For those who weren't around or are curious as to the history behind 'LSU FANS SMELL LIKE CORNDOGS'....
SOWN SEEDS
1999 was called the Cigar game, we completely dominated LSU at LSU beating them 41-7. Tuberville celebrated by handing out cigars to the entire team, and they went out on the empty field and smoked them. Pictures of this surfaced over the following days and completely pizzed off the LSU fan base.
REAPAGE
2001 - our usually early season game with LSU was postponed due to 9-11, setting the stage in December for a game to decide the Western Champs.
Trouble - before, during, and after the game.
before – Night Game at Death Valley. All day long for those Cajuns to marinade with championship implications on the line, LSU fans rocking the team bus, Hitting a tiger walk captain (man with cancer) in the face with football, cursing & screaming at Auburn fans.
During - Auburn penalized 15 yards for stomping on tiger eye before game even started(didn't happen), Damon Duval altercation with LSU marching band. We lost.
After - LSU fans dropping bricks from stadium, Auburn van burned to the ground, LSU fans rocking van with AU coaches and players, tires slashed on vehicles, cars keyed, more LSU fan harassment
TRUTH vs DENIAL
Stories started coming out after the game about the horrible/dangerous behavior of the LSU fans after the game.
During that time I was on the Auburn Scout site. on the Toomer's Corner forum, went by the name of BloodType:Orange&Blue. There was an LSU fan who joined earlier in the year (before the scheduled game in September). He became a regular and had good banter with the board, but after that game and all of the stories of the bad behavior, he vehemently denied the accusations and held to the story that it was just a few rouge fans. Denial was met with actual eye-witness accounts yet the denial continued getting more and more heated as it went....
WIT CUTS DEEP
Enter DeepBlue, Amidst this dialog a seminal shot was fired. One which encapsulated the entire argument into an ingenious parody of the situation.
He flipped the argument from 'LSU fans are the rudest, crudest, and most violent fan-base in the nation - YET THEY REFUSE TO ADMIT IT' into 'LSU fans smell like corn dogs - BUT REFUSE TO ADMIT IT'.
You can be the judge as to it's genius or lack-there-of. But for me - having watched how it all unfolded - thought it was sheer brilliance; and still hold it to be one of the most poignant pieces of satire ever written on a message board.
LSU fans smell just like corn dogs.
Yes, it is often said, but so, so true. LSU fans do smell like corn dogs. I would never tell them that to their face though. This is something better said at internet distances. Even now, I am afraid.
I am afraid that they’ll know I said it. I’ll walk past an LSU fan someday, and he’ll see that look in my eye that gives it away. That look that says, “gee, what is that smell? Is it corn dogs?” The next thing you know, I’ll have flat tires on my car.
If you only learn one thing from me today, remember not to tell LSU fans how they smell – you know, like corn dogs.
LSU fans seem, somehow, sensitive to that whole corn dog issue.I think this may be why a lot of fans get beaten up by LSU fans. If you attend a game in Baton Rouge, try to avoid telling them that they smell like corn dogs. Say something else instead. Like, “Wow, LSU sure does have a great team this year. This is going to be a great SEC game.”
It’s hard. I know. It’s like when you’re having sex and you try to think about baseball. That corn dog smell is just so overwhelming. It makes it hard for you to think about football or baseball or whatever else.
Your brain wanders into corn dog topics like: “Gee, I wonder if I took a bite of your finger, if you would taste just like a corn dog?”; or “Is this a real person or is it a giant corn dog trying to make me think it is a real person?” or “What did that giant corn dog just say?” or “Excuse me, Mister, why is it that you smell just exactly like corn dogs smell?” or, of course, after a silencer: “Madam, did you just let the corn dogs out?”
Heck, after what I’ve heard about LSU fans, I think it may be better not to smell them at all. Okay, not all of them. Some of them are nice. Sure. Smell the nice ones. That’s okay.
You know what else is a bad thing to do? Holding your nose around them. They are real sensitive to that, too. Try …
holding your breath. But don’t be obvious about it. Somehow they know you’re trying not to breathe in the corn dog smell. And that offends them. They’ll likely punch you for that if they catch on to what you’re doing.
If you do breathe it in long enough, though, it’ll permeate your whole body, and then you’ll smell like a corn dog just like they do. But don’t say, “Dang, now I smell like a corn dog.” They take offense to that. And they will throw things. But not corn dogs. Hard stuff.
Stuff that leaves bruises and makes you bleed. Then you may have to get stitches or something. Just don’t say it. If you do start smelling like a corn dog, just shut up about it. Okay?
I think kids are acutely aware of corn dog smells too. Counsel your kids on how to behave around LSU fans. If LSU fans are driving around town, do not let your kids stick their heads out of your car window and sniff the air. No. Keep your windows rolled up.
An odd change in their expression – indicating they smell corn dogs – might get a wrench or pipe or some other object tossed at your windshield. So, that’s dangerous. Let your kids stick their heads out of the car windows as you drive – on some other weekend.
I know you are just as puzzled as I am about some of this corn dog stuff. What puzzles me most is that I’ve never actually seen any of these LSU fans with a corn dog in their hand. Okay, maybe there’s no mystery there – maybe they already ate the corn dogs. Who knows?
Maybe there’s a corn dog factory in Baton Rouge and they all work there. Maybe, there’s a corn dog lotion that they wear, or a French perfume. Maybe their city council puts corn dog juice in the water supply – kind of like fluoride. The politics there are probably weird.
The big political issue during the city election is whether they should add more ketchup or more mustard to the water. Don’t comment on it though. It’s not politically correct over there. It’s like a malnutrition issue or something. It’s like the corn dogs are probably added to the water to prevent starvation or something.
I know when you go to Baton Rouge, you’re thinking: “Ahhhh. Here I am in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I’ll bet the people here smell just like boiled crawfish or shrimp etoufe’ or some fancy Cajun food.” But just stop thinking that. That’s just a myth. They smell just like corn dogs.
In fact, please listen to my advice. Leave them alone about the corn dog odor. And don’t try masking the odor with something stronger.
They’ll curse at you. They’ll say something like: “WTF, how dare you smoke a cigar in my home,” or “WTF!! Are you too good for the smell of corn dogs?” and they’ll cuss out your kids too: “WTF!!! Little Mister fancy pants over here acts like he doesn’t want to smell like corn dogs.”
Cajuns are not like us. Don’t you see that, yet? They are really sensitive about being sniffed and about their corn dog aroma. They know they smell like corn dogs and it is no laughing matter to them at all.
I know, I know. We sniff the Bammers and the UGA Dawgs and the Ole Messes, and we keep a straight face with each of them, but don’t press your luck with the Cajun tiger fans. Don’t refer to Death Valley as corn dog valley either. I mean that’s just wrong. Even if you’ve been drinking, they’ll beat you up and curse out your kids.
Along these lines, be extra careful when you laugh in their direction – even if you’re laughing about something else. Like baseball or football, or sex or whatever. If you can’t control yourself and you must laugh though, do not snort. The snorting makes them think that you smell their corn dog body odor from a distance or that you’re choking on it or something. They’ll likely burn your van for that. We lost a campus building over just one snort.
So, just remember. You can love one another without sniffing each other. You can enjoy the clash of a couple of good football teams. You can enjoy the thrill of the rivalry. But after the game, please heed my words. Please just move along. No sniffing the opposing fans this Saturday. Okay? Get your corn dog jollies at home.
Enough with this corn dog talk. Let’s play ball…
