I guess I am over the hill here but I think a family should be able to take a five year old kid to a game and not have to answer the question, “ Hey dad what does Suck That Tiger Dick, Bitch mean?” Time and place. Funny in a bar or party, I guess. But you have to know time and place. Drink and have a great time and yell, but also be aware of your surroundings. Don’t think that is too much to ask.
Never change LSU students. Never change

Agree 100% on the "what about the children argument". You should be respectful regardless of age or gender.
I couldnt disagree more on the general respect part of the thing. I dont think anyone will be scarred by most anything they see or hear at any one time in their life. There was a time when people just had respect for others no matter the setting. If you knew a guy didnt use that kind of language, you just didnt use it around them. I think student sections are funny and wonderful in so many ways. Using that kind of language isnt one of them. Its a fundamental difference in whether you should respect others and we will likely never agree on it. Its much easier for thsoe students to be respectful than it is for everyone else to cover their ears or make sure they dont sit near them. Nevermind that some may wind up there and have no idea that could happen.
Lol, what?
You put beer in a cup before walking outside, because someone else doesn't drink beer? Holy over-sensitive alert.
Maybe don't be doing keg stands on your front lawn, but thinking that it's wrong to have a beer in front of someone who doesn't drink and might think it's offensive is laughable.
If you take your kids to a rated R movie that you know has bad language then you right to be upset. If you play music with bad language and your kid hears it then that’s on you. I am sure some parents of five year old kids don’t mind it and don’t think it s a big deal. But I agree with BHSRebels89 point, you should be respectful to those around you. My language is different depending on who I am with. I don’t think it’s too much to ask students to be aware of young kids and families at a football game. I am not trying to play the walking up hill to school card, but I would be interested to see what parents of younger kids feel compared to those without young kids.
It's the adults that cheer on and enjoy this type of disrespectful crap that bothers me more. You're the ones raising these assholes. Some of you didn't get a belt upside your ass nearly enough growing up.
Yeah I went to college and partied, etc. But even then if there were children around and some dick was running his mouth off I shut it down quick. The lack of respect is what gets under my skin.
And that's a shame. Some of my best times in life have been spending special days in Clemson as a family sharing my love of Clemson with my children as it should be. I didnt know we had so many selfish young pricks on this board...wait a minute, yes I did.
Seems like you have an issue being able to deal with uncomfortable situations around your family.
I have an 8yr old daughter. If she was at the game, I would explain the difference between right and wrong. I would teach her in no way is it acceptable for her to act that way at her age. When she gets older and is an adult she will have to make those decisions for herself.
I feel pretty confident I will be able to lay an appropriate foundation for her.
Wait....religious people don't drink? Clearly they aren't Catholics?
so are we replacing the woo hoo with this chant or not? i need to practice up for Saturday
If you are looking for civility and class, a home LSU football game ain't the place to be.
What's the difference between a Baptist and Presbyterian?
A Presbyterian will speak to you at a bar!
This is far and away the greatest thing you have ever posted on this board.
Politicians should save that video. If there's a future Brett Cavannaugh in the stands that could be used to derail a nomination.
Only partly kidding.
I usually go with it’s not gonna **** itself. I’m gonna try the LSU chant going forward.
It's called having respect for your elders...I really dont know why it's so hard to understand. I didnt drink in front my paternal grandparents who were deeply religious but I did in front of my mom's parents because they drank as well. Its just out of respect. That's how I was raised and apparently you werent.
Could you imagine raising kids knowing they will be part of future communist America? And you’re kids are welcome for my tax dollars.
Maybe. I'm not saying it's a huge deal, but I'm bringing my 2 year old to his first game this weekend. He's at an age where he's just repeating everything he hears. I really don't want to explain to other parents or his teachers why he's asking fellow 2 year olds to suck his tiger d__k.
150 years ago we had soldiers as young as 10 fighting in the Civil War... Now we can't have children hear cuss words in a stadium (that they hear in their 2nd grade classes anyway) or it's an outrage ... My my how soft we have gotten
I believe Williams-Brice has plenty of empty seats on Saturday for those who want to act like rednck trash in front of kids and families. Take in a few bottles and some batteries to throw on the field while you're at it and a lot of you would fit right in. Hell, they already worship cocks over there.
