Sooooooooo... Let's say a bama player whips his stuff out and pisses on your logo at midfield. Not gonna get upset?

Why does that make LSU fans so mad that they still talk about it almost 15 years later? Is it some sort of sign of disrespect? If so, why is it considered disrespectful?
Just something out of the ordinary. Respect or disrespect don't matter, losing the game is what mattered.

I've always wondered...how did lsu fans hear about it?
I remember hearing about it first on the old ESPN message boards. I remember it was a rumor that spread and started a bunch of e-fights between LSU fans that said they did smoke the cigars and AU fans that said they didn't and would never do such a thing. Then the pic showed up and took it to a new level.

Yeah, I'm not saying it's right or wrong or reasonable as to who is blamed. Just trying to give one person's recollection of how the thinking started that upset the average LSU fan in general towards AU. Might have been misguided, but I just recall the cigar smoking pics on midfield coming across as an "in your face", and then over the years, things happening that all just got jumbled into one focus of "Auburn".

It was pretty awesome after we beat y'all in 2001 and everyone in tiger stadium lite a cigar. I wish had a picture of it but I remember walking out of the stadium and it looked like it was on fire.

Found a post from 1993 on the old rec.sport.football.college newsgroup that I found interdasting:

I know some people will have trouble believing there anything resembling the Internet in 1993 but I seent it myself. Twas very handy for getting lyrics for Nirvana songs and other mind boggling useless trivia.

As for the cigar smoking by the Auburn players, that is a Iron Bowl
tradition that has been around for many years. Alabama players were smoking
cigars after the game for the last three years, so any fan that complains about
Auburn doing it is ignorant.

Beat us in Tiger Stadium in 1997 the week after we had just beaten #1 Florida, jumped into the top ten and become the favorite to win the SEC West. It was supposed to be our watershed moment, the game that stamped us as a legitimate contender both in the SEC and nationally. But it all came crashing down the next week when Tuberville used a little-known QB named Stewart Patridge to shred the LSU defense in a 36-21 upset. The '97 team was never the same after that game, and of the course the total collapse of the DiNardo regime occurred over the next two years, helped by another loss to Ole Miss in Oxford in '98, in OT after we made a 3-TD comeback in the 4th quarter.
In all honesty, I think it was those two games, but mainly the '97 one, that made LSU fans hate Tuberville. The rest was all justification, not cause. LSU fans (some, not all) already hated him before he even went to Auburn, and going there, then beating us in his first game while there, only made it worse.

There used to be a video of the espn footage when the 2001 game ended and almost everyone had a cigar in their mouths, most women even did
