Shakers bring people together. Why the hate?

Picture #1 and #5 are from the 2011 Bama game. As I said earlier, they were passed out in the lower level section by LSU. I was in the uppers and they weren't given to us there, nor did anyone have them.

Picture #2 is from a Bowl or NCG game where they are usually thrown out by sponsors in the swag bag that's taped to each chair. Cap1 bowl a few years ago we got thundersticks instead of shakers.

The other pictures are from the 2005 Bama game which was an LSU bus trip and they were given in the swag bag.

I've been to 120+ straight LSU games, they aren't brought to games by fans; only used when handed out by sponsors, etc.

When yall keep saying that you dont use them and I can keep providing more and more photos. Or you could just admit it and move on

ETA and you are incorrect on a few of those

I'm not denying that they are used. I'm telling you when we have used them...they aren't part of the gameday attire like Auburn, Bama, Ole Miss, & UGA.

Auburn wins this in a landslide.

Alabama uses them just as much as we do.

I don't get the hate for shakers either

I don't see the big deal with shakers honestly. When you have a ton of people doing them it looks cool IMO

I don't think it's fair to list LSU as a pom pom fan base. I don't even remember the last time they had them in the stadium

At least you don't see douches walking around campus pre game with them tucked in their back pockets. Still trying to figure out how this has evolved into a fashion trend

about once every 5 years one of our sponsors hands out some at the gates. I don't think that is enough to include us in this list

Cheerleaders = pom pom

The non-shaker end serves as an excellent drink stirrer.

1. There's a CLEAR deference between Pom poms and shakers

2. What's the big deal?

I've seen this mentioned on here a few times as an insult and I don't get it. I've never brought one from home to any game and if there's a large crowd doing it, it looks cool IMO.

And EL OHH frickIN EL at the A&M fan saying they're more gay than aggie milkmen and make cheerleaders.

LULZ.

We have used them a couple of times in the past.

Haven't seen a shaker at any home game all season.
