Forgive My Ignorance: ? About Corndogs

[RVTIDER]

As you can see I have been a member for sometime, but post rarely. So when I see all the posts with corndog in them I get confused. So please someone help me, what is a corndog?

:eek2: it's to early for that corn dog smell!

Over the past few years, corn dogs have become associated with fans of The Louisiana State University's (LSU) athletic teams. It started in 2003 with an anonymous post on an Auburn University sports message board LSU Fans Smell Like Corndogs, but "took on a life of its own" across the Southern U.S. through email traffic and internet message boards until "Corn Dog" has now become another nickname for an LSU fan. Fans of rival schools have printed up t-shirts with the slogan and have chanted "Corn Dogs!" at LSU teams FTB, and LSU's athletic program and fans are collectively called "CornDog Nation" CornDog Nation.

Thanks guys. I should ask more questions more often. Although I believe if you keep your mouth shut people might think you are ignorant, but if you open it.............

LOL! Originating from a barn site, I always thought they must have meant it to read coondog! :biggrin2: Roll Tide!:BigA:

You can google it to read it. Stupid, but funny in a childish way.

The corndog business is totally an Auburn thing. You guys surprise me. Some Barner plagiarized an old story written by someone at Oklahoma State in the 1960's about Iowa State. You know, Iowa, the land of corn and hogs. The corndog is their regional cuisine. The joke made sense.

So, this Barner substituted LSU for Iowa State and and made a post that made no sense at all, but they thought it was hilarious at Agbarn. Anyone who has ever tailgated in Baton Rouge knows that LSU smells like jambalaya, gumbo, smoked andoille, and boiling crustaceans. They keep putting that invented Wikipedia paragraph up and Wikipedia keeps taking it down.

Honestly, the corndog thing is the lamest taunt I have ever heard (OK, Hoddy Toddy may be lamer). Teams with some swagger will holler TIGERBAIT, or ROLL TIDE, or BOOMER SOONER at you. Barners with a weenie fixation walk around LSU saying "Corndog! Corndog!" and giggling to each other. LSU fans who don't frequent Auburn web sites (ie, most LSU fans) have no idea what they are talking about.

We're embarassed for them.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that:

1. It came from an Auburn fan so I guess that would account for the confusion.

2. From the feedback I've gotten by LSU fans I don't think that bothers them very much. Now the two guys kissing that ruffled some feathers. I still use that to this very day.


If all else fails just mention the glorious wave of purple and gold as those two guys revealed their burning passion for each other on national television. It was a good day to be an LSU fan!!:eek2:

Auburn fans make corndogs using vienna sausages and toothpicks.

I don't know about the rest of y'all but I love corndogs. It's like a hot dog, but on a stick. I thought everyone knew what corndogs were. I used to eat them all the time when I was a kid. They were sold at the little league baseball games. They are best when dipped in mustard. Mmmmm...Corndogs.

 

[RVTIDER]

I knew it had to be false. It came from a barner so it has to be stupid. Besides I met Saban for a few minutes a couple of months back and he smelt a little of Red Man Gold not corn dogs.

So if that all came from a post on a Auburn board let's try starting a new one: I met a Barner today and he smelt like_______________. You insert the joke.

cow chip

 

[Ironhead Bret]

smelt like:

fear

Cow paddy

mating sheep

Take your pick.

Little known fact about corndogs ( the edible kind ): They were actually invented by Thomas Edison. He called them his "tastiest invention" and even jokingly called it his "most beloved invention." Now whether it is considered a very innovative recipe or an edible invention is up to debate, but I just thought it was neat little story.

Don't worry, I just should have added a smile.
