Gentlemen,
I'm a little miffed that I'm having to repeat this, but here goes.
Tiger Rag's composition is oftentimes credited to all six members of the Original Dixieland Jazz Band, who recorded the oldest known jazz record in 1917. (It was spelled "jass")
Usually, however, the song is credited to Nick LaRocca, who grew up on Magazine Street in New Orleans. His boyhood home still stands, down near the Camp St/Magazine St split, and you can find all the info you'd like right here.
The song was enormously popular and is the standard fight song for a number of Tiger-mascotted schools, including Clemson, Princeton and Missouri.
HOWEVER, I had the pleasure of meeting Nick LaRocca's son prior to the 2003 national championship game, and Jimmy LaRocca told me "My dad was ALWAYS an LSU fan."
Who came first? Well who gives a damn! The composer liked the only Tigers that really matter, and it ain't those simpering suckups from South Carolina.
Now, commit all this to memory, because I'm getting a bit peeved at having to repeat myself.

They call their field Death Valley, too. Didn't Coach Mac have something to do with that, too?
