Don't Roosta Like You Use ta

[NOCajun]

_ This is my first post. I like to follow the up to date news which is given here most of the time. I really hate starting my raginpagin's 1st post like this, but I have to do it in order to save humiliation!

Let me say first and foremost. I am a HUGE CAJUN FAN! I do not miss games (Football, Basketball, Baseball) and I am a member of the RCAF. I am a graduate of UL and will support this school until the day I die.

Please tell me that the news I am hearing this morning isn't true!?!? According to numerous sources, Jay Walker stated on his show that ESPN will televise the "Rooster Dance" which is done by the Krewe de Chewe.....

I hope to God this isn't true! With all due respect, this would be a devistation to our team, the fans and our tailgating atmosphere viewed by the nation. For those of you not familar with this dance, it's done about 15 times a game and people from this Krewe dress in rooster costumes a peck around like they're eating corn and kicking dirt while flapping their wings. This is only humerous and entertaining to the people directly under the tent. The rest of the tailgaters awe in disbelief that this so called ritual now has an itinerary on what times it will be done and has a bell to start the festivities..... Look, I understand this is all in fun, but really??? Do it once a year for homecoming. Do it once a game, some may still not be able to tolerate it....but PLEASE DON'T DO THIS ON ESPN!!!!!!!!!! We will be the laughing stock of college football. Can we vote for ESPN to show the cutting of the Boudin, the Cajun walk, the general tailgaing atmosphere, the live band....anything but the Rooster! I tailgate close to the Rooster Tent and I speak for about 100 fellow tailgaters when I say this non sense has got to stop. The 1st corn eating, dirt kicking mating dance was ok, but now there are costumes, make up, bells, schedules............draw the line and come back to normality.

Comments are now able to be heard.............................



Prediction for Friday:

Louisiana's Pecking Corn Eating Rooster's 31
Oklahoma State Cowgirls 30

Attendance: 17,500

ESPN 2 may lose it's college football rights after this debacle.


WITH ALL DUE RESPECT! _

Well, the local Manhattan, Kansas, tv station aired a taping of the "Rooster Dance" last year before the K-State/UL game, and we all know what happened there!!!

I SAY AIR IT AGAIN!!!!

Great News! _

Save it for the boys in Monroe; they can use it as their mascot.

_ Cutting of the boudin? Now that's embarrassing! _

My parents had that taken care of before they took me home from the hospital.

Heck yeah. That actually came off pretty well!

For those that are wondering, if you haven't seen it, go to Youtube, and search for Louisiana Tailgating. Good stuff.

Just got word last night that ESPN will in fact NOT be filming @ the Krewe's tailgate.

hmmm... cockblocked?

As an outsider, and someone who has been invited to the Krewe De Chew (and someone who has partipated in the Roosta Dance) :

I think it's one of the greatest things I've ever seen at a tailgate, and I've been to many (Idaho, Utah State, Arizona, Tennessee, South Carolina, Illinois, FAU, Arky State, etc, etc).

Cajuns are lucky to have the cultural heritage (food, music, French language) that those of us in the "carpetbagging" Middle Tennessee area do not. Embrace it.

My 17-month old daughter now does the "Roosta" Dance every time she hears the word "chicken" or "rooster". If that is wrong, I don't want the Krewe De Chew to be right.

Us founding members of the Krewe De Blue tailgating group await in great anticipation to see the Roosta on national TV. Like others have said, who cares what others think ?

When you guys get tired of the Krewe De Chew, send our brothers on up to Murfreesboro. We are jealous and would take 'em in a hearbeat.

_ It wouldn't be so bad if you people could actually dance. I saw the video. It just looks like a group of people who do this "dance" because they don't really know how to dance. _

THAT IS NOT DANCING, IT IS 'TRYING TO IMITATE A CHICKEN. IF YOU CALL THAT DANCING THEN " YOU CAN'T DANCE BECAUSE THAT AIN'T DANCING, THAT'S HAVING FUN.

I just got word that ESPN will instead air one of the "Cajun" tailgates where the under 25 year olds have some gangsta tunes "playin" loud, unimaginative, no skill, foul-mouthed, fake hood stories. ESPN noted that they prefer showing younger people in full degeneration mode like they see all across America today.

Be proud that we won't be embarrassed by the Rooster Dance. We get to prove that our young people stumble and bumble around their tailgates listening to stupid, worthless music just like all the other young tailgaters across America. "Thank goodness"!

Be Thankful, Be Very Thankful that ESPN will not be airing the Krewe De Pukes classic "Cock Fighting Rooster Dance" all across America. This little song and dance is a complete Debacle and should be performed in an enclosed tent enviornment. I heard that Troy from Swamp People will be singing lead vocals during the "Roosta" song. "Shhhhhoooooooot It, Treeee Shaaakkkeeerrrr!!!" You Stay Classy San Diego....

_ If Espn puts this on TV, they're doing it strictly to mock UL.. This kind of stuff is good fun for ppl in this area who grew up with Cajun French culture and Mardi Gras, but the nation will not understand. This should not be televised.

This is a cleverly designed plot to encourage the recruitment of more local players...because every college coach that recruits against us outside this state will have the video of this on their iPhone to play for the recruits mother...

All kidding aside, I say let the Roosta's Rumble, social suicide at it's finest, because it's never too late to have a happy childhood...
