The original Auburn-sourced essay labeling LUSer as “corn dog” was so powerful and well written that I have questioned whether it’s author was actually a barner... English composition is not thought to be a required subject taught at the barn. The essay forever changed the English language and that is no mean feat.

LUSers have tried to claim it was plagiarized from a post making fun of - pick one: Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois. This has been desperately repeated by LUSers so long they actually believe it. BUT... no where on the internet have I found any similar essay about any other team, and the Auburn one linking Baton Rouge to the odor of corn dog has so many specific references to LSU and fans that it can be regarded as original.

So...it was not plagiarized... it is a forever description of LSU that will out live all of us.

It is one of the most powerful internet essays ever written. It labeled an entire school and fan base past and future with one masterful post. The author should win a Pulitzer Prize ... and the essay contained so many subtle but true characterizations that it should be enshrined in the comedic writing hall of fame.

My advice? I would tell the kids to keep the windows rolled up when driving in Baton Rouge and for god’s sake ...don’t sniff when meeting a corn dog

Bump.

This level of ignorance deserves attention.

The original Auburn-sourced essay labeling LUSer as “corn dog”

You must be quite young.

ACTUALLY, "Corn dog" was first used in reference to LSU fans by UGA fans in 2003. UGA fans quickly dropped it after losing twice to LSU, including in the SECCG. In 2004, Auburn fans decided to pick up the alleged insult, and proceeded to beat LSU in 2004. Had Auburn lost that game, "corn dogs" would've disappeared into obscurity. Alas, Auburn fans kept it going.

So in a way, you're right, it wasn't some illiterate Auburn fan who adapted the story from Nebraska/Iowa, it was an erudite UGA fan.

I actually remember reading it for the first time on a UGA board in 2003 (DawgRun?) - long before Auburn adopted it.

Who cares. What is funny is when this is said other SEC schools referencing LSU we just laugh at you, because it makes no sense.

It's just a random word, like calling fans pizza or paper bag.

Makes sense to me. Sure it's a broad generalization that could in no way actually apply to ever LSU fan, but the joke of it is you smell like corndogs because you have bad hygiene. Most likely it comes from your feet.

I usually associated the smell with cornchips rather than corndogs. I don't know if they were LSU fans, but they sure as frick smell like it.

The funny thing is watching LSU fans get uppity about it. Meanwhile you'll have no issue at all labeling every Alabama fan as living in a trailer, fricking their family and so on as if it was part of the gospels in the bible.

I like a good corn dog every once in awhile.

With Grey Poupon of course.

Hey!

I love all these cord dog frickers. What would the world/SEC be without Boudreaux?

My ancestry has DEEP Acadian roots. My family just had enough sense to get the frick out of that corrupt bit of Napoleonic horseshite and move to the greatest state in the union.

I never read it. Anyone have a link?



Never mind. I found it. A little overrated, imo, but aren't most things when they are over hyped? Had I not expected too much I would have thought it to be brilliant. It is a very nice piece. Got a couple of good zingers in there like the perfume and water supply. Overall I give it a B-, which is twice as good as anything I have ever done.

So to Deep Blue, wherever you are.

According to my father and his friend, who are both Ole Miss alumni, ole miss fans have been calling LSU fans corndogs for decades. It is in reference to LSU originally being an all male college. Corndogs somewhat resemble penises and basically they are just calling us gay.

I dont know if this is actually true as both my dad and his friend talk a lot of shite but I figured I'd share.
