We know Auburn gave us the corndog nickname. Was it LSU or Auburn that gave Bama the Gumps nickname.? Or maybe they gave themselves the nickname after the movie.

I love how they had to tell him to STOP so he wouldn't run in the tunnel. The best was when he told JFK he had to pee.

I would bet like 85-95% of LSU fans would have no idea what you are talking about if you called them a corndog. At least it isn't an insult.

that's ok... the whole corndog thing was a surprise to me when i started reading message boards

with all the tailgating at LSU and all the different foods they eat down in LA? They talk about a food item I rarely see anywhere

for the record I have a strong dislike for that film

and I would go out on a limb and say the gump moniker originated from this site.
