Odd/rare LSU memorabilia

---

Back before the 2003 season, right after Fan Day in fact, I came to the conclusion that LSU was going to win the National Championship. Something about the difference in the way Mauck was throwing the ball versus the way he had in the past...even as recently as the Spring Game...dunno.

Anyway, I was doing tons of graphics back then while a member of Tiger Roar, and I did this one.



The board was huge then and the image got around right at the beginning of the season. I ended up getting an e-mail from one of the women that worked with the players at the academic center, and she told me a bunch of the guys had seen it...notably Clayton. Supposedly he had printed out a large version and had it on his wall the whole season. Through her, I ended up getting him to sign a smaller version I now have framed in my office...

Oh...not so much a bit of memorabilia but cool thing. Remember the LSU-UGA game from 2003 when Game Day showed up? during that show Lee Corso held up an image that had Mark Richt saying something fairly negative about Tiger Stadium. Corso went on to say he'd asked Richt about it and he'd denied it...and that the LSU team had had it up in the locker room, etc. Well...turns out Richt was telling the truth basically. He had said something about Tiger stadium, and if you REALLY tried you could have been offended...but just as a gag I twisted it a bit strictly for shits and giggles on the old board. Sure enough...it had gotten loose and the next time I saw it was while I was on the ramp at the PMAC with everyone else seeing Corso whip it out.





4:30 Mark

Every LSU pocket Football Schedule from 1977-2001, except two. I can't remember the missing years, would have to pull them out.

I have a number of things, but the most unusual are a black glass ashtray commemorating the 1958 National Championship team and a very old book on basketball coaching that was owned by Harry Rabenhorst.

My dad has a game used jersey...cant remember what player though. it was a running back from the late 70's/early 80's.

A Skip Butt autograph.

At least that's what it says

I had Dwayne Bowe's sweatband but I misplaced it.

My grandmother has a copy of her father's 1911 Gumbo. It's pretty neat to look through - it has the football cheers and songs from the old Southern Conference, with lines like "Swanee, Swanee, Swanee, you thought you were so brawny".

I got my hat signed by Billy Cannon at a car dealership.

I have Dominick Davis' autographed game worn helmet from the 2002 Sugar Bowl vs Illinois.

I have a football signed by the entire 1997 team.

I have a baseball signed by the 1997 NC team.

I got a couple pics signed by Les that I got from some fundraisers.
