LSU football, a road trip, and TikTok entering a bar… stop me if you’ve heard this one before

I’m not a fan of Louisiana State University (LSU) collegiate athletic teams. Dot. I’m a fan of the University of Alabama’s Crimson Tide football team, which incessantly competes with LSU to be crowned Southeastern Conference champions. I need this to be very, very clear.

Having said that, I also love entertainment, and while Alabama has hosted (or been within the conversation for) college football championships for years, LSU does the identical, but in addition holds a place within the hearts and minds of football players – watching the group in a fun post-touchdown celebration.

Apparently the social media world agrees, because LSU football celebrations (I feel we have began calling them “cellys”) have gone viral on TikTok. If you are wading into the TikTok waters in any respect, you’ve probably come across videos of youngsters jumping outside or doing a dance called “trip”, which largely just spins rapidly; you possibly can add various other steps depending on your personal level of coordination and creativity.

Do you recognize who else is absolutely good at this? Members of the LSU Tigers football team who often appear in videos AND are imitated by other protesters the way it should be Down be on LSU Tigers football team. And you recognize what? It looks quite cheerful. I won’t hold you. I walked across the house also pretending I used to be a member of the LSU football team who had just caught a touchdown pass.

Lifestyle

Here’s the thing: This dance went viral not only due to LSU, but in addition due to all of the individuals who jumped into the kitchen to make their very own versions. For example, the primary time I saw someone “come out” was a funny movie that’s now famous No. 48, who tripped it up in support of my friend. I had no idea I used to be watching a kid turn into a legend, but here we’re.

You know, it must be said that through the years, so many individuals – each purists and haters – have tried to steal the enjoyment from children across the country who felt forced to have a good time in the long run zone. Fines and the like were imposed for excessive celebration, even to the purpose of introducing rules restricting certain behaviors; there was a time when celebration deemed “too excessive” could end in a penalty on the judge’s discretion. This is crazy to me; these kids are playing some type of game, and meaning whenever you do something amazing, the primary response is often joy. I assume the NCAA, the governing body of faculty athletics, has come to its senses and allowed dancing and the like so long as it is not too mean to the opponent.

That little bit of daylight has opened the door for youthful creativity to flourish, with athletes on the sphere doing the dances which have taken TikTok and other social media platforms by storm and incorporating them into their touchdown celebrations. I feel the world is a higher place for it. So I hope these kids keep dancing and encourage the social media world to share their moments of glory.

Even if LSU becomes a face on social media for now. Like all the nice things happening at LSU, I imagine it’s only a matter of time before Alabama gets the enjoyment.

Tidal wave.
