It was WAY before the late '90's. I remember "geaux" from the mid-70's.

In 1978 they would put "Geaux Tigres" on the scoreboards.

This is like saying Penn State should jazz up it's uniforms. GEAUX is one of the most unique traditions in college football.

I don't know what is wrong with some of you.

Gotta throw the BS flag on that one!

To answer the original question, I remember having to explain what it meant to an airhead date I took to a game in 78 or 79. Don't really remember it from the 60's or early 70's though

One of the many uniquenesses of LSU. I personally like it, and so do a lot of others it seems.

What's the down side? None that I can see.
