the organized group cursing. Only thing I remember is sitting next to some ole drunk baws from Donoldsonville that would heckle opposing players by saying something like "hey, number 20, you suck" - from 1/2 way up, mind you.

I remember LSU playing Ole Miss back in the 80's, and while their band was doing a halftime performance, one of the baton twirlers' top started to come down. She was pulling it up, and the student section started chanting "SHOW YOUR TITS!"

Was a truly funny moment.

Question for the older Tiger Fans:
Sure, there was the"a-hole a-hole" chant during the fight song which forced the song to be modified. This was late 80s early 90s. Don't let these sanctimonious hypocrites fool you.

it was banned in the early to mid 80’s from my recollection. I know it wasn’t the 90’s.

The LSU-Tulane games were EPIC tho. Fights everywhere and people HATED each other - some related...

We are reminiscing about the glory days. Don't bring up the Curley Hallman era.

The games were better in the late 60’s, 70’s early 80’s. We have had many experiences since then that has had that atmosphere.

I smoked a joint in the student section every game I attended in the '90s...near the flagpole.

Besides a few drunks at the time, possibly me included..
nothing organized.
Go To Hell Ole Miss was #1
Occasionally and usually upon exiting the Alabama game (and only at that game) ..
get F Bama get F... and not organized or to a large scale.

...my yelling period ended..except Go to hell Ole Miss when needed


then years later the A-hole A-hole version

followed by today's version of NECK

so yes, there is a gradual increase of vulgarity...and unfortunately also in every day life..... you never would have heard those words on TV w-out the channel being taken off the air or heavily fined.

graduated in 70
