It's definitely booger. There's no way to tell a difference with a Louisiana accent. And to fight against the name Booger as if it's a bad thing is honestly pretty disrespectful to LSU alum and SEC Network personality Booger McFarland.

Because it sounds better than the nickname he should have: Auburnrapist.

For pointing out the stupidity in pretending the made up phrase "Being united generates attitude" actually makes sense or means anything?

Especially if what the other poster said is true, that booger was his nickname and then they evented the phrase to fit buga.

Its "buga nation" he trademarked. It's not his own nickname he called himself, LSU fans just started calling him buga. If you don't see how "being united generates attitude" can apply to a team you are a idiot.

Even if it had some reference to God you would find some way to knock it.

Of all the Tigers to anger and antagonize, Bama fans pick the biggest and baddest one.

His family created the slogan/nickname in high school. They made shirts and sold them when he was in high school and everyone bought them because he was a man then and he is a man now. It was a way for his family to legally make money off of him. Kind of how Anthony Davis' family trademarked "fear the brow" when he was in college and made money off of those shirts.

It's not the teams nickname it's the nickname a player gave himself or if what another poster says is true, a way for his family make money off him.

Ok, thank you for the info. I'm always down with people making money the legit way.

I support it 100% now. It is a pleasure to watch him run.

I'm actually quite proud of op for using "dominant" in the correct form, and not "dominate". It's become a startling trend on TD to misuse the two words.

It will be funny when Harris throws 3 picks and Bugle Boy goes 29 for 120.
