Les Miles disputes Katy Perry’s joke about Tiger Stadium smelling like corn dogs
Les Miles may want Katy Perry to take a smell test.
Miles’ LSU Tigers host Ole Miss on Saturday and three weeks ago, when ESPN’s College GameDay was at Ole Miss, Perry served as the show’s celebrity guest picker. (Her manager is an Ole Miss alum)
During her segment, Perry broke out corn dogs, a gag in reference to a joke popularly utilized by Ole Miss fans that says LSU’s Tiger Stadium smells like corn dogs.
GameDay is at LSU on Saturday and so Perry came up during Miles’ Wednesday press conference. He was unaware of what Perry had done.
“No, what happened?” Miles asked when the topic was brought up. “She likes corn dogs?”
He was then told about the gag. “Did she? Oh no she didn’t,” Miles said.

After further explanation of the joke, Miles laughed and disagreed.
“I guess there’s things to talk about that are important and things that are not, right?” Miles said. “I’d have to say that people who make observations about how other people smell based on the fact that their nose doesn’t work well. I guess if that’s the issue — I want you to know one thing and I’ll say it very honestly. I have gone to Tiger Stadium and never smelled corn dogs.”
If you’re at Tiger Stadium on Saturday, please capture the air and send us a smell sample. We need to settle this immediately.
