LSU Tigers football

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The LSU Tigers football team represents Louisiana State University in NCAA Division I-A college football. The team, currently coached by Les Miles, has consistently been one of the most successful programs in the nation since it began playing football in 1893. LSU entered the 2006 season with 669 victories, the 12th most in NCAA history, and the 4th most of any SEC team, behind only Alabama (774), Tennessee (752), and Georgia (693). LSU also entered the 2006 season with a 0.635 all-time winning percentage, the 16th best in the NCAA, and the 4th best in the SEC, behind only Alabama (0.712), Tennessee (0.697), and Georgia (0.642). LSU's Tiger Stadium, also known as "Death Valley", has a capacity of 92,400, making it the sixth largest sports stadium in the nation (not including racetrack stadiums)[1] and the third largest sports stadium in the SEC. Tiger Stadium has been constantly labeled by opponents as one of the toughest stadiums to play in for an opponent and has become one of college football's best homefield advantages. The intense crowd noise at an LSU-Auburn game once registered on the Richter-Scale on campus and is well-known as the "Earthquake Game." LSU won the BCS National Championship in 2003 with a 21-14 victory over Oklahoma in the Nokia Sugar Bowl in New Orleans.

The NCAA's website states that "while the NCAA does not conduct a national championship in Division I-A football and is not involved in the selection process," it states that "a number of polling organizations provide a final ranking of Division I-A football teams at the end of each season." LSU officially claims only two national championships (1958 & 2003), however, the school has been recognized as national champions by polling organizations on 4 additional occasions: 1908, 1935, 1936 and 1962.[2]

  • The Tigers did not field a team in 1918 (World War I).

[edit] Famous moments in LSU football history

  • 2002 - "The Bluegrass Miracle" -- #16 LSU survived an upset bid from unranked Kentucky by winning the game 33-30 on a miraculous 75-yard Hail Mary pass in the final seconds of the game.
  • 1995 - Bring Back The Magic Game -- Wearing its white jerseys at home in Tiger Stadium for the first time since 1983, LSU staged an incredible upset victory over #5 Auburn, winning the game 12-6 as LSU DB Troy Twillie intercepted Auburn QB Patrick Nix's 11-yard pass into the end zone with no time remaining.
  • 1972 - Jones to Davis -- #6 LSU survived an upset bid from unranked Ole Miss in Tiger Stadium by winning the game 17-16 as time expired on a TD pass from QB Bert Jones to RB Brad Davis.
  • 1966 - Cotton Bowl -- Unranked LSU staged an astonishing upset victory over #2 Arkansas, winning the game 14-7 and snapping Arkansas' 22-game winning streak.
  • 1959 - Billy Cannon's Halloween Night Run -- Late in the game between #1 LSU and #3 Ole Miss, LSU was trailing 3-0. Then Billy Cannon returned a punt 89 yards for a TD, breaking seven tackles. It was the only TD of the game, resulting in a 7-3 victory for LSU in Tiger Stadium.

[edit] Rivals

LSU's traditional rival is Tulane University (in a series in which they battle each other for the Tiger Rag). However, after Tulane left the SEC and de-emphasized athletics, the rivalry has diminished. The two teams renewed the rivalry in 2006. LSU's traditional rival in the SEC is Ole Miss. This rivalry has declined for various reasons, including a perceived lack of competitiveness. Since the decline of the LSU-Ole Miss rivalry, LSU has not developed an intense football rivalry with a single school. LSU now has four primary football rivalries: Arkansas Razorbacks, Auburn Tigers, Alabama Crimson Tide, and the Florida Gators. LSU has a somewhat lesser rivalry with the Tennessee Volunteers as the teams do not play each other on an annual basis.

