Best 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

For the "Worst" category I would have gone with these dipshits:

Good post, but Jesus, you could have done much better that that for the "worst" selection. How about their tradition of urinating on visiting fans? How about their tradition of trowing things at visiting team's bus? How about their tradition of wearing their godawful colors from head to toe, even at the beach? Come to think of it, their colors may be their worst tradition.
Bonus note: refer to their colors as "purple and yellow" and see how the neighborhood coonass responds.
I agree, the cocksuckers who dress up like pimps are awful. Some other terrible LSU traditions:
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.
You see, faithful Cup fans; there are gazillions of things to hate about LSU! Picking just one isn't really fair or possible.
Question: Are the Tiger Pimps "sidewalk" fans, or did they attend classes at LSU? Neither answer would surprise me.
I just hate LSU period.
I believe the Tiger pimps are mostly lawyers from Baton Rouge/New Orleans. They went to college 'n shit. I don't know if that makes it better or worse that they dress up like Liberace's gay son every weekend.
It makes it worse. What ever the answer to the question is, it makes it worse.
Guh, sidewalk fans.
"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.
Best: RSC is dead on. I wish the Pride of the South could create half of that atmosphere. The Golden Band made last year’s game in Oxford a home game for LSU
Worst: Everything. I look forward to the day hell opens up and swallow those coonasses

Gayest thing I have ever seen. Obnoxious corndog bayou bastards.
Blah, Blah, Blah...you can say that shit again in November after we beat your ass again on our way to another crystal football...btw you can send us Mike Wallace, Patrick Trahan and Marshay Greene back to Louisiana since ya'll dont like us folk from LA...now go back to talking about Memphis...nice to see ya'll own somebody...hahaha
All Time - LSU vs.Mississippi 55-37-4
Who closed down Corndog 7 early?
Listen pal, they were just smart enough to get away from swamp trash like you. As far as I'm concerned Marshay, Mike, and Patrick are all dipped and vaccinated Rebels now.
But we did give you Colby Arceneaux back, so you're welcome.
Look at the last names we just discussed: Wallace, Green, Trahan and Arceneaux.
Who's the coonass in the group?
First, how did a "crazy coonass" find his way here?...
And second, THEY USE TECHNOLOGY NOW??!!
That must mean Big Foot IS real!
It does crack me up when people break out the all-time record. I mean, shit that loss we took in 1944 still gets to me. But seriously the smartest thing ever done in the state of LA, was way back in the day when the state government combined what was, basically, the University of LA, with the state's "A&M" school. Thus setting the stage for a singular athletic program with no one to compete against for recruits, fans, money, etc. It would've been smart for MS to do this, so we didn't.
Guy, guys, guys...please don't be bitter that LSU is better than your team.
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??
