Can someone please explain this to me, besides being an obvious rip-off of Florida's "Gator Bait", the 'insult' appears to be logically inconsistent.
Take the Sugar Bowl for example. If Notre Dame was regarded as "Tiger Bait", this would imply that they would get quite literally consumed by LSU. However, as anyone who's ever gone fishing knows, you use bait to catch (and possibly kill) something. To wit, a worm is "Fish Bait" which gets eaten by the fish, but then the fish gets stuck on a hook, filleted, and fried. In the particular example of Tiger Bait, a scene from The Swiss Family Robinson comes to mind. Remember when they hang some meat over a pit to catch a tiger? The meat serves as the bait, but the tiger doesn't even get any of it!
Basically what I'm trying to discern here is why LSU fans would chant something that, while implying that they will destroy their opponent, also implies their own destruction?

If you want to see what happens to Tiger bait, watch the Sugar Bowl Again
Despite if the bait leads the Tigers into a trap, they destroy it simply b/c you can't stop the tigers

Obviously you are not a LSU fan, so you wouldn't understand. After your team plays LSU, you will have a good concept of what it means to be TIGER BAIT!

This question is totally illogical.