  • Arkansas - In 1992, Arkansas joined the SEC and began a yearly rivalry with the winner taking home the Golden Boot, a trophy in the shape of the states of Arkansas and Louisiana that resembles a boot. The game, played the day after Thanksgiving, is usually the last regular season game for each team and is broadcast on CBS. In 2002 the rivalry took on higher stakes as the winner of the game would go on to represent the Western Division of the SEC in the SEC Championship Game. Arkansas won the exciting game on a last second touchdown pass by Matt Jones. In 2006, LSU beat the 10-1 Razorbacks at a game in Little Rock the day after Thanksgiving. Although Arkansas had already clinched representation of the Western division in the SEC title game, the LSU loss still snapped the Razorbacks' 10-game winning streak, and the Hogs didn't win another game the rest of the season (losing the SEC title game and their bowl game).
  • Auburn - In recent years, however, LSU's biggest rival has come in the form of the Auburn Tigers. The two share more than just a nickname, as they have both enjoyed success in the SEC's Western Division. Auburn or LSU have won at least a share of the SEC Western Division championship for five of the last six years.
  • Alabama - Since 1992's conference alignment, LSU and Alabama have played every year. This has increased an existing rivalry between these two traditional football powerhouses. The significance of this rivalry increases greatly with Alabama's hiring of former LSU coach Nick Saban for the 2007 season.
  • Tennessee - In 1959, #13 Tennessee beat defending national champions LSU at Tennessee 14-13, snapping LSU's 13-week streak at #1 in the AP Poll. In the last five match-ups between the two schools, unranked LSU upset #11 Tennessee 38-31 at Tiger Stadium (2000), #7 Tennessee beat #14 LSU 26-18 at Neyland Stadium (2001), #21 LSU upset #2 Tennessee 31-20 in the 2001 SEC Championship Game, #10 Tennessee beat #4 LSU 30-27 at Tiger Stadium (2005), and #13 LSU beat #8 Tennessee 28-24 at Neyland Stadium (2006).

[edit] Traditions

Tailgating -- Throngs of Tiger fans from across the region descend on LSU's campus for every home game, setting up motor homes and tents for Louisiana's biggest party other than Mardi Gras. ESPN has named LSU's pregame party as the best in college football, and the Sporting News has named LSU as the best place to attend a college football game.

The LSU Band's Pregame Show -- The famed LSU pregame show is one of the greatest rituals in college football. The unique show was created in 1964, and perfected over the next nine years into its current format. The marching band, hundreds strong, lines up along the end zone shortly before kick off. Then the band strikes up a drum cadence and begins to spread out evenly across the field. When the front of the band reaches the center of the field, the band stops and begins to blast into an electrifying version of "Tiger Rag" (Hold that Tiger). While it does this, the band turns to salute the fans in all four corners of the stadium. This incredible moment gives goose bumps to every Tiger fan and works the LSU crowd into a frenzy. Then the band, resuming its march across the field, begins playing "Touchdown for LSU." At this point, the LSU crowd begins to chant "L-S-U, L-S-U, L-S-U..." The band also plays a similar pregame show before it enters the stadium, while literally running down the hill into Tiger Stadium.

White Jerseys -- LSU is one of the few college football teams that wears white jerseys for home games. The tradition started in 1958, when Coach Paul Dietzel decided that LSU would wear white jerseys for the home games. LSU went on to win the national championship that year. Since then, LSU continued to wear white jerseys at home games. Then in 1982, new NCAA rules forbid teams from wearing white jerseys at home. Because of this, LSU wore purple jerseys during home games from 1983 to 1994. In 1995, LSU's new coach, Gerry DiNardo, was determined to restore LSU's tradition of white home jerseys. DiNardo personally met with each member of the NCAA Football Rules Committee, lobbying LSU's case. DiNardo was successful, and LSU again began wearing white jerseys at home when the 1995 season began. In LSU's first home game with the white jerseys, unranked LSU staged a stunning 12-6 upset victory over #6 Auburn. In 2000, LSU's new coach, Nick Saban, altered the tradition of the white home jerseys: now LSU only wears white jerseys for the home opener and for home games against SEC opponents. For non-SEC home games other than the home opener, LSU wears purple jerseys at home.

Chinese Bandits -- Whenever LSU forces a turnover or gets the ball back via a defensive stop, the LSU band plays the Chinese Bandit tune. The term "Chinese Bandits" originated as the nickname that LSU Coach Paul Dietzel gave to the defensive unit he organized in 1958, which helped LSU to win its first national championship. The next season, the 1959 Chinese Bandit defense held their opponents to an average of only 143.2 yards per game. No LSU defense since has done better.

Go to Hell Ole Miss -- When LSU is playing their rival Ole Miss fans shout "Go to Hell Ole Miss" frequently and signs with the same saying can be seen throughout the stadium.

H style goal posts -- LSU's Tiger Stadium uniquely sports "H" style goal posts, as opposed to the more modern "Y" style used by other schools today. This "H" style allows the team to run through the goal post in the north endzone when entering the field.

Yard lines -- Tiger Stadium also is notable for putting all yard line numbers on the field, not just those that are multiples of 10. However, the 10-yard-line numbers are the only numbers that get directional arrows, as the rules make no provision for 5-yard-line numbers.
