Inspired by the user MoreOrLes, who mentioned in the OT that he will be burying his father on Saturday, and inspired by the loss of my own dad earlier this year...who would you like to pay tribute to that is no longer with us and who you KNOW would be enjoying the Tigers this season? Haters/flamers kindly go somewhere else. Thanks.
My dad would be loving it. It is hard not having him here, but I know he would be really proud of how this team has just dominated. I hate that he can't see it but know that he is somewhere keeping tabs on what is going on!
It is so sad to hear of your loss, and our thoughts and prayers will be for MoreOrLes and his family. We lost our mother in 2000 and she was much too young. No one can explain the sorrow of losing a parent unless you experience it first hand. Some of us know what that's like.
Enjoy the game and God Bless MoreOrLes' family.

My wife, Heather. Our first date was LSU-Tennessee 2000. She made me leave early and LSU won in overtime and the fans stormed the field. I never let her live that one down. She had family in Arkansas and we attended every game at War Memorial in Little Rock. She held my hand as we left the stadium after the "Miracle on Markham" as we were heckled by the Arkansas fans. She always sat next to me on the couch during every LSU game as I screamed at the TV asking obscure questions that had nothing to do with the game.
She died on October 7th, 2011 of liver failure at the ripe old age of 35. She was my best friend and loved LSU because I did. Football doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things but I do hope LSU kicks Alabama's arse. I know at least one person will be rooting the tigers on from heaven.

My 20-year-old son who died in a car accident two years ago. I know he would be making plans with his buddies to get together to watch the game. RIP Jacob

My Mom passed away last February. Attended LSU (as did I) and was a great fan. Picture above the mantle is of the LSU Band coming down the hill. Needlepointed me tiger portait in P & G. My brother and sister and I miss her.

After reading the article by Wright Thompson about Miles (stickied at the top of the front page if you haven't seen it), I would like to add Bubba Miles (his dad) to the list...I have a feeling if he were still around, he would have become a huge Tiger fan as well.

My great-grandparents. My great-grandfather was on the team that played in the first game at tiger stadium. He and his old football buddies would "get into the whiskey" and run football plays in the den at their camp.
My great-grandmother would go to the game dressed to the nines. She would leave at halftime to check on the children back at the hotel where they were with some "employees of the family." She snuck bourbon into every game. In the early 90's my father, who is a big Aggie, gave her a shirt with a huge A&M logo across the chest and an LSU logo on the lower back side. When she went to change she had it on backwards with the LSU on the front and giving a thumbs down. At her funeral, when my dad spoke, he told everyone that she had gone to a place where there is plenty of Bourbon, friends, and the Tigers always win.
It was not long after that I decided I wanted to go to LSU.
