Other than "Rammer Jammer", does anything sound more ignorant than "Gig 'em"?

When you are hearing the majority of those things, it isn't good for LSU, so I suppose all of them would be equally annoying. And we all know what shuts that up, winning.

The fact that we let the cousin f'ers from Tuscaloser come away with another win in Baton Rouge at night, got blown out by the plainsmen, put Moo U on the map this season, and gave R-kansas fans something to storm the field over is pretty damn sickening, if you ask me.

1000000000 % agree. This year has killed my liver more than another. Angry drinking is bad.......sometimes.

I question the orientation of any program that doesn't have female cheerleaders. Hint: what does 'Ags' rhyme with?

There is one thing I do miss about the 80s. Passing game of Hodson to Wendall Davis with Dalton Hillard and Gary James running the ball.

I thought the Aggies big deal was "butt hurt!"

That rings pretty true with the gay corps.

We did a hell of a lot better than 59-0 against all of our opponents this season, so there is that. Anyway, A&M is stupid and annoying.

When we start trying to feel better by comparing margin of loss with other teams it's time to either A) get our crap together B) get a new coach or C) turn stadium into worlds largest strip club. I kind of like C

Still sounds ridiculous, and now I've wasted 30 seconds to read about it...
Rather than end a conversation with "goodbye", many conversations between Aggies end with "gig 'em", usually accompanied by a thumbs up. This tradition began at a 1930 Midnight Yell Practice held before the football game against the Texas Christian University Horned Frogs. In an attempt to excite the crowd, Pinky Downs, a 1906 Texas A&M graduate and member of the school's Board of Regents, asked "What are we going to do to those Horned Frogs?"[13] Using a term for frog hunting, he answered his own question, "Gig 'em, Aggies!"[13] For emphasis, he made a fist with the thumb extended. The phrase and hand signal proved popular, and it became the first hand sign of the Southwest Conference.[13] Gig 'em is also the name of one of the school yells, which is used during football kickoffs.[14]

The university's traditions council recognizes another possible origin for the expression. The word "gig" is used in the US Army to indicate an infraction of the uniform code, and the A&M cadets used the same vocabulary. New cadets would quickly learn to fear being "gigged" during inspection for having unshined shoes, unpolished brass, or a non-aligned "gig line".[15]

'Midnight yell practice' ? Isn't that the 'corps' code word for 'oily male only sex orgy'??

That Hotty Totty thing is the worst. I was at the the game in Oxford when we lost at the last second with Jordan Jefferson. Ugh! I heard them shout that so many times that I have a seething hatred for it. It still makes me want to punch a baby every time I hear it. God I hate Ole Miss.

You can't really 'hate' ole miss - too many hot women

They probably sit around in a circle disgussing the nuances of pork sword swallowing.
