LSU FIRST COAST TIGERS

BCS Championship Game - Monday 1/9 @ 8:30 p.m.

2012-01-03T19:46:00.000-08:00

It's been a great holiday season and I'm sure we all stocked up on plenty of purple and gold goodies. But don't forget to breakout your good luck jersey, shirt, hat, etc. to watch the BIG GAME on Monday January 9th at 8:30 p.m. We will be at Hurricane Grill & Wings (Baymeadows Road and 9A) to watch the exciting re-match of LSU v. 'Bama.

The game should be legendary. I predict higher scoring than the regular season game. The Dome should be rocking with plenty of Tiger fans, as well as the 'Bama crowd. But I think our Tigers can handle the noise. I hope to see the Honey Badger step up and do something spectacular, plus a rotation between Jefferson and Lee to keep the Tide confused.

Hope to see you all there. Come early to get a good seat.

GEAUX TIGERS, LOVE PURPLE LIVE GOLD -------BEAT BAMA-------

SEC Championship Game - LSU v. UGA - Saturday, Dec. 3rd @ 4:00 p.m.

2011-12-01T18:58:00.000-08:00

Tigers are 12 - 0, SEC West Division Champs and headed to the SEC Championship Game. The slow start against Arkansas was a bit worrisome but it was great to see the team quickly rally. Now the Tigers just need to take care of business against the Bulldogs. The game should be very loud with the GeorgiaDome packed with Dawg fans. Of course, LSU is no stranger to that setting and have come to know it as our second home. The atmosphere should be electric. But for those not traveling to the game, come out and watch with the First Coast LSU group. We will be at Hurricane Grill and Wings (Baymeadows and 9A). Come and cheer.

GEAUX TIGERS, LOVE PURPLE, LIVE GOLD.

LSU #1, LEADING THE SEC DOMINATION OF THE BCS

2011-11-22T07:57:00.000-08:00

With the SEC West dominating the BCS polls at 1 -2 -3, our Tigers are looking very good. This weekend is a must-win game to make it to the SEC Championship game. The "Battle for the Golden Boot' should be a good game. This should be a strong offensive and defensive game. LSU is picked as the favorite by 2 touchdowns.

Come join the 1st Coast Tigers for our final regular season game. We'll be at Hurricane's Grill & Wings on Baymeadows Road at 9A, in the Publix shopping center. Kickoff is at 2:30, so bring the family out; avoid the Black Friday shopping and enjoy some quality time.

GEAUX TIGERS, LOVE PURPLE, LIVE GOLD.

LSU v. Ole Miss - Sat. 11/19 @ 7:00 p.m.

2011-11-16T20:35:00.001-08:00

The LSU Tigers are still #1 and looking strong. Last week was a slow start against the Hilltoppers but managed to excel in the second half. Now we are taking on the Ole Miss Rebels in the Magnolia Bowl. Although the Rebs are only 2 - 8, this perennial match up could have some excitement. This is the 100th meeting between the Tigers and Rebels.

The game starts at 7:00 p.m. ET on Saturday, so come join us at Hurricane's Grill and Wings (Baymeadows Road and 9A, in the Publix shopping plaza).

HOMECOMING - LSU v. Western Kentucky - 11/12/11 @ 7:00 p.m.

2011-11-08T17:52:00.000-08:00

LSU Tigers are still #1. It has been a great season, especially beating 'Bama this past week. This weekend the Tigers will be taking on the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers for their Homecoming game. The Hilltoppers are 5 - 4 (5-1 in the Sunbelt). After last weeks nail-biter, lets up the Tigers don't have a let down and are ready to take care of business.

We will be watching the game at Hurricane's Grill and Wings (10920 Baymeadows Road, Jacksonville, FL 32256). The game starts at 7:00 p.m. ET. It will be on ESPNU for us to watch.

And I apologize for being remiss in my postings for this page. Its been a very busy Fall for me and time keeps getting away.

I hope we have a big crowd for the game this Saturday. Come out and join us.

LOVE PURPLE, LIVE GOLD - GEAUX TIGERS!

Oh - and here are pics of our newest Tiger Fans!!!

#1 Tigers take on the Volunteers

2011-10-12T19:46:00.001-07:00

It's been a great week in J'ville, at least from my perspective. With LSU still #1 and having defeated the Gators, things have been quiet from the normal braggarts. And I've made sure to wear something with LSU on it every time I leave the house.

