LSU, the school that had to ban its marching band from playing a song because that was the only way to stop its fans from yelling “Suck that tiger dick, bitch!” in unison, would like everybody to keep decorum at sporting events.

Security has surrounded the Vandy Whistler — Adam Sparks (@AdamSparks) May 25, 2019

That’s right: LSU, the school that has no issue with continuing to employ a basketball coach who was caught on a federal wiretap discussing paying an amateur basketball player “the rookie minimum” with an agent, narced on the Vanderbilt Whistler because whistling at a baseball game is going too far.

Security walking away. Vandy Whistler celebrating. Vandy fans cheering. LSU fans booing. They wanted him gone (not sure what for) — Adam Sparks (@AdamSparks) May 25, 2019

“Not sure what for” is a hell of a qualifier; we know exactly why LSU wanted him gone. LSU, the school whose football stadium once got so loud that it registered on the Richter scale, wanted a fan kicked out of a baseball game for whistling.

Vandy Whistler has moved to a different section - I think voluntarily - and trying to rev up crowd there now. — Adam Sparks (@AdamSparks) May 25, 2019

Fans in line high-5-ing Vandy Whistler. And some are taking photos with him.



Keep in mind, this is one of the whistlers - Jeff Pack. The other is Preacher Franklin (different whistling cadence). — Adam Sparks (@AdamSparks) May 25, 2019

And of course, it backfired spectacularly — not just in terms of the Whistler, who is still in the ballpark, but in terms of the scoreboard, which is currently 7-1 in Vanderbilt’s favor.

Louisiana: the place where apparently the one thing they won’t tolerate is whistling.
