SEC Traditions: The Best and Worst - LSU

PrintBest Tradition: "The Golden Band from Tigerland." I know that, as a Rebel, you hate these bastards deep down inside, but you cannot honestly tell me you have heard or seen a louder, prouder marching band. They're big, they're deafening, and they do an amazing job of firing up the fans in Death Valley. I know Ohio State would beg to differ (they try that whole "begging to differ" shit a lot, huh?) but the LSU marching band is absolutely peerless.
Honorable Mention: Mike the Tiger. LSU is the only school that does the whole "Tigers" thing right (you hear that, Memphis, Auburn, Mizzou, etc?) and Mike is definitely one of the best live mascots out there. He's in the same league as Uga, Ralphie, and Bevo.
Worst Tradition: Cajun last names. I was almost inclined to say "Cajun people," but who knows what kind of anti-defamatory lawsuit we'd get slapped with after that one. It's a good thing I took a couple of years of French in high school becuase if I were just to read names like "Perriloux," "Stefoin," "Doucet," or "Francois" out of the context of LSU, I'd be lost.
Pear-ih-lowx?The Cajun names also serve greatly to remind everyone that LSU's fanbase is made up primarily of the most obnoxious people outside of the Jersey shore: Louisianans. Seriously, I'm certain that I've run into a few extras from The Waterboy a time or two down there. I honestly love New Orleans, but I wouldn't mind if it's surrounding

Bonus note: refer to their colors as "purple and yellow" and see how the neighborhood coonass responds.

1. That gay ass thing all their fans do where they raise their hand up and down. It's cued by some song the band plays, and looks like 90,000 people doing a Method Man imitation.
2. The fat ass who shows up to every baseball game and yells "Gooooooaaa....", which is intended to be followed by "Tigers" by the rest of their crowd. Nothing wrong with cheering, but the guy's got the most annoying voice I've ever heard.
3. Spelling everything with an 'eaux' ending. They do it with every word that ends with a long O sound. It's gay.
These are just a few I've noticed. Ditto on the ugly ass colors, and the fact they've mistaken straight up piss yellow for gold.

"Tahger Baait, Tahger Baait!"
On another note, I was born and raised in a parish surrounding NOLA, and I still want it to go up in flames.

You being upset about whatever it is that your team is lacking is no reason to be down on LSU.
After all, can a place with that much good food and that many good looking women really be all that bad??
