A few years back, an Auburn fan who goes by the Rivals username "DeepBlue" 
posted this controversial dissertation about LSU fans. It has become legend 
ever since.

***

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...
