Tiger fans,

For generations, this matchup between LSU and Ole Miss has brought together families, friends and communities across Louisiana. It is a tradition built on unforgettable moments, passionate fans and a shared love for the Tigers. That history is part of what makes this game and college athletics so special.

As we come together once again, I encourage every member of the LSU family to represent our university and our state with pride.

Cheer loudly.

Wear your purple and gold proudly.

Bring the energy that sets LSU fans apart from every other fan base in the country. But as you do, remember that the person sitting next to you, whether they are wearing the same colors or cheering for the other team, deserves the same opportunity to enjoy this special tradition.

Be a good sport. Respect your neighbors. Celebrate the Tigers!

Our passion can be fierce without losing respect for one another. At the end of the day, this game is bigger than what happens on the field. It is about tradition, community and the people who make Saturdays like these unforgettable.

LSU System President
Dr. Wade Rousse
