Just one month after a huge campaign to get LSU Tigers fans to clean up their act, foul language from fans is back in the headlines.

The Advocate reports that Louisiana State University fans were secretly filmed by school Athletics Department officials who clocked them singing inappropriate lyrics, which they'd spent months trying to stamp out.

The vulgar words go along with the Tigers so called "fight" songs such as Neck and Tiger Rag, tunes that the team band the Golden Band of Tiger Land had been banned from playing.

The restriction was lifted ahead of last month's game against the Aggies in an attempt to boost fans' volume at the game. Thousands of flyers and stickers were handed out to try and ensure that the fans kept it clean, top players even issued a plea for restraint.

"The only way we can do this is if you, the students keep it classy and clean," said Odell Beckham Jr. in a promo video.

But it seems the fans could couldn't keep it under wraps, as some were filmed singing the controversial lyrics anyway. They could now face being banned from the stadium.

"You enter into a contract when you go to games," says Craig Freeman from LSU School of Mass Communication.

While he thinks changing song lyrics could be protected under the rules of free speech, he says if the Athletics department decides fans' actions breach their code of conduct, they could end up singing in the parking lot instead of on the stands.
