My buddy, who worked for LSU basketball, is organizing a team of former LSU Basketball players to enter "The Basketball Tournament" or TBT. The team needs to be in the top 24 for total number of fans when the teams lock on May 1st. They already have 105 fans, but this only puts them in 36th place. For the record, a Philadelphia based sports website runs the team in first place with 580 fans.

So far the team has Andre Stringer and Shavon Coleman, who just completed their senior years, and Chris Bass, brother of Brandon Bass, who graduated in 2012. From what I have heard, they are talking to some very high profile players to try to get them involved. They just need to get some serious momentum rolling behind the team. This is a big opportunity for these guys to make some money and to grow the LSU basketball prestige.

Becoming a fan is very easy. Simply click this LINK and click the button to "join to become a fan". Enter some basic info including an email. They will send you a confirmation email. Once you click the link in that email to confirm your email address, you are done! All that is left is getting more people to become fans. Let's show the country the power of Tigerdroppings, and the dedication of LSU fans!

Help out some former Tigers!

$500,000 is no joke.

Didn't think this was legit. Went "Pfff". Then I clicked the link. Turns out VERY LEGIT. Became a fan immediately. Everyone should join the cause. This tourney is big time.

No, this is in Philly this summer, except for the championship. The championship game location will be voted on by the fans.

Looks like Cornell is bringing the entire Sweet 16 team from a few years back.

And I became a fan. Pretty neat concept.

Im hoping LSU's roster adds some other good players. Love me some Stringer and Coleman. Not to mention Chris Bass was one of my favortes. He can't shoot, but you gotta love his ast:to ratio. Always tops in SEC.
