Letter from SG President Colorado Robertson, Cheerleading Captain Jamie Mascari and Tiger Band Drum Major Rob Dowie:
Dear Students,
Congratulations to our football team on a big win in Tiger Stadium Saturday over the Tulane Green Wave. We hope that everyone enjoyed another great Saturday night in Death Valley!
After weeks of lobbying on behalf of the students, and with cooperation from the band department, we are proud to announce that the “Oh-Wee-Oh” chant will be reinstated this Saturday at our home game against the Alabama Crimson Tide. The lyrics will now be: “Oh-wee-oh! Tigers!”
The “Oh-Wee-Oh” chant will be allowed under the condition that students will act in true sportsmanship and positively support our team. Remember, we will continue to work to keep the traditions that for so many years have made Tiger Stadium one of the most dynamic places to play in the country. However, it is now your hands to keep the “Oh-wee-oh” Chant in the lineup for games to come.
This is bound to be the season’s most electrifying game. We hope that students will come to the stadium excited and ready to cheer our Tigers onto victory! Forever LSU!
SG President: New chant is “Oh-Wee-Oh! Tigers!”
