As a native Louisianian and a long-time college football fan, I somehow have missed the LSU-Corndog connection.

What is it?

TIA

Gig 'Em, Aggies !!

LSU fans smell like corndogs, or so the legend goes...

http://fromthebleachersblog.blogspot.com/2006/09/lsu-fans-smell-like-corn-dogs.html

Didn't notice it in Arlington last year. Didn't get to close to any tigers tho

Here's the story. Many years ago, Colorado, Missouri, and later, OK fans, coined that name for the Nebraska Cornhusker folks. Make sense, right? Cornhuskers...corndogs. They even wrote a little story about it and put it on their blogs, etc. Then, according to SEC lore, some rival fans, some people say Auburn, lacking one original thought in their little heads, removed the Nebraska name, and placed LSU in there. And lo, a really dumb nickname was born.
For the life of me, I don't understand it. It's not insulting. It's kind of pathetic. Even sadder is when someone comes back and says, it's not corndog, it's cause you smell like stinky carnies. Okay. Still not offended. Don't get it. Don't understand. No connection to anything about LA. There are as many stinky, inbred, toothless, sibling-marrying carny types in AL, MS, GA, SC, TN, ARK, FL as there are in LA. BUT - Ours are different because at least we smell like "eau de gumbo", or boudin or jambalaya for etouffee to go along with that carny smell. And we have a fabulously rich heritage and culture - not to mention football talent - that others so envy. SO, to all of those rednecks trying to offend LSU with moniker "corndog" or "carny stink".....please. We're more offended by the fact that we're sharing airspace in our conference with some of the most unfunniest people around. I would advise everyone go back to their double-wide, sit on the toilet, and start thinking of something else.

^Butt hurt.

Because they are all carnies.

"most unfunniest"

The best part of that rant.

Navy, obviously you have never smelled an LSU fan!

So LSUcks has not adopted the moniker: "Corndog Nation"???

I prefer "Coonass."

i just think the cajuns are the smelliest people in america for the simple fact that they are connected with the French and the Redneck

coonass is good BOM

Okay, yeah, I did write "most unfunniest." You got me on that one. Ouch. Wrote that before I had my coffee. You may call me "butthurt," but I was just explaining the back-story to corn dog. Oh well. Whatever.

It's because LSU grads typically end up working at carnivals for a living and every single one of them smells like a corn dog.

i used to say that they smelled like stupid

It's because they go fishing for dorkfish there's alot of dorkfish in Louisiana...

Hey suga, I still love ya!!

Thank you ganu. You are my only friend here. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get to my 5 o' clock shift, taking tickets for the Tilt O' Whirl ride at the Pierre Part Alligator Festival.

sugamagnolialsu - thanks for the clarification. I have been wondering what corn dogs had to do with LSU or LA for that matter, makes some sense in reference to Nebraska.

Corn dogs are good... the LSU football team is good.... therefore our football team needs to eat more corn dogs?
