I was a freshman in 64 and it was alive and well. It was so great after a big game with OM in TS that as fans left the stadium at the end, everyone would chant that walking and it vibrated and echoed in the halls....It was fantastic. Lots of great things USED to happen, but have been abandoned for really worthless crap.

No. Not 1971. I have been going to the LSU ole miss games since 1966 and they started before that.

It's definitely older than that. It goes back to at least 1961, maybe even further to 1958 when both LSU and Ole Miss consistently fielded good football teams.

My guess is that it started around the time of the 1958 National championship season.

Yea, it was DEFINITELY heard at the 1964 game! That was the noisiest LSU crowd ever, I think because it was a night game and we had been beaten badly by them in the daytime the two previous years.

1958-59 season. I was there.The intensity was off the charts.

Pretty sure General Middleton screamed this at Bastogne in '45.

I started watching LSU football in 1960, it was earlier than that.

I'm 63 and I've been aware of it since I was able to reason. Mid 60s at least for me.

July 25, 1863 - When Union Major General William Tecumseh Sherman captured Jackson, MS (after previously being beaten back at the Battle of Chickasaw Bayou north of Vicksburg), the former Superintendent of LSU's predecessor school, screamed from his horse, "Go to hell, Ole Miss!" Sherman was promoted to Brigadier General after screaming the rallying cry.
Because she was a southerner, Margaret Mitchell left this tidbit out of "Gone With The Wind." Fact!

I believe it was coined by Daniel Boone in the 1700’s…
It was the first of May, in the year 1769, that I resigned my domestic happiness for a time, and left my family ... to wander through the wilderness of America. One man in our discovery party suggested turning south from Tennessee into Mississippi, to which I responded, “Go to hell, Ole Miss.” Afterwards, I turned our party north to search for the lands of Kentucky. —?Daniel Boone

I think it was ripped off from the "go to help Notre dame" cheer the same year.
I was definitely allowed/encouraged to curse for those games, so I'm going to say 1970 or 1971 at the latest. I mean, I remember, pre-kindergarten doing the "Go to Hell Notre Dame, Go to Hell" - and maybe doing it for Ole Miss, too. 1970 or 1971, final answer.

1971 sounds about right. I started following LSU in the fall of 1969, and I recall that cheer started just a few short years after that.
