I am not annoyed by the name, but you just expect more out of your rivals
I am annoyed at how dumb people are

the hogs and the horns should be jealous that they are not called the corn dogs

I'm chiming in a little late here... One of the reasons it has continued to be a staple of our opponents is that it clearly kind of bothers LSU fans. The number of threads posted on the Rant clearly demonstrates that fact.

We all think it is dumb. But maybe it has a better chance of going away is if we start ignoring it?

Embrace it. If it was so dumb then we wouldn't be maintaining a thread on it.

Absolutely. I think we need a dude in costume who runs around like the Milwaukee weenies or whatever. When we hit a homer, Mike can squirt mustard on him or something...

The Corndog insult is the invention of a bunch of immature college geeks to get a rise out of other immature college geeks.

The surprising thing is that it keeps working so well. LSU's immature college geeks are so gullible, they keep falling for the dumb insult.

Rule #1, which is guaranteed to work, act as if all corndog references don't exist. When the ploy fails to get a reaction, it will disappear.

The problem with Rule #1 is that it only works if you act mature and ignore the annoying insult. Is that asking too much?

Actually, we'd probably just wallow in it. We're used to being called disgusting things. I guess we kinda thrive on it. It doesn't bother me that hogs are repulsive and we do disgusting things like wallow in our own slop......Hell, we're hogs, what could we love more than a good wallow in our own sh!t 'n' slop? On the other hand, it's quite ironic that you bring up the short-horns. Now that's another farm animal......but they have no class like us mud-wallowers. We've been ridiculed so much in the past by the turd-orange that we're immune. They can't (but wish they could) get as low in the mud and slop as we do. They don't know whether to "sh!t or go blind" when it comes to understanding our level of pleasure. This is as true as our nasty butts are pork. That's probably why they're frequently spotted with one eye closed and simultaneously "breaking wind" rather loudly from any bovine orifice available! ISYN!

I always thought it was pretty funny...

quote:

LSU fans smell just like corn dogs.

Yes, it is often said, but so, so true.

LSU fans do smell like corn dogs.

I would never tell them that to their face though. This is something better said at internet
distances. Even now, I am afraid.

I am afraid that they'll know I said it. I'll walk past an LSU fan someday, and he'll see that look in my eye that gives it away. That look that says, "gee, what is that smell? Is it corn dogs?" The next thing you know, I'll have flat tires on my car.

If you only learn one thing from me today, remember not to tell LSU fans how they smell - you know, like corn dogs.

LSU fans seem, somehow, sensitive to that whole corn dog issue.

I think this may be why a lot of fans get beaten up by LSU fans. If you attend a game in Baton Rouge, try to avoid telling them that they smell like corn dogs. Say something else instead. Like, "Wow, LSU sure does have a great team this year. This is going to be a great SEC game."

It's hard. I know. That corn dog smell is just so overwhelming. It makes it hard for you to think about football or baseball or whatever else. Your brain wanders into corn dog topics like: "Gee, I wonder if I took a bite of your finger, if you would taste just like a corn dog?"; or "Is this a real person or is it a giant corn dog trying to make me think it is a real person?" or "What did that giant corn dog just say?" or "Excuse me, Mister, why is it that you smell just exactly like corn dogs smell?" or, of course, after a silencer: "Madam, did you just let the corn dogs out?"

Heck, after what I've heard about LSU fans, I think it may be better not to smell them at all. Okay, not all of them. Some of them are nice. Sure. Smell the nice ones. That's okay.

You know what else is a bad thing to do? Holding your nose around them. They are real sensitive to that, too. Try holding your breath. But don't be obvious about it. Somehow they know you're trying not to breathe in the corn dog smell. And that offends them. They'll likely punch you for that if they catch on to what you're doing.

If you do breathe it in long enough, though, it'll permeate your whole body, and then you'll smell like a corn dog just like they do. But don't say, "Dang, now I smell like a corn dog." They take offense to that. And they will throw things. But not corn dogs. Hard stuff. Stuff that leaves bruises and makes you bleed. Then you may have to get stitches or something. Just don't say it. If you do start smelling like a corn dog, just shut up about it. Okay?

I think kids are acutely aware of corn dog smells too. Counsel your kids on how to behave around LSU fans. If LSU fans are driving around town, do not let your kids stick their headsout of your car window and sniff the air. No. Keep your windows rolled up. An odd change in their expression - indicating they smell corn dogs - might get a wrench or pipe or some other object tossed at your windshield. So, that's dangerous. Let your kids stick their heads out of the car windows as you drive - on some other weekend.

I know you are just as puzzled as I am about some of this corn dog stuff. What puzzles me most is that I've never actually seen any of these LSU fans with a corn dog in their hand. Okay, maybe there's no mystery there - maybe they already ate the corn dogs. Who knows? Maybe there's a corn dog factory in Baton Rouge and they all work there. Maybe, there's a corn dog lotion that they wear, or a French perfume. Maybe their city council puts corn dog juice in the water supply - kind of like fluoride. The politics there are probably weird. The big political issue during the city election is whether they should add more ketchup or more mustard to the water. Don't comment on it though. It's not politically correct over there. It's like a malnutrition issue or something. It's like the corn dogs are probably added to the water to prevent starvation or something.

I know when you go to Baton Rouge, you're thinking: "Ahhhh. Here I am in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I'll bet the people here smell just like boiled crawfish or shrimp etoufe' or some fancy Cajun food." But just stop thinking that. That's just a myth. They smell just like corn dogs.

In fact, please listen to my advice. Leave them alone about the corn dog odor. And don't try masking the odor with something stronger. They'll curse at you. They'll say something like: "How dare you smoke a cigar in my home." or "Are you too good for the smell of corn dogs?" and they'll cuss out your kids too: "What!!! Little Mister fancy pants over here acts like he doesn't want to smell like corn dogs."

Cajuns are not like us. Don't you see that, yet? They are really sensitive about being sniffed and about their corn dog aroma. They know they smell like corn dogs and it is no laughing matter to them at all. I know. I know. We sniff the bammers and the UGA dawgs and the Ole messes, and we keep a straight face with each of them, but don't press your luck with the Cajun tiger fans. Don't refer to Death Valley as corn dog valley either. I mean that's just wrong. Even if you've been drinking, they'll beat you up and curse out your kids.

Along these lines, be extra careful when you laugh in their direction - even if you're laughing about something else. Like baseball or football, or whatever. If you can't control yourself and you must laugh though, do not snort. The snorting makes them think that you smell their corn dog body odor from a distance or that you're choking on it or something. They'll likely burn your van for that. We lost a campus building over just one snort.

So, just remember. You can love one another without sniffing each other. You can enjoy the clash of a couple of good football teams. You can enjoy the thrill of the rivalry. But after the game, please heed my words. Please just move along. No sniffing the opposing fans this Saturday. Okay? Get your corn dog jollies at home.

Enough with this corn dog talk. Let's play ball…

I know, what can I say? I'm quite sure that I was probably one of 'em. We swine love to do that kind of thing!

In fact, I've been sleeping so well since we joined the SEC that I now have a hard time remembering some things. Oh My!...was Matt Jones playing that year, or somethin'? Incoming...hold on.... this does come to mind:

...but I'm not quite sure. It does seem that y'all were ranked fairly high (like #6) that year. I can't even remember the score...... Oh well.

I do agree with you on the state fair dogs, but something just isn't quite right with that image.

Touche!

Exactly, and the point that Porky made about our food clearly being the best for tailgating...

It insults some fans to be associated with a plain old corndog when it is widely know that LSU tailgating food is some of the best in the nation.

I think it's funny, in a lame sort of way.