This week, we face the Volunteers. Sure, they are not having a great year and just lost to Georgia. But the last time Tennessee played LSU when it was ranked #1, they beat them. So this game cannot be taken lightly.

Kickoff for this game is at 3:39 p.m. on Saturday. We will be gathering to watch the game at Hurricane's Grill and Wings (Baymeadows Road and 9A). I hope you can make it. It's always fun to have a big crowd when cheering on the Tigers.

GEAUX TIGERS. LOVE PURPLE, LIVE GOLD.

#1 Tigers v. Gators - Rival Time in the River City

2011-10-06T19:09:00.000-07:00

It's that time of year again, when we get to tease our friends and co-workers, make ridiculous and potentially embarrassing bets and plan for an exciting Saturday. I know a lot of you are planning on going to B.R. for the game. Safe travels and remember, be good hosts to the guests in our house.

For those of you staying home, why not meet us at Hurricane's Grill & Wings (Baymeadows Rd. & 9A), to watch the game among friends and rivals. We know that there will probably be a big Gator crowd there, as anywhere in Jacksonville, but we should have a nice group of people to watch with. Safety in numbers. Kickoff is at 3:30, so get there early to get a good seat.

So let's get together and cheer on our #1 Tigers as they take on the Gators. It could be an exciting game. As someone keeps pointing out to me, the last time the Gators traveled to Louisiana to play a higher ranked Tiger team, with a brand new freshman quarterback, the Gators won. That was with Chris Leake. And as I point out, we won the National Championship that year. I don't think the Gators will have the same kind of luck this year but it should be fun.

BTW, this is the "Gold" game in Tiger stadium, so where your gold tops.

GEUAX TIGERS, LOVE PURPLE, LIVE GOLD.

LOUISIANA WEEKEND IN JACKSONVILLE

2011-09-29T19:27:00.000-07:00

The LSU Tigers are #1 and exciting things are happening. Jordan Jefferson is back at practice, along with Josh Johns. This weekend the Tigers face the Kentucky Wildcats and, although Kentucky did not play well last weekend against Florida, I am slightly concerned about this game. After all, kickoff is in the A.M. on LSU's campus which is not our favorite time to play. However, we are looking strong. The Defense needs to step up the pass rush a bit before next weekends match-up the Gators, but we'll worry about that later.

Now, its just getting organized to come out and join us at Hurricane's Grill and Wings on Baymeadows Road at 9A for the 12:20 kickoff of the game.

To add to our great weekend and the "cool" front coming in, Cool Brees and the New Orleans Saints will be in town taking on the Jaguars on Sunday. I know we will have lots of out of town guests from home and many local Tigers have gotten their tickets for the game. Trying to hook up with those interested in tailgating. We are going to get their early to get a spot in the WJCT lot. Let me know where you are going to be.

Let's have a great GOLD weekend, with a little bit of purple and black missed in.

GEAUX TIGERS, LOVE PURPLE, LIVE GOLD and

LSU #2 in AP Poll - Ready for the Demons

2011-09-07T19:07:00.000-07:00

What an exciting game last Saturday. The Defense stood up and did what was needed, plus a solid performance by the offense (and former Wampus Cat, Michael Ford), help LSU beat Oregon and move up in the AP poll to #2 and in the Coaches' poll to #3.

Now we are ready to take on the Northwestern State Demons. This is the home opener, so there should be a lot of electricity about it. I don't know about you, but I have a lot of friends from both sides going to the game. Unfortunately, I will not be able to make it, so I'm going to join by Jacksonville friends at Hurricane's Grill & Wings (10920 Baymeadows Road, Jacksonville, FL).

We had a great crowd last week. Hurricanes were wonderful hosts and had the place running well. We will have designated televisions and Abita beer specials. Come out and join us.

GEAUX TIGERS!! LOVE PURPLE, LIVE GOLD!!

2011-08-29T18:46:00.000-07:00

College Football Season is here! The Tigers will open up the season against the Oregon Ducks at Cowboy Stadium in Arlington, Texas on Saturday, September 3, 2011, 8:00 p.m. ET.

For those of us not traveling to Texas for the game, we will be meeting at Hurricanes Grill and Wings at Baymeadows & 9A to watch the game. It is in the Publix Shopping Center where Baymeadows reaches 9A. The address is 10920 Baymeadows Road, Jacksonville, FL 32256. They have gotten Abita Purple Haze and Abita Andy Gator beer for us.

Please come join us for an exciting time. I look forward to kicking off the year with a great group and an exciting game.

