"Tiger bait" is fairly new. I've always heard them say "Tiguh bait," and they've been saying that for years.
All I'm hearing in New Orleans is we're "Tiger Bait"

My girlfriend's aunt (grew up in Montgomery, so she's a Bama fan) lives in Pineville, Louisiana. Her mom saw that either my girlfriend's cousin or uncle (both are LSU fans) posted on Facebook the joke about confusing goal line chalk for anthrax. We all thought the joke was dumb considering they didn't score a touchdown against us.
Their overconfidence and arrogance is absolutely insane. There's nothing to indicate they win going away and Vegas agrees. In fact, if you take the current Bama line of -1 or - 1.5, and add back the 3 we would get for home advantage, Vegas feels more strongly this time than last that Bama wins. However, there's not one Bama out of 20 who's seriously saying Bama by 2 TDs. They're absolutely crazy, but then they specialize in that...
If I had tickets you could say anything you like to me. I don't need any fan base to teach me about the Tide!
Have fun, enjoy, relax in the FACT that we have a Very Good Team & so does LSU.
This is going to be a Great Game, so being there is really something special.

Yes, they can be obnoxious, but they can also be a whole lot of fun. You really have to just let the taunting roll off you like water off a duck's back. Give 'em a "Roll Tide," tell 'em how much you're looking forward to the game, and the more knowledgeable ones will give you some really good conversation. If they don't, then you know you've run into the more ignorant ones (which every fan base has), and you can be on your way.
Mostly, just have fun. If you focus on what they're doing rather than what you're trying to do, then you lose.

Your advice is good, and I think many of us behave this way all of the time. The people who normally have problems often bring a lot of it on themselves with what they deem a "witty" response or by "putting them in their place." We met some LSU folks in NOLA after last year's game and still contact them from time to time and plan on getting together with them again the next time we are down there. Yes, there are some complete jerks in all fan bases, but most people are just looking to support their team and have a good time.
That was what I thought too. After all, fish bait is used to catch fish. Alligator bait is used to catch gators. So tiger bait should logically be what is used to catch tigers. Tiger gumbo, anybody? Hahah
It's just fans being fans. Just ignore them and they will slide away. I remember very well Miami fans in 1992 were way more obnoxious and we all know how that turned out. Same with Tejas fans in 2009. Just smile and go on.
It's like the advice you get if you're nervous about given a speech before a big crowd.."Imagine everyone is in their underwear"..Just imagine that the LSU Fan talking trash looks like this..Laugh..Then go about your way..
Love that picture. It reminds me of an Alabama/LSU game that I attended in the late 70's. All of the LSU female fans were very stocky and a bit masculine in shape. By that I mean muscular. They were scary enough that I didn't try to engage them in conversation, or anything else.
There are quite a few heffers from swamp land, but it isn't fair to say every single one of them was. Honestly, we've got quite a few women with that description in Bama too.
Well according to Eric Reid (Tigers DB), he thinks LSU is the underdog.
Lost most people in America, nobody cares about what the corndogs say or do.

Is it a given that THAT is actually a female? We are talking about Nawlins. Confirmation please, but not by me. Roll Tide, Roll!:BigA:
