Fantastic thread over at the Tiger Rant--Remembering Tiger Fans we've lost →
Great thread remembering LSU fans we’ve lost who’ll be cheering the Tigers on from the best seats in the house. My grandfather died in 2006, and he was one of the hugest LSU fans in the state. He loved Billy Cannon, and always talked about the good old days listening to the games on the radio out in the car because the car got better reception. I went to only one LSU game with him, when I was too young to enjoy it, back in the 90s, then I went to LSU myself. He got really sick in the 2000s, but he lived to see the 2003 title. At that point, though, he couldn’t remember much, and really couldn’t even remember that he loved LSU most of the time. But I know he’s absolutely loving this decade, and he will finally have great seats at a Tiger game and won’t need his binoculars this time. Geaux Tigers! Forever LSU!
Tomorrow we’ll discover what our God in Heaven has in store…one more dawn…one more day….ONE DAY MOOO-OOOOO-OOOOOOOOOREEEEEE!!!!!!!!
GAMEDAY TOMORROW. THE WAITING IS FINALLY OVER.
LSU’s Golden Band from TigerLand plays halftime at the New Orleans Saints-Detroit Lions game Saturday. I love this. It makes me feel like Louisiana is one big family. And if you listen to how many people in the Dome know every tic and chant of the crowd participation steps in the pre-game show, it’s even more clear how much overlap there is between the fan groups! GEAUX. TI. GERS.
Geaux Tigers
Every time someone texts me, I get a tiny spark of hope that it’s someone offering me a title game ticket. And every time it isn’t, a tiny part of me dies.

HONEYBADGER DONT GIVE A SHIT!!!!
You guys. We are 13-0. We are being widely discussed as one of the best teams in several decades. I just…I… I am just speechless with delight. I am savoring this. LSU has never gone undefeated in my lifetime. They may never do it again in my lifetime. The last time they did it, my dad was 6. We may never see another team this great in our lifetimes. (Incidentally, apropos of nothing, but MAN I wish my Paw-paw had lived to see this year. He would have freaking loved this!) It has been an honor and and a privilege to be a fan of this team this year! What an amazing season! GEAUX FREAKING TIGERS! 13-EAUX!
LSU: Alabama State Champs 2011!
Geaux tigers, the most professional nail polish way to say that.
