This latest level of animosity started with the hurricane game getting canceled and re-scheduled to their stadium 5 or 6 years ago. They deserve every bit of full beer cans to the head that they get for being a bunch of classless asshats.
Ain't that the truth. Here is a "ground breaking" idea, how about we start learning to beat this bunch, like we used to do with regularity under the SOS years, instead of like we have done for the past 20 years, continually finding new creative ways to lose to them. If we are the ones up by 21 points, their band will be as silent as a church mouse, as will be the rest of the trailer park dwellers from the bayou.
Sometimes it takes leaders of the adults leading, like when our University Athletic Association made our band strike the "move back you suck" from its play list.
I don't think the LSU band is alone in doing this as I recall being at a USCe game when they played during Tom Petty as well. Saw some Gator fans get escorted from the stadium for throwing cups of ice at their band.
I think they all try and play their 4th quarter song... Or whatever. But not on Tom Petty Day and not after you've already been called on the carpet for it for doing it the week of his death. Tell them they can do their tradition during a TV timeout.
I expect, no, demand it from my 18 year old grandchildren as I demanded it from my children and young adults in my charge on the athletic field or employed by me. And I do not consider myself a fool.
I think it would be great if the next time they come they are coming down for their halftime show we should misdirect them right on down to University Avenue outside of the stadium...lets see them pull their classless stuff out by the Hary Krishnas on the north side of the stadium....tell them there has been a delay and make them wait...and wait...and wait...oh just one more second....wait...wait...are your band uniforms hot in the sun here? Let me go get some water for everyone...just wait and we will get it...then more waiting....but NO water! Look theyre college kids but that school and their administration is just a bunch of low class troglodytes from the penis nose AD all the way to the band. Only one school is worse...and we know who that is.
You're assuming that they would be here for a day game, no chance. Our game will always be a night game with them either here or away.
I hope our administration file a complaint with the Commissioner's office, who then fines LSU - especially since this is not their first offense.
So LSU is having fun and thumbing their nose at us and our "traditions" while we self ban our real traditions because somebody in New York City might get upset. Maybe we should just go ahead and change our name from the fightin' Gators to the fightin' Karens?
