Odd/rare LSU memorabilia

---

Back before the 2003 season, right after Fan Day in fact, I came to the conclusion that LSU was going to win the National Championship. Something about the difference in the way Mauck was throwing the ball versus the way he had in the past...even as recently as the Spring Game...dunno.

Anyway, I was doing tons of graphics back then while a member of Tiger Roar, and I did this one.



The board was huge then and the image got around right at the beginning of the season. I ended up getting an e-mail from one of the women that worked with the players at the academic center, and she told me a bunch of the guys had seen it...notably Clayton. Supposedly he had printed out a large version and had it on his wall the whole season. Through her, I ended up getting him to sign a smaller version I now have framed in my office...

Oh...not so much a bit of memorabilia but cool thing. Remember the LSU-UGA game from 2003 when Game Day showed up? during that show Lee Corso held up an image that had Mark Richt saying something fairly negative about Tiger Stadium. Corso went on to say he'd asked Richt about it and he'd denied it...and that the LSU team had had it up in the locker room, etc. Well...turns out Richt was telling the truth basically. He had said something about Tiger stadium, and if you REALLY tried you could have been offended...but just as a gag I twisted it a bit strictly for shits and giggles on the old board. Sure enough...it had gotten loose and the next time I saw it was while I was on the ramp at the PMAC with everyone else seeing Corso whip it out.
