If LSU had a new miscot, what would it be?
quote:
Louisiana Tigers, was eventually the name for all troops from Louisiana in General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. The Tigers had a reputation for fearlessness and hand fighting on the battlefield, but also for thievery, drunkeness and fighting in camp. At least 24 nationalities represented in the tiger ranks wore colorful Zoauve uniforms.
Where did this fact come from?
Makes no sense.
Drunkenness is the only adjective that describes the mere tigers of today.
LSU is called the Fighting Tigers after the unit of the same name in the army of northern Virginia. The Ole War Skule had supplied members to the unit. The name came from how fierce they fought. The Emblem on the Helmets comes from the Washington Artillery based in New Orleans, which also fought for the Army of Northern Virginia. Fans of LSU are so because of its legacy. No other mascot would be appropriate. Being an Acadian myself I honor may family's history, as I honor the history of the university I attended. If you want somthing different then go look for it. Try Lafayette. The mascot are the Rajun Cajuns formerly the bulldogs.

Now this makes sense.
