I know we call AU War Chickens b/c of their little thing with that eagle, but where do they get corndogs from? They say we smell like corndogs but why? LSU chicks are among the hottest in the nation! To be honest, I'd much rather be a corndog then to be known as the fans that pissed all over themselves in the stadium. Also, Baton Rouge smells MMUUUUCCCHHHHH better than the Auburn/Opelika area. This came up b/c I passed through Auburn this week and stunk like hell....at this moment, I just wish I could smell a corndog.
One guy came up with name, the others thought it was funny and it stuck. Not much else you can put into it really. jealously breeds these kiinds of things.
For something to be funny, ... there has to be at least a little bit of truth in it. *shrugs* I saw a reference to someone smelling like corn dogs, because they had been eating them, on a cartoon my kids were watching, I think it was that one about the Beach Bum kids in California that surf and all that. Or it might have been one of those goofy Disney pre-teen shows, but it was something like that. Anyway, That was the first time I had heard it outside the Barners hujking it around, so maybe that is where they got it from. Would be about right.
That wasn't Auburn you smelled it was all those bammers that live in Opelika :grin: I don't know how the corndog thing got started but is is intended as just a funny. I originally thougt it had to do with cooking corndogs during tailgate cookouts. One of the gals on my Auburn board is married to an LSU guy and she refers to him as a corndog. Heck John Kerry was seen at a carnival recenty eating a foot long corndog (I know that makes you feel better).In any event it is not meant to be deroatory, at least no more so than War Chicken :grin:
I know every rival has to have some sort of name calling for the other; just curious to where "corndog" came from. When I said Auburn smelled bad, I didn't mean the university, I meant the actual city area so maybe you're correct with the Opelika thing....who knows.
Heck, I've been around long enough to know how it started....... First.... a premise..... the year was 2001. The stage was set for the battle of Western division championship game in red-stick. A night game, and the place hadn't been this geeked about a game in many a year. The LSU fans were out to avenge a home-field disaster which culminated in the Au team celebrating with cigars being smoked after the game. I will not go into the reported incidents, but many AU fans felt their experience at the game bordered on assault. Anyway... after the game many AU fans were debating with LSU fans about the treatment and for the most part LSU fans were saying that the claims by the AU fans were lies or blown out of proportion. Tempers flared on both sides and thus was born a post by the late DeepBlue. Although he uses definite tongue in cheek humor, the overriding tone of the post can read 'LSU fans are jerks' instead of 'LSU fans smell like corndogs'. I don't think it is too hard to miss. Anyway here is the post...... LSU fans smell like corn dogs LSU fans smell just like corn dogs. Yes, it is often said, but so, so true. LSU fans do smell like corn dogs. I would never tell them that to their face though. This is something better said at internet distances. Even now, I am afraid. I am afraid that they'll know I said it. I'll walk past an LSU fan someday, and he'll see that look in my eye that gives it away. That look that says, "gee, what is that smell? Is it corn dogs?" The next thing you know, I'll have flat tires on my car. If you only learn one thing from me today, remember not to tell LSU fans how they smell - you know, like corn dogs. LSU fans seem, somehow, sensitive to that whole corn dog issue. I think this may be why a lot of fans get beaten up by LSU fans. If you attend a game in Baton Rouge, try to avoid telling them that they smell like corn dogs. Say something else instead. Like, "Wow, LSU sure does have a great team this year. This is going to be a great SEC game." It's hard. I know. It's like when you're having sex and you try to think about baseball. That corn dog smell is just so overwhelming. It makes it hard for you to think about football or baseball or whatever else. Your brain wanders into corn dog topics like: "Gee, I wonder if I took a bite of your finger, if you would taste just like a corn dog?"; or "Is this a real person or is it a giant corn dog trying to make me think it is a real person?" or "What did that giant corn dog just say?" or "Excuse me, Mister, why is it that you smell just exactly like corn dogs smell?" or, of course, after a silencer: "Madam, did you just let the corn dogs out?" Heck, after what I've heard about LSU fans, I think it may be better not to smell them at all. Okay, not all of them. Some of them are nice. Sure. Smell the nice ones. That's okay. You know what else is a bad thing to do? Holding your nose around them. They are real sensitive to that, too. Try holding your breath. But don't be obvious about it. Somehow they