2011 Football - Here We Come!

2011-08-19T07:59:00.000-07:00

Football season is fast approaching and I, for one, am getting very excited. LSU is ranked in the top 5 starting the season and predicted by some to win the Championship this year.

The season will start off with a great game against Oregon, which is being played in the mega-dome in Dallas. For those not able or willing to travel to Texas to watch the game, the First Coast LSU Tigers will be gathering at a new location this season. We will be a Hurricane Grill & Wings at 10920 Baymeadows Road, Jacksonville, FL 32256, to watch the game. Kickoff is at 8:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 3rd. Hurricane's is located on Baymeadows Road near 9A, in the Publix Shopping Center (across from where Times Grill was).

Come out and join us.

Love Purple, Live Gold.

GAME VIEWINGS AT TIMES GRILL

2010-11-03T20:05:00.000-07:00

I've been remiss this season in posting but it has been an exciting season. Tigers have managed to win in some very interesting ways. Although they haven't always looked good they are getting better and keeping us on edge.

Tiger Fans have been joining us at Times Grill on Baymeadows Road at 9A. Its great to see old friends and meet new ones. Come see who you know or who is knew that comes from the same area as you. We've even had a couple of former Tiger players stop by to watch with us. You never know who will be there

Tigers play Alabama this weekend and are still in the running to win the SEC-West. Come cheer them on.

Hope to see you there.

2010 Football Season - Here We Are!

2010-08-31T20:30:00.000-07:00

Tiger Fans, it's that time. The air is starting to cool (somewhere, but not here), the kids are back in school, and a boy's mind turns to .... FOOTBALL. The girls' minds go there, too. The season is about to kickoff and we are ready for fun and excitement and a winning season.

Again this year, our football viewings will be hosted by Times Grill on Baymeadows Road at 9A. The first game is this Saturday, September 4th at 8:00 p.m. against University of North Carolina Tarheels.

Please join us to watch this and all the games. GEAUX TIGERS!!!!!

What A Season - Football 2009

2009-12-01T17:57:00.000-08:00

Well, we survived this football season with a few miracles and a lot of nail-biters. The Tigers ended up ranked #13 in the BCS, with a 9-3 record.

It looks like we may get a decent Bowl bid and I will keep you posted on that.

Stay tuned and return for updates on what is happening, locally.

Finishing Strong

2009-11-12T15:32:00.000-08:00

Last week was a heartbreaker. Conspiracy theorist abound. And although I dont' belive there is a conpsiracy (come on, they're not that smart), I do think the SEC referees need some more training.

That being said, we've had really good participation in the viewing for the LSU games. I hope everyone is having a good time; I know I am. We've got more t-shirts to give away, courtesy of the Times Grill. So everyone needs to come out and support the Tigers through the end of the season.

Below are pics from this years viewing:

LSU v. Tulane - Halloween 2009

2009-11-01T18:36:00.000-08:00

Thanks to those who joined us for Halloween night to watch LSU beat up on Tulane. The winner of the costume was the Brick House. Here a couple of frights from the night.

Halloween - LSU v. Tulane

2009-10-28T19:48:00.000-07:00

We've been having a good turn out this year for the football viewing. And this Halloween, we will have a truly scary event -- the LSU/Tulane game. Not available at your homes, we will have it at the Times Grill (Baymeadows at 9A) for all to see. Come out and join us for what should be a fun game. Wear your costumes! There will be a tee-shirt give-away but only to those in costume.

Kickoff is at 8:00 p.m. Its on TigerVision. Come early to get a good seat.

Hope to see you there.

Geaux Tigers.

LSU v. Georgia - 10/3/09 @ 3:30 p.m.

2009-09-30T19:30:00.000-07:00

Hey Tiger Fans, the season is heating up. With the Tigers ranked a disputed #4 in the polls, we are getting into the heart of the season. This weekend the Tigers travel to Athens to take on #18 Georgia. This game should be a good one. The offensive line and defensive line will need to prove themselves to so can maintain our ranking. The game is at 3:30 on Saturday on CBS -- but isn't it more fun to hang around others dressed in purple and gold to watch the game, then sitting on your sofa, yelling at the TV by yourself. Come out and join us at Times Grille on Baymeadows Road at 9A. I recommend getting there a little early to get a good seat.

And don't forget ... anyone in the Orange Park area on Saturday may want to stop by the Farmer's Market at the mall and pick up some good cajun cooking from King Creole Catering and tell Shawn hi.

