I'll throw this in this thread since I only recently learned the rest of the story and I was talking about the 1959 game earlier in this thread.
Pretty damn awesome story:

Pretty damn awesome story:
quote:
Geaux to Hell Ole Miss
When LSU is playing their rival, Ole Miss, LSU fans shout "Geaux to Hell Ole Miss. Geaux to hell" frequently, and signs with the same saying can be seen throughout the stadium. Ole Miss fans typically respond with "Go to hell, LSU!" Legend has it this was started prior to the 1959 contest when Coach Paul Dietzel, trying to motivate his troops, hired a plane to litter the LSU campus with flyers saying, "Go to Hell, LSU!"
When word of this reached Oxford, Johnny Vaught, not to be outdone, responded in kind by littering the Ole Miss campus with flyers saying, "Go to Hell, Ole Miss!" Saturday night, 30 minutes prior to kickoff, Tiger Stadium was already packed with the crowd split down the middle between Tigers and Rebels. Each set of fans were shouting at the top of their lungs to the other, "Go to Hell!" The tradition has stuck ever since.

Why is it ever a bad thing to care about winning a game?

Lsu holds what 40, 000 more people than Ole miss? You can't compare it. Nice try though.

To be fair, Death Valley holds twice the amount of people that Generic High School Stadium holds.

Don't hate us just because 90% of your fans are so racist they don't won't to be on the field with a large group of black kids

LSU
We can still have what for us is a successful season after losing to LSU.
LSU cannot have a successful season after losing to us. The bar is unrealistically high at LSU. They melt after close losses. 10-7.

I don't hate Ole Miss. As a matter of fact, I find myself puling for them often during the season. But, at the same time, I sure as hell love when LSU beats them. In my opinion, the rushing of the field was more because Ole Miss was undefeated and ranked high more than anything else...and LSU was being thought of as dead at the time. Had Ole Miss been 6-2 or 5-3, I highly doubt anyone from the stands would've been on the field.
