re: What Is Your Favorite/Least Favorite SEC Game Day Traditions?

Spitting on Auburn fans is my favorite. If I have a son, I hope to pass that tradition down.

Not sure why there are so many aTm haters on this forum...I enjoyed my visit to Kyle Field and thought the rendition of the Aggie War Hymn with all the fans locking arms to shoulder in that sawing motion was really cool. Their fans deserve a better outcome on the field...at least they’re done playing Clemson OOC in addition to that brutal SEC West schedule the past two years.

At LSU we drink in the stadium more than any other fan base and nobody needs a drink stirrer.

They are just all eaten up with Aggie.

The evolution of land grant schools in states which already had an established "flagship" school have always created tensions. That was not/is not specific to UM and MSU, or really even the South.

But, that rift widened in the South post-Civil war and throughout the Jim Crow South era and integration periods of the Civil Rights era, as the federal government leveraged their ability to influence land-grant schools toward the desires of the federal government. This created continued pushback against the government by states resistant to having change forced upon them and further division between fanbases; even if that division created a bit of a false narrative. Neither bases in the civil rights era South were that far apart on social views, it was just that one half had no choice based on their alignment as a federal land-grant school.

By extension, and, again, not specific to the South, the flagships developed the notions that they were the bastions for social-cultural traditions reflective of the more privileged class and A&M schools were the lap dogs of the federal government. The former believed a college education was designed for the more liberal ideals and sense of broadening that the experience offered. And, they viewed the latter as essentially a Tech/vocational school with non-traditional University standards or a sense of purpose.

So, yes, many of the states with conflict between flagship and land grant schools have a rivalry and traditions that have grown out of political and educational perspectives, which are also historically associated with both class and race.

What ever Ole Miss fans say in unison about flim flam and jam jam's. That shite is laughable.Texas A&M's weird cheer led by their male cheer leaders is cringe too.

Favorite besides LSU May be Dixieland Delight at Alabama or Rocky Top

if they go small woodland and/or swamp critters, the LSU Gnawing Nutrias would be a betting favorite... go Swamp Rats!
