Ranters,

Every school has their own saying/motto/etc. they say to each other and to opposing fans.

War Eagle, Roll Tide, Hotty Toddy, etc.

How do y'all handle this when an opposing fan base says it to you?
Usually I either ignore it or give them a "Hail State?" (in a "I'm Ron Burgandy? voice)

I always feel awkward getting "tiger bait-ed" Maybe because tiger fans go out of their way to say it to opposing fans.

Still haven't been eaten by a tiger but I'm keeping my head on a swivel.

What is the best comeback you have ever given/received?

Find a way to insult their poverty and/or preferred school?

It just happens. It's not something I plan.

Illinois fans: I-L-L

Mizzou response: you, make, me.

I give them a Roll Tide. If every school has their own motto they should just respond with that, right?

I was down in Baton Rouge a few years ago and was "tiger-baited" by a fine, older woman.

I looked at her and said, "You're not a tiger. You're a fricking cougar." She laughed.

Lsu fans are the only ones who really go overboard with Tigerbait. I've been to 12 different SEC campuses for games and the only ones who really go out of their way to talk to you are Lsu fans.

It didn't bother us, some of the older Lsu fans were even apologizing for the rowdy ones.

Depends. In a casual, non-gameday situation, I'll banter or do nothing. Usually the only people who talk shite away from gamedays are UGA fans (largely the non-college ones) or Bama fans, so unless we're friends, I'll just ignore them.

On gamedays, I'll respond in kind or if they're being obnoxious, just smirk and stare at them menacingly like I just burned down their house.

Roll Tide is a loving greeting for everyone.

When said to opposing fans it means "welcome, even though you root for that other school we are more than happy to let you revel in the majesty and the glory of the Tide today. May the Bear smile on you and shine the light of the kingdom of heaven upon you."
