This is such a funny situation. "Traditions". On one hand you have people complaining about what the band does after every 2nd down or 3rd down. They don't like it that the band always does that. Hmm.

There was an entire thread based on what song should replace "Sweet Caroline" at the Tigue.

We have so many problems. We want "tradition" but we don't want what we keep doing.

I just see a dog, continuing to chase his tail.

We are a finicky bunch.

^This is true^

The ragin Cajun chant from one side to the other is awful. the cheerleaders and band try to force it to happen. Then go faster and faster so it sounds like crap.

The kids run is terrible. It doesn’t set up for a football game atmosphere.

Pretty sure the ragin cajun chant is basketball. A football field is kind of big to get that going. I could be wrong? I just don't recall it at football. It could be because I don't pay attention to that kind of suff.

Yooouuu Said it. And how.

Agree 100% we have no tradition because we change every few years because people _____ and moan about the "traditions".

It's at both venues and the crowd isn't even there to respond to it. It's embarrassing more than anything.

There were a few times during softball games this past season where a young child (and there were a few different ones) would start the chant with "Ragin". Those chants are some of my favorite. They got a great response too.

I think maybe the bigger point is that our game day atmosphere doesn’t draw people in. It doesn’t keep them away, but it doesn’t draw them in.

We all know that LSU has a strong hold on 98% of casual fans in the state. Why is that? I can tell you why. It’s because they went to an LSU game as a kid and saw the band march on the field, play the opening notes of the fight song, and then the crowd went crazy.

I know it sounds bizarre, but those four notes of their fight song sell more tshirts and sell more tickets than anything we do.

I don’t know what the solution is, but it has to be geared toward making Cajun Field a “have to be there” environment.

Hey fighting tiger has never fired me up.

Go fighting tigers, fight all the way
Hey fighting tigers win the game today
We got to know how you’re doing fine
You’re on the ball you hit the wall you crash back to the line
You got to go for a touchdown run up the score
Make mike the tiger stand right up and roar.....

I’d love to know who it is that gets fired by the lsuambr fight song? That song fires up no one IMO.

Honestly, it's one of college football's best and most recognizable fight songs.

Actually it’s not even LSUAMBR’s band most recognizable song. And many people think that bah bah bah bah bah they play pregame and start of the 4th quarter is their fight song but it’s not.

I disagree.

I can't imagine either of those things would keep someone from wanting to attend a game at Cajun Field.

"Hey, honey, Cajuns are in first place in the SBC West again this season. Want to go catch a game?"

"I'd love to go watch the team play, but until they get rid of that stupid chant and stop that kids run game thing, I don't want to go. I refuse to suffer through that."

What Babb said.

It may seem like little details but the atmosphere dies before it ever gets started.

What about when Chris guilloute gets the go tigers at Alex Box going. He says go and everyone responds tigers. As much as I hate them it’s a good tradition if it comes natural can’t be forced.

I disagree.

It’s ok to be wrong. What I stated was a fact not an opinion.
