What do you people think of this? This is an official push by the ASB and University to replace, "The South Will Rise Again" with "To Hell With LSU".
I can't think of any other school that would include another school in their often played fight song, even against teams not named LSU. I think this is fricking stupid.

Makes Ole Miss look rather pathetic imo.

Yea, and Texas says something about A&M in their fight song too.

It is not our fight song.
And the only reason this came about was because they are trying to stop the students from saying "The South Will Rise Again" at the end of "Slow Dixie"
It IS silly and I am sure it will not go anywhere......oh, and.....Go To Hell, LSU!

Seems like a lose-lose situation

UGA's fight song includes "and to hell with Georgia Tech"
It isn't common, but it certainly isn't unheard of. That being said, OM will always be OM and no matter what the powers that be do, ban most versions of Dixie, ban the southern cross, get rid of Col Reb remove "the south will rise again" that attitude and specter will always be there. They may as well embrace it, or else they lose one of the best parts about SEC football - the tradition.

I think it's pretty ghey to have another school in your fight song, even if it's "tradition."

Also, UCLA's fight song specifically mentions USC.

“Sons of Westwood”
We are Sons of Westwood,
And we hail the Blue and Gold;
True to thee our hearts will be,
Our love will not grow old.
Bruins roam the hills of Westwood,
By the blue Pacific shore;
And when they chance to see a man from USC,
Ev’ry Bruin starts to roar.
U! (3 claps)
C! (3 claps)
L! (3 claps)
A! (3 claps)
U-C-L-A! Fight! Fight! Fight!

I would say half the people who even know the words to Alabama's fight song couldn't even tell you who its referring too. Considering Georgia Tech hasn't been a conference member in over forty years, it's not surprising some don't. Even with the use of Bulldogs, some might think its referring to Mississippi State, our least uninterrupted series. However, its referring to Georgia.

"Ole Miss... Will... Rise... A...gain" was a colossal failure

Georgia Tech has the coolest fight song of all. They brag of 'drinking my whiskey clear!"
And claim to be 'hell of an engineer'
And say "TO HELL WITH GEORGIA, like his daddy used to do."

Caterpillar. you go to Ole Miss. How many people have you heard saying they will change what they say at the end of Dixie?? I'm under the impression that the fans that are offended by it probably don't even stay long enough to hear it. already have "go to hell lsu" in our pregame, definitely don't need it in our postgame.

end of Dixie??
That's not Dixie, Dinkus.
That would be From Dixie with Love. It's a mixture of Dixie and the Battle Hymn of the Republic.
