Is it true that LSU fans spit tobacco at the opposing team's cheerleaders? I heard some guy talking about this in my class last night... he was from UGA so i'm not sure how much truth there was to it... Go Tigers!
We get those kinds of accusations every year. Personally I think it is BS, possibly urban legends from the past. But every year the administration does warn us about taking things too far, and with 35k students I have no doubt we have some bad apples in the bunch.
LSU has one of the most energized fan bases, and we have one of the biggest tailgating traditions in the country. I had a school meeting Sunday night at 5PM and the RV lot was already jamming to music and partying down.
Yeah we taunt fans of the visiting team with our cries of "Tiger Bait", but at the same time we share a beer and some tailgate food.... Because of my construction industry ties, and supply of season tickets to sell for my uncle, I regularly have friends who bring opposing team fans to our games. We always have a blast with them no matter who they are rooting for. I have never seen them get mistreated other than people pointing them out as tiger bait.
On a different note, did anyone notice the new renovations to the stadium? They tore down the west upper deck, and rebuilt it in the same style as the newly added east upper deck. In theory, the 20 year campus plan has a contingency to bowl the upper deck in. It looks sweet when lit up form the outside. Sooner or latter they will finish the cosmetic construction and give us our parking lot back!