Hope to see y'all Saturday and Geaux Tigers!!!

LSU v. U-LaLa - Satuday, Sept. 19th at 7:00 p.m.

2009-09-17T18:39:00.000-07:00

Tiger Fans, LSU is now ranked #9 or #7 in the polls after their win over Vandy, depending on which one you read. I pick #7. This weekend we take on University of Louisiana - Lafayette (aka ULaLa, USL, SLI). This should be a fun game. The Ragin' Cajuns are undefeated but LSU is 20-0 against non-conference teams under Les Miles. Tigers are still suffering from a couple of injuries and expect shuffling of the back field as Ridley is expected to be back in action.

We will be a Times Grill on Baymeadows Road at 9A to watch the game. Come out and join the crowd.

LSU vs. Vanderbilt - Satuday, Sept.12 at 7:00 p.m.

2009-09-09T19:51:00.000-07:00

Tiger Fans -

We had a great turnout to watch the Tigers play cat-and-mouse with Washington last Saturday, for a late night game, from what I hear. I hope you all didn't find it as painful to watch as I did. But we did get a win and managed to remain number 11 in the polls.

This Saturday, the Tigers take on the perennial academic favorite, Vanderbilt, at 7:00 p.m. This could be a good game, given Vanderbilt's improvement on the football field and their 45-0 win last week over Western Carolina.

Please join us at Times Grill on Baymeadows Road at 9A. It be nice to have a good turnout for what hopefully will be stronger showing by the Tigers.

Hope to see you there and Geaux Tigers!!!!!

If you're going to the Peach Bowl and are looking for other events and a place to stay, this may be for you:

-----------------------------

Hello,

I received your contact information through the LSU Alumni Association. My name is Josh Weiner and I am the Senior Event Manager for a large scale event planning organization, Lindy Promotions, Inc.

On December 31st, we will be hosting our annual “Downtown Countdown” New Year’s Eve party at the Hyatt Regency Atlanta; it’s just a few blocks from the Georgia Dome and in the heart of Downtown Atlanta.

The Downtown Countdown is an extravagant, all-inclusive party that features open bars, food buffets, and wide array of entertainment including multiple bands, DJ’s, and comedians. This party is the perfect way to ring in the new year, and celebrate a LSU victory in the Chick-Fil-A Bowl.

Each year we sell special discounted tickets specifically for fans attending the bowl game. The only difference from a regular ticket is that your entry time starts at 11pm (right about when the bowl game will be ending).

Purchasing a ticket also allows you the ability to reserve rooms at the Hyatt Regency for a substantially reduced price of $165/night. A ticket to the party, plus a nights hotel stay would only be $240 ($75 + $165). This is still considerably cheaper than a nights stay anywhere else I’ve been able to find downtown, and you get access to the biggest New Years party in Atlanta.

I was looking to find out the best ways to be able to alert the many LSU Alumni in your group that may be making the trip for the game. Any help that you would be able to provide is greatly appreciated.

All of the information about the party can be found on the event website:
http://www.downtowncountdown.net/atlanta/welcome.htm

I can be reached by email, or by phone at xxx.xxx.xxxx to discuss this further.

I look forward to hearing back from you.

Best Regards,

Josh Weiner

If anyone is interested, please let me know and I will send you the phone number contact information for Mr Weiner via email.

LSU Poem

2007-12-06T19:05:00.000-08:00

LSU Poem

Twenty four days before Christmas, in a state in the south,
Les Miles was pissed as he opened his mouth.
“Miles to Michigan ,” was reported as fact.
To which Miles responded, “Herbie, you don’t know jack!”

The Tigers had suffered a gut wrenching loss,
At the hands of McFadden and the rest of the hogs.
And Bo in his sweatshirt, and Miles in his Hat.
Were determined to prove they were better than that!

When the Tennessee Vols ran out on the field,
There were ruckus applause from the mentally ill.
Still in the locker room, Les told his team,
“This season ain’t over. We still have a dream.”

The hurt throwing arm of QB Matt Flynn
Meant Ryan was the man they put their faith in.
Then the fans all heard, what Les said in the Dome.
“I ain’t goin’ anywhere. I’m happy. I’m Home!”

The fans were still thinking “This might be a trick.”
‘til someone pointed out “Hey, this guy ain’t Nick!”
The Hat took the field for this championship game,
And he brought all his Tigers, and called them by name;

“Now, Hester! Now, Early! Now, Highsmith and Putt!
Let’s let ‘er rip and shut these guys up!
Take to the field! And give it your all!
Then later we’ll watch numbers 1 & 2 fall.”

