Hot Boudin Cold Cush Cush Lets Geaux-Cajuns Push! Push! Push!

At the Lady Cajuns softball games the announcer known as King Rob lets out the old Cajun Chant with a twist.

Does anyone know the first time this was used at UL?

ps I wish they used him during the post season.

We said it way back when but it is "Couche couche" not cush cush and it wasn't Cajuns we said Geaux Bulldogs push push push. It might have been just "Go Bulldogs" I can't remember.

. . . I STILL have not come across the history in print.

Since the board has grown by about 2200 since I posed the question perhaps someone will know the answer.

thanks

Yet another thing that LSU claims as well. ("Geaux" Tigers anyone?)

I always wondered how boudin and coush coush made it to Baton Rouge, I should have guessed it came through Lafayette first.

No, those a-holes don't say (or pronounce) cush cush, and push push. They say cous cous and pous pous. cous cous is the way that its really spelled, but all true cajuns know its not pronounced like that. It makes you wonder how they can use the -eaux spelling of the word go, and pronounce that right.

You should check out yesterdays Daily Advertiser in opinions. Geaux was a topic, though not exactly in the context we are thinking of here. That person has way too much time on their hands.

"cous cous is the way that its really spelled, "

Incorrect. The Moroccan dish, cous cous, is made of wheat rolled into something resembling small bits of pasta and then steamed. The cajun dish, couch-couche (literally, sleep-sleep) is fried corn meal, usually served with syrup or fig preserves. The two have no connection except for vaguely similar but distinct names.

Pardon Moi, I've seen the "do it yourself" moroccan dish at grocery stores, and figured that it was similar stuff because i had always heard those creeps pronounce it in their cheer like that. So, actually, after hearing your explanation, it makes them look even more idiotic that they're trying to be cajun but they're using a morrocan dish instead of a cajun dish.

My step-mom was doing that cheer in the 60's at her high school in Franklin. I don't think this is exclusively a UL thing.

I played high school football in the fifties in this area and it was used then.

Hot Boudin!

Cold Cush Cush!

I remember my dad singing “hot boudin cold couche couche, come on bulldogs, push, push, push”. When I tried to look it up, all I could find was LSU fans singing it for the Tigers. ��! So which came first? My dad was a graduate of USL in the 60’s, so it’s been around for a while.

We have video evidence of geaux on an early Cajun Field scoreboard. I’m pretty sure someone posted it here, and also created the Swamp on the 89 media guide with Brian Mitchell. Tell the Florida fans they’re not first.

Dude, there are lots of things I might not know, but this is an easy one: I’ve heard that cheer at UL since at least the late 70’s. I also have some good friends that went to refineryville at the same time so I spent many weekends hanging with them during that same time. Trust me, there was nothing ‘cajun’ there but a bunch of haughty kids making fun of our accents. Their lagniappe days were called ‘Jam-Jam.’
I first heard them stealing the cheer around the mid/late 80’s after being ‘Cajun’ suddenly became cool. This was also the same time they stole ‘GEAUX’….and around the same time that that fake-Cajun cook on pbs became popular, the one who a lot of people thought was so funny.

No surprise that anything unique about that university or that city is unoriginal. It’s the Applebees of America.

It was around since at least 1972 which was my last year of graduate school.

My dad used to say he was Cajun before being Cajun was cool.

A lot of high schools adopted college chants back then.

A lot of rural schools had no clue what colleges were doing back then. I think they get credit on their own.
