re: Phrases that spark iconic Tiger images

And i loved the fact that when there weren't a lot of LSU games on TV yet, John would always just before opening kickoff as they were lining up give the listeners a description of the uniform of both teams. Opponent always first. "Ole Miss wearing their red jerseys, gray pants with the red, and blue striping down the side, blue legging, and powder blue helmet. And the Tigers wearing their familiar White jersey with gold pants purple and white striping down the side with purple legging, and gold headgear. Standing deep at the goal line for the Tigers to receive the kick is .......John Ferguson always got you ready. Loved hearing him.

Same here.
Jim Hawthorne continued this, and Chris Blair does this, too. Right down to using the term "head gear." A GREAT LSU tradition. And, if Chris doesn't do it, Doug Moreau will.
