What does STTDB stand for?

In the realm of college football fandom, chants and cheers often play a significant role in energizing the crowd and creating a spirited atmosphere. However, there are certain chants that push the boundaries of acceptable behavior and provoke controversy. One such chant that has gained notoriety is STTDB.

STTDB is an acronym for "S*ck That Tiger D*ck, B**ch." It is a chant that originated within the student section of Louisiana State University (LSU) football games. The chant typically occurs when the LSU marching band performs their rendition of the song "Neck." The controversial nature of the chant lies in its explicit and derogatory language, directed towards opposing teams and their fans.

During the National Championship game, which took place on January 13, 2020, between LSU and their opponent, the LSU Tigers sealed their victory with Joe Burrow's fifth touchdown pass of the game. In the midst of the celebration, the LSU student section erupted with excitement and began chanting the infamous STTDB phrase. Unfortunately, ESPN's broadcast captured this moment, airing the entire LSU student section chanting "S**k That Tiger D**k, B**ch!" This resulted in widespread attention and sparked further discussions about the chant's appropriateness and ESPN's decision to air it.

ESPN's decision to broadcast the chant drew mixed reactions from viewers and fans. Some argued that airing the chant demonstrated a lack of professionalism on ESPN's part and exposed younger viewers to explicit language. Critics contended that the chant goes against the principles of sportsmanship and decency that should be upheld during a nationally televised event. On the other hand, some defended ESPN's coverage, citing the need for authenticity and reflecting the intense atmosphere of the game.
