Auburn's wishing well ring ceremony to ward off evil spirits is fricking moronic

It's coming up later this month. Can't wait.

The PMAC scoreboard used to show basketball specific lyrics for "Hey Fightin' Tigers", which were pretty bad. I'd be surprised if they still do.

I don't recall all the differences, but I think "smash right through the line" was changed to "smash an alley-oop".


I know there was the line at the end that replaced "So give it all of your might as you fight tonight, and keep the goal in view, Victory for LSU!" to "Championships of the SEC and NCAA, LSU go all the way?".

at the tail end of the Houston Nutt era, our team ran onto the field through an inflatable pig.



A close second is using Hank Williams Jr "Hog Wild" at a few sporting events.

Meh, while not a highlight for me, that was a promotional boner that Adidas flogged and MSu & aTm went along for the money.

Kinda like looking back on tight-rolled acid washed jeans. Surely mortifying now, but back then

Oh it was a promotional deal for adidas no doubt. Just seemed like they could have done something better as a whole than that. It wasn't just terrible, but it made me laugh

when Richt's son made that music video. "Dawg Bite", I think it was called? It was bad. Real bad


I thought the "Party at the UGA" orientation video was cornier. I heard about that for years from friends and family

That houndstooth jersey collar/hat giveaway at that Ole Miss game in 2006 was the equivalent of an African infected with the Black Plague getting off at LaGuardia and licking everyone.

It started all the awful terrible houndstooth stuff en masse that spread like wildfire and because of it we have to deal with it today.

Honestly, that was like the 8th worst thing that happened that day/year. I had almost totally forgotten about it considering it happened at halftime of the 9-0 loss to Auburn to cap the 3-9 season in a driving sleet/rain storm.

And, it was pre-houndstooth stuff being what it is today, so it didn't seem nearly as embarrassing then. It was goofy and a bit tacky, but it didn't have the same cache it has today.

I would, if I'd ever seen one. Sounds corny as hell, and we have some truly corny shite.

On the Auburn side of the coin, the way they hyped that silly curse at freshman orientation was terrible. It's an okay story if you tell it once. Once.

The #webelieve campaign before playing the Gumps a few years back. Had people sending video from all across the world leading up to that game, saying "#WEBELIEVE". Unfortunately all we did was wake up the sleeping giant known as Bammer.
