What are some of the ways that the cheers we use came to be what we know them as?

Though I'm a younger fan(21) and grew up most of my life in southern Louisiana, I think we should use the traditional:
"Hot Boudin, cold Couscous, come on Tigers lets push, push, push."

Though I'm only one man, and cannot start it alone.

I respectfully disagree--"Hot Boudin" is a really goofy cheer, which is probably why it has been abandoned. "Couscous" and "push" don't rhyme. And when was the last time you ate it cold?

A couple years ago.

I was wondering what the older Fan would think about this.

The dish is made with corn meal not wheat so has no relation to couscous. It should be eaten hot with milk and, if you're lucky, a handful of cracklins per bowl.The proper pronunciation is "coush-coush" which almost rhymes with push, which, in the cheer, should be pronounced "poush". The cheer started in the late 50's , it was in use when I started LSU in 1960. Let's do bring it back.

I'm not familiar with the wheat stuff. Cracklins are the tits.

That's what I thinking.

We should definitely go retro.

ETA: I think it would be awesome, because that's a cheer that no one can claim. It is a Louisiana "thing", that we could identify with. I just remember my dad saying it to me a lot and teaching it to me, when I was younger.

Rip Rip Rip is a classic.

Another favorite is:

We eat pizza.
We drink beer.
Hey Bama,
F--- you.


It's a lot catchier in the moment...

There was an old cheer that went something like:

L-O-U
rah rah
I-S-I
rah rah
A-N-A
rah rah

And I can't remember the rest but it was quite catchy. Anyone remember this?

My Uncle was a cheerleader for LSU back in the black and white picture days.

My Grandfather made up that cheer!

Yes and I loved that cheer and will finish it:

Lou rah
ooo rah
isi rah
ana rah
Louisiana Rah Rah
Sis Boom Bah! Hey!

That is a great old cheer along with one still done after games by Tiger Band (admittedly way to fast from the way it we did it)
L-S-U
Tiiiiiiigers!
Fight! Fight! Fight!


My all time favorite was done by a guy in T.B. back in the 80's and it's a variation of Hot Boudin.

Hot Boudin
Pizza in a cup
Come on Tigers
Don't screw up!