know you're trying not to breathe in the corn dog smell. And that offends them. They'll likely punch you for that if they catch on to what you're doing. If you do breathe it in long enough, though, it'll permeate your whole body, and then you'll smell like a corn dog just like they do. But don't say, "Dang, now I smell like a corn dog." They take offense to that. And they will throw things. But not corn dogs. Hard stuff. Stuff that leaves bruises and makes you bleed. Then you may have to get stitches or something. Just don't say it. If you do start smelling like a corn dog, just shut up about it. Okay? I think kids are acutely aware of corn dog smells too. Counsel your kids on how to behave around LSU fans. If LSU fans are driving around town, do not let your kids stick their heads out of your car window and sniff the air. No. Keep your windows rolled up. An odd change in their expression - indicating they smell corn dogs - might get a wrench or pipe or some other object tossed at your windshield. So, that's dangerous. Let your kids stick their heads out of the car windows as you drive - on some other weekend. I know you are just as puzzled as I am about some of this corn dog stuff. What puzzles me most is that I've never actually seen any of these LSU fans with a corn dog in their hand. Okay, maybe there's no mystery there - maybe they already ate the corn dogs. Who knows? Maybe there's a corn dog factory in Baton Rouge and they all work there. Maybe, there's a corn dog lotion that they wear, or a French perfume. Maybe their city council puts corn dog juice in the water supply - kind of like fluoride. The politics there are probably weird. The big political issue during the city election is whether they should add more ketchup or more mustard to the water. Don't comment on it though. It's not politically correct over there. It's like a malnutrition issue or something. It's like the corn dogs are probably added to the water to prevent starvation or something. I know when you go to Baton Rouge, you're thinking: "Ahhhh. Here I am in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I'll bet the people here smell just like boiled crawfish or shrimp etoufe' or some fancy Cajun food." But just stop thinking that. That's just a myth. They smell just like corn dogs. In fact, please listen to my advice. Leave them alone about the corn dog odor. And don't try masking the odor with something stronger. They'll curse at you. They'll say something like: "WTF, how dare you smoke a cigar in my home." or "WTF!! Are you too good for the smell of corn dogs?" and they'll cuss out your kids too: "WTF!!! Little Mister fancy pants over here acts like he doesn't want to smell like corn dogs." Cajuns are not like us. Don't you see that, yet? They are really sensitive about being sniffed and about their corn dog aroma. They know they smell like corn dogs and it is no laughing matter to them at all. I know. I know. We sniff the bammers and the UGA dawgs and the Ole messes, and we keep a straight face with each of them, but don't press your luck with the Cajun tiger fans. Don't refer to Death Valley as corn dog valley either. I mean that's just wrong. Even if you've been drinking, they'll beat you up and curse out your kids. Along these lines, be extra careful when you laugh in their direction - even if you're laughing about something else. Like baseball or football, or sex or whatever. If you can't control yourself and you must laugh though, do not snort. The snorting makes them think that you smell their corn dog body odor from a distance or that you're choking on it or something. They'll likely burn your van for that. We lost a campus building over just one snort. So, just remember. You can love one another without sniffing each other. You can enjoy the clash of a couple of good football teams. You can enjoy the thrill of the rivalry. But after the game, please heed my words. Please just move along. No sniffing the opposing fans this Saturday. Okay? Get your corn dog jollies at home. Enough with this corn dog talk. Let's play ball... ********************************************************* Don't kill the messenger.... just trying to clear up a little confusion. BT:OB+
Maybe he was smelling the tailgate fires being extinguished. Actually I like corndogs and like to smell them cooking
That is, by far, the most retarded correlation I've ever seen, heard, read or been told of in my entire life.
What they don't tell you is that Auburn stole this foolish dribble from another school. I believe it was orginated at Oklahoma St. It kind of makes the boys and girls on the Plains look just a little childish. I say let them keep the corndog tradition alive, it makes them look like the backwood $hita$$e$ they really are.
That's good news. At least Auburn won't be blamed for originating it. C'mon....is the corndog thing such a big deal? Personally I had much rather be called a corndog than a coonass. besides now when you guys chant "tiger bait, tiger bait" to us we can retort 'corn dog, corn dog" :wink:
