After the band plays National Anthem and pregame, we use to point at the other team and call them assholes and laugh at them. Do they still do that?


No this doesn't happen anymore. But I remember it.

Stands full and roaring when the band marches out for Pregame. Been a long long time since that was the case.

Painting the opposing team’s name/colors in one of the end zones.

Edit to add: To the down voters, this is not a troll. Check out the LSU/Notre Dame 1971 thread and look at the video. Tiger Stadium painted ND’s colors in the end zone as a show of respect and class to the visiting team. It was done all the time back then.

Band playing instead of piped-in crap.
So, it's not just me?

#1 on the list.

And the ENTIRE focus of Pre-Game should be TGBFTL playing those 4 Notes. (With 75-100 more Brass)

Nothing should distract and take away from the 4 Notes.

CBR does that. It's old, worn out and should be moved to after half-time to open up the 2nd half.

Oh, and that piped in IFLAB before every kickoff has to go to.

These 2 things are universally disliked by the majority and the Clueless LSUAD Delicate Genius's shove it in our faces every game.

Wanna know why we stopped going? (Besides Shrimpy Program Dysfunction)

The band has to cut the song off because the offense sprints up to the line...

Only to fake a snap then turn to the sidelines and wait until 2 seconds left on the play clock before actually running the unsuccessful play that Jake Peetz calls.

people showing up, showing out and staying for more than a half would be a better start...

How about that early 2000s pregame video with the CGI Mike the Tiger running around Baton Rouge, leaping over buildings on campus, etc?

I can’t find it anywhere but I’m sure it exists because somebody on TD posted a link a few months ago.

Individual starters names announced on the big screen before the game? Used to get the crowd hype!


Hyped? Maybe.

It was funny to hear the crowds cheering at different level based on how impactful the player was. Some players got raucous cheers, and some got a few claps

while i enjoy it, they aren't going to allow 10s of thousands of people to sing "suck that tiger dick bitch"

2. Hey baby



while i used to love this song, it isn't played anymore b/c we changed the lyrics to "heyyyyyyyyy, heyyy Florida, i want to know, if you'll be my bitch"



As i said, i'd like them both to come back, as well as "hahahahahaha assholes assholes" (my personal favorite pregame tradition), but that just isnt' going to happen.
and neither will getting Mike into the stadium, which sucks that we don't do that either, but that isn't going to ever happen again.

Mike the Tiger circling the stadium in his cage. Get rid of piped in music, especially the rap crap.

no early games

The 11:00 AM Florida game was the best attended game of the year. The only one where fans stayed to the end. Just sayin.

I loved those as well, but I think with the fast paced way the game is played now, those are all but impossible. They still try to do them but they never get to go through even half the song before they cut the song off now. It sucks, but I understand why they don't seem to happen much anymore. And it's not for lack of trying.
