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?

Laugh and look down at them.

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.

Do this and then do this and you'll see them do this and then they'll do this while you're still doing this

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.

If an LSU tiger baited me, I'd probably wreck shop on their whole crew.

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.

Im 33 and can remember being about 11 or 12 years old and hearing grown men say Tiger Bait! Even then I was thinking how just uncool it sounded I guess. But to each his own I guess. Its just cheesy with a side of corny unless your a toddler.
