All corn dogs smell like is fried food. The ENTIRE state of Louisiana smells like fried food. Hence the nickname.

That's just it you dumbass. I've never seen anyone cook corn dogs at a tailgate. That's like us calling State Fans violinists instead of cowbellers. Doesn't make sense.


and you don't get that all your fans smell like carnival workers (corndogs) no one ever said you cooked them.





And that actually makes even LESS sense that corndogs.

There are untold more Louisiana festivals, fairs and concerts than out-of-state carnivals that you see once or twice a year (at least in NOLA metro area.)

There are literally hundreds of local events like
Louisiana Seafood Festival, French Quarter Fest, Strawberry Festival, N.O. Jazz & Heritage Festival (JazzFest), Gumbo Festival, Oyster Festival, Oktoberfest, PoBoy Festival, White Linen Night (NOLA Arts District), and ones associated with dates, holidays, other foods, reunions, city and town anniversaries, etc.

Be honest. How many corndogs did you eat for lunch today?

Zero.

But, man, I sure smell like corndogs today.





Maybe it's just my cologne.

If you are looking for answers I don't know why your fans smell, maybe its the foods you eat coming out or maybe you are brought up to take less baths/showers than other states. Maybe its that alot of sewage from other states runs down the Mississippi river and ends up in your backyard. I try to take a shower everyday if that helps at all.

They have running water in Arkansas? MetryTyger, don't you take that from him...you tell him about all the good smelling soap and water in the state of LA. That must be a joke taken from another board completely unrelated to LSU.

Wait a minute, your corndogs smell like sewage?

Maybe you should try a different brand - unless you actually like the smell of sewage...

I bet Metry doesn't reply to you. He seems like the kind of pussy who can't stand up for himself or his state.

Not mad at all. Just puzzled and a little disappointed if you want to know the truth. Us Louisianians don't mind calling names and busting balls in good spirit....in fact we kinda enjoy it. But the name/slang at least has to make sense or have some ties to the people its being directed to. Now if Corn dogs was the nickname for the Nebraska Cornhuskers I can understand that. They grow a lot of corn up there. If we smelled like Corn dogs i would own it proudly but I swear all i smell on game days is smoke, jambalaya, and bourbon.

Cmon SEC brethren....you can do better than that.

1. It's a nickname stolen by Auburn fans from what Big 12 fans call Nebraska fans.
2. There's a Wienerschnitzel on Highland Road a couple blocks north from campus. When the wind blows from the north east (especially on a cloudy day), the north half of campus (especially the parade grounds) actually smells like corn dogs.

You are right, Nebraska grows a lot of corn. A shite ton of it ends up in Louisiana as corn meal.

Oh BTW, your mangina is showing.

The whole corndog thing came from jealously

Louisiana has the best cooked food in the entire country and all they can do is steal lame nick names from midwestern schools.

Dude, i doubt that anyone (quite) as dumb as Forrest played ball for Bear Bryant, but the Rant calls 'Bama fans the Gumps. It comes from a fictional book/movie. It has little (if any) basis in fact, it is actually pretty stupid, but it is kinda funny. 'Bama fans laugh it off and move on.

Neither I nor any Aggie that I have ever known maintains a mason full of semen, but the Rant calls us "jizz jars." It comes from an unsubstantiated rumor published in a magazine article written two decades ago by a t-sip. It has little (if any) basis in fact, it is actually pretty stupid, but is is kinda funny. Aggies laugh it off and move on.

I have tailgated at Baton Rouge. I did not see anyone cooking corndogs. The entire thing comes from an anonymous internet meme that is at least a decade old. It has little (if any) basis in fact, it is actually pretty stupid, but it is kinda funny.

I suggest that you laugh if off and move on.

Serious question. Do the concession stands in the stadium sell corndogs? I was so full from tailgate that I never looked at the menu.

Here is a newspaper article from 1983 making fun of Nebraska calling them the corndogs. LINK
