Students would yell Assholes!
FWIW I’ve been told by numerous people that students have done the assholes cheer for about as long as they’ve said Go to hell Ole Miss Go to hell.
But that doesn’t fit the narrative.

They stopped playing it around the ‘05 season. That was my freshman year. I didn’t get student tickets until ‘06 and they didn’t play it then on....

that's horrible. No wonder fans leave. Half the atmosphere of a football game is created by the band.
I used to like hearing the USCw band whenever the Trojans played on TV. Their drum cadence was the best. Ohio State's band was another you could always hear over a TV telecast.

It was banned for 2006.
Tiger Band cranks up Tiger Rag during pregame for the 2004 Sugar Bowl. "a-hole, a-hole".

Somebody linked an article about some douchebag who is the Tiger Stadium "DJ" or some such BS. Apparently, he tells the band when they can play. I've noticed that there seems to be less and less band music every season, and more garbage music over the PA system. Sometimes it's so loud that it gives you a freaking migraine.
Time to bite the bullet and just put a DJ in the student section. This younger generation thinks stuff like that is cool. They aren't really about traditional.

You are correct. I was a student at LSU from ‘84-88 and after EVERY touchdown, the band would play it.... and it wasn’t Just a-hole, it was “Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha, Assholes.....”

This goes back to the Neck thread. Student section has been yelling a-hole during Tiger Rag since before the early 90's. It was never a problem until the current administration came into control. A big group of gaping vag outsiders that are not familiar with LSU traditions. The student section is always going to be vulgar, same as with most other schools. If you cut out the traditional songs, gonna come up with another song to cuss with. Quit being a bunch of pussies. If you don't want to hear any cuss words, don't bring your toddler near the student section.

Sad that New Orleans style Jazz is rare in its Birth City today, but is thriving and appreciated as an art form a world away across the pacific in Japan and across the Atlantic in France.

Somewhere around 1990 we were forced to play a modified version of it which skipped over that part of the song. I didn't like it. ...And they we're definitely saying "A-hole" back then.

It was banned starting with the Mississippi State game of 1987.
The week before, we played Alabama and apparently, when we scored our only touchdown of the day, the student "a$$hole, a$$hole" chant came across the ESPN broadcast very loud. The following Monday, the Morning Advocate published a letter from an GTHOM fan who was offended by the cheer, and made a point of saying "the band was leading offensive cheers" during our game in Jackson that year (which was the infamous "Spontaneous Road Trip"). That last statement was something the school could not weather.
It has made comebacks since then, but always to the same result.
Hope that helps,
