re: LSU game traditional band song issues

My questions:
1. Do you think these chants are good for LSU as a whole?
2. Do these band changes lessen your excitement for LSU football games?
3. Given the nature of these chants, do you still perform them when you're getting beat?

I'm surprised you haven't asked what the racist Rice chant was. A LSU alum from the late 60s shared that one with me.

As someone in that thread said, the students have always been crass and somewhat vulgar.

Maybe it's somewhat worse now but I think it has more to do with TV mics picking it up and broadcasting it. Otherwise, who cares what the students say if other students are the only ones who can really hear it.

I went to LSU games in the 80s as a kid and never knew the cheers had completely different lines until I attended LSU as a student (in the student section) in the early/mid 90s. From the South End Zone in the 80s, it was a completely different experience.
