Unbelievably crass and well orchestrated. Kind of like duke basketball without the intellect....College football is better when LSU is good....

Yeah, that is when you're drunkenly thinking you are clever.

But you're just being really crass and rude.
Surprised the university hasn't put an end to that.
Not very "family environment".

I assume your censored word was an f-bomb.

Sadly, f-bombs are a preferred adjective in every day conversation with the under 30 crowd these days.

It's college football. Its not supposed to be a family environment, and never has been.
Remember, its "CLEMSON FAMILY", not "Clemson Family Friendly".
Let me remind you of the lyrics in Tiger Rag, the Cadence Count, the Rat Cheer, and many of the other Clemson traditions that started during our military days, days when is was very common to see a number of 4 letter words in college football chants. That hasn't changed and it shouldnt.
This southern baptist sunday school mentality some are starting to think Clemson is "all about" are incorrect. Clemson has always been a school with a trash talking fanbase ad always will be. Grated, Clemson culture has always felt a lot more sarcastic ad tongue-in-cheek as opposed to something like LSU's blatantly crass "SUCK THAT TIGER D*** B***!" chant from their song "Neck", but that doesnt change the fact that for 50+ years Clemson's spirit cheer was the "Rat Cheer", which is far more vulgar and only went away in the 1960's in favor of a less vulgar, but still profanity laden Cadence Count that we cheer today.
Nothing wrong with the trash talk and comical, Animal House-esque vulgarity that is common at college football. Its college, thats the point. If you want family friendly, go somewhere else.

It's a song their band used to play called "Neck" and the

student section came up with a charming chant to go with it involving a part of the "tiger anatomy."
They did it for about 10 years and then the band was told to stop playing it. They brought it back yesterday and all the LSU fans love it 'cause they're LSU fans... EDIT: Apparently the band didn't actually play "Neck," the fans just did the "Neck" chant a different song.
It's something classy the Gamecock student section would do if they were clever and coordinated enough to come up with original lyrics and sing them in unison.
ANOTHER EDIT:
Here's a write-up about it for the uninitiated:

Lets be careful what we mount our high horse about...

I was in Memorial Stadium in November of 2003 when Tommy and the Tigers finally got one over on Bobby Bowden.
It was the most electric night of football I have to this day witnessed, and was magical on several levels.
That said, a few times throughout the game, especially after the halftime refueling and once it was apparent that we were going to emerge victorious, every time the Seminole band started the war chant, it was met with the entire stadium doing the tomahawk chop with one finger extended and chanting "BLEEEEEEEEEEEP THE SEMINOOOOOOOOOLES". This wasn't the student section, it was everyone from 16-95 years old. Watching our tapes of the game was a treat.
Meh. Just more people getting mad about things that don't need to be got mad about.

Everyone? The entire stadium? No, not even close. I too was in the stadium that memorable November night. I fell between the age of 16-95 as did everyone on my row of my 10 season tickets. I assure you no one in our area participated in the chant that you speak of. Yes, many did the backwards tomahawk chop but don't paint with such a broad brush. It does make me angry when we're compared to other truly obnoxious fan bases. We have our bad segments but just not true that it's the majority. And I speak as an expert, only missed 2 home games and attended over 200 away games in the last 50 years.

Not saying that we're an obnoxious fanbase nor that others aren't.
Just saying that it's yet something else that people are getting mad about that isn't worth getting mad about.
At the end of the day, who #### cares? If you thing LSU or Bama are stadiums full of obnoxious idiots (they might be), then just don't go see games there. Pretty simple stuff, really. Spend your emotional energy cheering on the Tigers rather than getting butthurt about what some 18 year olds do 400 miles away from you.

I'm in that camp that thinks the song is hilarious. No one can be shielded totally from crass language their whole lives whether it's 1958 or 2018.
Football is a violent game, rivalries are bitter. And when you have a chant like that, it just pours salt in the wound.
I get why people don't like it, and maybe I'd change if I had a young child, but I can see the fun in it.