The fans still weren’t sure as to what team would show,
The Virginia Tech game seemed like so long ago.
But there in the stands, the fans they did cheer,
As Perrilloux played his game of the year.

While out in Ar-Kansas, the hogs claimed the boot,
The tigers were focused on far better loot.
With the game knotted up, Ainge threw a quick out
But Zenon was ready and took six to the house.

He wore a LSU jacket, and a white turtle neck,
The same as he wore when his team beat La Tech.
With the hat on his head, and a childish grin,
Miles put his team in the title picture again.

His smile-how it widened! as Pitt won its game!
He cheered Oklahoma , when it did the same.
The stars were aligning, it couldn’t be true.
Turns out Miles WAS destined, to play O-S-U.

With a month to prepare and a month to heal up,
We’re all pretty sure which team will show up.
He ain’t going to Michigan , and we’re sure of that.
But Tressel and the Buckeyes should still Fear the Hat.

On December first, he called L-S-U home.
Then set up the Tigers, to play again in the Dome.
It soon will be legend, how Les started that day,
“Can’t talk now. . . . I’m busy. . . . [Y’all] have a GREAT day!”

NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!!!!!!!!

2007-12-02T17:37:00.000-08:00

Hey Tiger Alumnus!

Across from the Chimes, in the heart of Baton Rouge is an LSU Merchandise Store, Tiger District, selling everything you could want as an LSU Tiger fan. We've had some demand from relocated alumni so we recently launched a new website, www.tigerdistrict.com. If you visit the website you'll see that we also sell gameday t-shirts as well as hats, which is where you and your alumni association can benefit.

You, each member of your alumni association, as well as your friends can order t-shirts, or any other merchandise, and in the comment box tell us with which city's alumni you're associated. We at the Tiger District will give back 10% on each purchase to your city's association for each comment we receive. With that you can make money and get great merchandise. And this is perfect for the holiday season!

We are counting on you, as an officer of your alumni association, to tell other members about this offer so that your organization can benefit. If you have any questions or comments email us back, visit the website and leave a comment, or even give us a call at the store at 225.346.4790.

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!!

Hi Everyone,

Well, a little more than 2 weeks before kick off of the Miss State game. Remember, the first game is Thursday, August 30th. Kickoff is 8pm . We will be viewing the games at Seven Bridges this year.

I just wanted to remind everyone that we will have a pre -season get together at Seven Bridges on Sunday,August 26th from 4-7. Great time to talk about LSU and make predictions for the season. The first drink is free . I am looking forward to getting the season off with a fun time. Looking forward to seeing everyone.

Tiger Oath for 2007

2007-08-10T14:42:00.000-07:00

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....

Tiger Band CD

2007-08-03T17:41:00.000-07:00

Want to get a Tiger Band CD??

Here's how:

Mr. Usner,

Thank you for your continuing support of LSU through your alumni association. We also love LSU and support them with our Hey Fightin’ Tigers CD. It contains 15 songs, featuring live performances by the Golden Band of Tigerland including the Fight Song, the Alma Mater, and the Pre-Game & Touchdown. It also includes other uniquely LSU songs! It is great for tailgating and to get your alumni in the spirit for LSU Football. Kickoff is early this year with our first ever Thursday night game at Mississippi State.

The CD is currently in stores with an average retail price of $13.99.

Please visit our website for other LSU items that we offer. Our items are licensed by Collegiate Licensing Company, approved by LSU and even available in the LSU Union for current students. A portion of the proceeds from all of our items, including the CD, goes directly back to the University.

LSU v Auburn

Game notes:
A terrible 3-7 loss to the Tigers of Auburn. Two inexplicable pass interference calls - one in the endzone that should've been called on Auburn, and a call on the pass to Doucet that was waved off by the officials after a review.
(There are rules about balls tipped at the line of scrimmage that cannot be ruled pass interference. Makes no sense to us when the player is touching or grabbing on the receiver and it's a catchable ball.)

The next game is going to be our homecoming - It's gonna be LSU vs. Tulane. The Chapter will once again be gathering
at Dick's Wings & Grille in Tinseltown. The game is scheduled for kickoff at 8:00 pm EST, so we will begin gathering around 7:30. We will be watching the game on TigerVision in the atrium.
