If there's one thing you can say about LSU its that the Tigers seemingly set the culture and every program in the Country quickly wants to adopt LSU's traditions as their own. Over the past few years, team after team has copied LSU to the point where we wouldn't be surprised if more schools started wearing purple and gold, calling their stadium Death Valley, and housing a Tiger on their campus.

One thing that has been a constant at LSU is players throwing up the L whether its on a recruiting trip, in a game, or anywhere else. Then, Alabama's Jalen Milroe and Terrion Arnold started a brand called "Lank" that has led to Alabama players, coaches, and fans constantly throwing up the L.

This shouldn't come as a surprise as Alabama is the school that has adopted a song about Tennessee and gets upset anytime anyone points that fact out.

After beating LSU in the season opener, USC decided to celebrate in the locker room to Get the Gat ripping off LSU and people had the urge to say the team had some 2019 LSU to them, the Trojans finished 6-6.

The latest to attempt to rip off LSU is the Texas Longhorns in maybe the most blatant offense yet. The Longhorns are looking to start a tradition of handing the number 7, a tradition that is very clearly LSU's.

They often say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery but, in the cases of these other college football programs it just comes off as lame.
