Here is a great story my dad told me that I thought I would share with all the Tiger fans before Saturday-
"Since the Tigers are

I have heard a similar story from someone back in the day!
Don't know if this was in the 80's/90's, but it seems that the Aggies did like freaking out Lassie every time they came to Tiger Stadium.

Sweet read. I like reading about the good times of parents and their kids at a football game.
