Here's a note to our Pres from a local restaurateur--
Map to Baymeadows and 9A

Hello Gene,
Yes, at Times Grill, we are proud to serve the Tiger Burger in our restaurants everyday. It is a crowd favorite and features our World Famous half pound burger topped with cheese fries, crumbled bacon and shaved red onions. Most guests enjoy it with an icy cold Abita draft. Now, wouldn’t that be the perfect LSU gameday meal?
If you are not familiar with Times Grill, let me tell you a little about us. Our restaurant was founded in 1994 in Louisiana and we now have locations in Mandeville, Slidell and Baton Rouge. Our founder and CBO (Chief Burger Officer), Shearn Lemoine, is an LSU grad and, therefore, a die-hard LSU fan. (Not to mention the fact that every Times Grill teammate is Louisiana cheers on the Tigers.)
We recently opened restaurants in Jacksonville and Pensacola, Florida. It would please us greatly if you would consider our Jacksonville restaurant as your home for alumni club meetings and to watch the games. We have lots of flat screens in our bar and dining room. We are conveniently located at Baymeadows and 9A.
I have attached our menu to whet your appetite. I really do look forward to speaking with you soon. Thanks for your consideration.

Geaux Tigers!!

Tiger Oath for 2007
Contributed by another faithful fan of the Tigers...
Lest we forget, here is the newly updated LSU Tiger Fan Oath. Please place your right hand on a photo of the dearly departed Mike V and repeat after me...
I, ________________, solemnly swear to do the following in 2007-08 to ensure that I remain a member of the most passionate, intimidating, and sometimes scary fan base known to mankind.
I agree to DO the following:
1. I will always cheer for LSU in sound levels that would make a banshee proud.... and deaf. I will agree to do this whether in Tiger Stadium, at an opposing stadium, in front of a TV, at a bar/restaurant, or at a friend's/family member's wedding/funeral with strategically placed ear phones. I will also cheer like a rabid dog running rabbits whenever "The Golden Band From Tiger Land" plays their pre-game opening notes that send chills up my spine and make the visiting fans cower in abject fear!
2. I will wear purple and gold to games. I will NOT, however, under any circumstances wear purple and gold camouflage overalls, pants, or hats.....except if you are from Calcasieu or Beauregard Parishes. (You do still have to wear pants, Billy!)
3. Speaking of not wearing camouflage overalls, don't wear overalls at all. If that's all you own, you might need to examine the fact that you might be a Mississippi St. fan or a member of Dexy's Midnight Runners. (that last one should date you pretty well if you think they're one of those "mod" bands!!)
4. I will continue to tailgate in a way that is representative of my school's perennial National Champions of Tailgating title. This means good food, good music, lots of alcohol, and great people.
5. When tailgating, I will not devote more time to a centerpiece than I do for preparing food. If this is the case, I might as well become an Ole Miss fan. They are big believers of style without substance.
6. I will invite visiting fans to our tailgate spot and give them a hard time before taking them in as one of our own, feeding them, and getting them drunk.
7. I will NOT act in a way that promotes the negative stereotype that LSU has bad fans. "TIGER BAIT, TIGER BAIT, TIGER BAIT" is a perfectly good cheer that is in keeping with good fansmanship. F*#*A$%H&@S#^&*O#$%@@B!#***# does not constitute good anything!!
8. I will NOT boo our players while at games. I can boo college coaches and NFL players and coaches but NOT college kids. Remember, if they don't receive a paycheck, I can't boo them. I can, however, boo Alabama players because they all get paid and Saban's fate is in his own hands.
9. I will not leave a game before the 5 min. mark in the 4th qtr unless LSU is up by 21 or more, and I/someone with me is: vomiting, bleeding, and/or stricken with hysterical blindness. Beating traffic is not a viable excuse until I reach age 40.....Let's make that 80!!!
10. I will continue to believe that Mike the Tiger's roaring before a game has everything to do with his school spirit and nothing to do with a human in a tiger costume that Mike can't stand. I also pray that we have a Mike VI before the home game kick-off and that he has the roar down pat!
11. I will stop trying to start a wave. Waves are for soccer or Tulane fans, and are only permitted if LSU is up by +35.
12. I will cheer for our team on offense but only when the play is over, the team needs to be able to hear when in the huddle and when lining up for the snap. On defense, I will constantly scream at the top of my lungs, like Lindsay Lohan just out of rehab...again, and again, and again....
