I love being referred to as the Fighting Tigers, but it seems like Jim Hawthorne is the only one that refers to LSU in that way.

I don't think Fighting Tigers is generic if you know the history behind it.

Bayou Bengals or Fighting Tigers but honestly don't really care. I'm just happy LSU is getting media coverage! I can remember a time when they got none.

Bayou Bengals because it implies that there are actually tigers in the bayou, those being the football players, of course.

I prefer Fighting Tigers because it honors the heroic efforts of Louisiana soldiers during the Civil War.
