How reliable is the "Tiger Rag" magazine...

I mean, I would just print him off dandy don's site once a week. Old people love that stuff.

Yea, he will never know what color shirt LF wore on his official visits, it that is the type of information he is looking for.

I doubt he cares. Hes just an old man that likes to keep up with his tigers.

I took Tiger Rag for years. It was reliable, enjoyed it. I'm 62 and had to LEARN computers and websites. I now love the many choices I have for LSU sites and SEC football in general. I think your dad would love the many LSU info sites,if you could show him how to get on them. I dropped Tiger Rag only because I found many more sites to supplement it, AND Tiger Rag has it's own site. Some of it you can read free, but not all of the articles, sometimes only the first sentence to get the jest of it. Of course he could subscribe to the website instead of a mailed printed copy.

My dad refused to turn on a laptop, so I bought him an iPad It sat on the table for a year. He finally picked it up, and uses it all the time now. He's 83

Old people crack me up.

I haven't read Tiger Rag in years, but growing up it was how we got our LSU news. Back then it was quite informative.

I haven't looked at a Tiger Rag since 1994 when I spent $1400 to buy my 1st PC (100 MHz)! It was my lifeline to LSU Sports from 1983 until then. In the 90's when the football team wasn't in the top 20, the Morning News just had the score unless they played a top 20 team. I was excited to get it and hated when they only sent out one a month during the summer. Until Oct. of 2010, I had every issue from 83-94.

My 82 year old dad was that way about computers until I got him to sit down and look at all of the LSU sites with me. He got his own laptop right after that. He subscribes to the old TigeRoar site and reads the recruiting board over here. He's always telling me about the rumors some guy that's a coach in Alabama tells them on TigerRoar. He reads Dandy Don and looks at the pics of my great niece on

FB. My mom gave him an IPad that he takes when they travel. For him to go, hotels have to have wireless and multiple ESPN's. He takes the IPad so can surf and play Free Cell & Solitare.

Takes a ton of pictures on trips. I go over and help him download them and post a few on his FB. He loves internet access. Just have to take his computer in for virus removal every so often because he thinks every message about downloading something is from a legitimate source.

A lot has changed since Steve Meyers and J.R. Ball were there

---

It was launched by Steve Meyers and Steve Townsend in the late 70's. At the time, it was a godsend for those of us living at a distance from LSU. If you wanted to get it in football season within the week that it was current (coverage of the last game, previews of the upcoming game), paying extra for first class postage was necessary (at least in the northeast).

Will he suggest that an in-state recruit is property of Louisiana? Will he say that a young man is a traitor and cry like a little girl if say, GWIII commits to an out of state school?

If so, I'd rather keep him in the dark.

But since he's over the age of 12, and doesn't read the Rant I assume that he's decent and wouldn't do that anyway.

Just print Dandy and/or email him.

I've been buying this for my dads birthday every year ,for the last ten years . He's 79 and loves Tiger Rag