I don't disagree with your general premise ITT, but the bold part above is really weird.
I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this, I really am because this is going to shake your world up ...
If your daughter is 10 she is either in the 4th or 5th grade and she is hearing things twice that bad at school everyday
Her dad was an alcoholic when he was younger but swore off the bottle and got saved. He doesnt like to be around drinking or anyone who is drinking and so out of respect, I do what my wife asked me to do and put it in a cup. He would never say anything to me or her about it but she knows he doesnt like it and I'm ok with that. He knows it's my right to drink beer and I know it's his right not to approve of it and to prefer to not be around it. We respect each others feelings on it...he's not gonna tell me not to drink and I'm not gonna walk around my yard 40 ft from their door with a beer can in my hand. My parents drink...hers dont.
Why? Are schools trying to out-vulgar one another now?
So as a parent I should have no problem with whatever she's exposed to. I should just drop F-bombs and talk about somebody sucking #@$% or eating #$%%@ in front of her because, uh...you know, she hears it at school. This may shake your little world up....some of us still try to raise our children to have respect for other peoples feelings and to have a little bit of decency and we dont give a damn if people like you frown upon that. If everyone had a little more self respect, respect for others, and little more decency about themselves this world would be a much better place.
Its not soft but thats an easy way to make yourslef feel better or tougher or whatever it is for you.
Let me put it to you this way:
You're at your tailgate and you're talking that way with your buddies and Jim Clements (or whomever it is in this world that you have respect for) walks up with his wife and kids. Do you continue to talk that way or do you clean it up and maybe even apologize for what they may have heard?
This is disgusting. If Clemson's students ever did something like this, I would hope the President of the University would admonish them publicly.
No doubt kids are exposed to and hearing far worse than this at school. Words are just noises our faces make, and like it or not, they’re gonna learn these noises from you or someone...but make no mistake, they are going to hear them from someone. I have a six year old, and personally, I’d be grateful that she heard it in my presence so that I’d have the opportunity to answer her questions and guide the discussion and message.
You have a helluva daughter if she can synthesize what a crowd is screaming, and if she does and said it in school, everyone would just laugh and know she went to an LSU game. We always joke about how when I was a kid I supposedly got Jimmy Buffett's "why don't we get drunk and screw" stuck in my head. Does that make my parents bad parents? That stuff just happens, ya laugh about it, and move on.
I understand that Louisiana people are different than most folks. As someone who grew up there and then moved to Clemson, I noticed it immediately. People in Louisiana are probably a bit trashier in theory than others. Their jokes might be a bit more vulgar than others, but I'll be damned if I've ever met someone from Louisiana who doesn't have a good sense of humor or who doesn't know how to have a good time.
There's a lot about this state that could be considered trashy or dirty. Hell most aspects of Mardi Gras are exactly that, but they're damn good people all around and I think a lot of other folks just need to lighten up. Again, it takes all types so I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that, but I found South Carolina folks on the whole to be a bit more formal and reserved than Louisiana people. That's fine, but I found it to be a bit boring.
Do you not think there's a difference between cussing to yourself or with your friends, and just yelling cuss words in public? I know some people have a hard time filtering themselves or figuring out when certain language is inappropriate, and some people don't think any language is ever inappropriate. But you make yourself seem classless and rude when you impose that language on people in public. We've probably all been guilty of it at some point, but that doesn't make it good.
I guess it depends on if Jim Clements is raising his kids to be communist loving snowflakes or not.
That should be embarrassing to any fanbase. Just ignorant
I love drinking some beer and getting a little rowdy every Saturday, but there is a big difference in having a good time and being a complete disrespectful clown. People from South Carolina love to have a good time. I have seen things at Clemson fueled by Busch Light that I can never unsee, BUT this is not even remotely classified in the "boys being boys" category.
I don't know man, this just doesn't even seem funny. I am certainly not one that brings his kids to games and thinks we are going to a church program, but I also don't really want any of my kids hearing or seeing this at a game. Yes, have a good time/let loose but don't take it too far.
