LSU's The Nickname: "Fighting Tigers"
Way back in the fall of 1896, coach A.W. Jeardeau's LSU
football team posted a perfect 6-0-0 record, and it was
in that pigskin campaign that LSU first adopted its nickname,
Tigers.
'Tigers' seemed a logical choice since most collegiate
teams in that year bore the names of ferocious animals,
but the underlying reason why LSU chose 'Tigers' dates back
to the Civil War.
According to Arthur W. Bergeron, Jr., PhD. and the "Guide
to Louisiana Confederate Military Units, 1861-1865"
(LSU Press, 1989), the name Louisiana Tigers evolved from
a volunteer company nicknamed the Tiger Rifles, which was
organized in New Orleans. This company became a part of
a battalion commanded by Major Chatham Roberdeau Wheat and
was the only company of that battalion to wear the colorful
Zouave uniform. In time, Wheat's entire battalion was called
the Tigers.
That nickname in time was applied to all of the Louisiana
troops of Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. The
tiger symbol came from the famous Washington Artillery of
New Orleans. A militia unit that traces its history back
to the 1830s, the Washington Artillery had a logo that featured
a snarling tiger's head. These two units first gained fame
at the Battle of First Manassas on July 21, 1861. Major
David French Boyd, first president of LSU after the war,
had fought with the Louisiana troops in Virginia and knew
the reputation of both the Tiger Rifles and Washington Artillery.
Thus when LSU football teams entered the gridiron battlefields
in their fourth year of intercollegiate competition, they
tagged themselves as the 'Tigers'.
It was the 1955 LSU 'fourth-quarter ball club' that helped
the moniker 'Tigers' grow into the nickname, 'Fighting Tigers'.
Thanks to Arthur W. Bergeron, Jr., PhD., a historian at
the Pamplin Historical Park, for contributing to the above
information.
Colors: Purple and Gold
There is some discrepancy in the origin of Royal Purple
and Old Gold as LSU's official colors.
It is believed that those colors were worn for the first
time by an LSU team in the spring of 1893 when the LSU baseball
squad beat Tulane in the first intercollegiate contest played
in any sport by Louisiana State University. Team captain
E.B. Young reportedly hand-picked those colors for the LSU
squad.
Later that year, the first football game was played. On
November 25, 1893, football coach/chemistry professor Dr.
Charles Coates and some of his players went into town to
purchase ribbon to adorn their gray jerseys as they prepared
to play the first LSU gridiron game.
Stores were stocking ribbons in the colors of Mardi Gras
-- purple, gold and green. -- for the coming Carnival season.
However, none of the green had yet arrived at Reymond's
Store at the corner of Third and Main streets. Coates and
quarterback Ruffin Pleasant bought up all of the purple
and gold stock and made it into rosettes and badges.
"Mike the Tiger"
The live Bengal Tiger whose habitat lies across the street
from Tiger Stadium has been a part of the LSU tradition
since the early days of athletics in Baton Rouge (Nov. 21,
1936). Meanwhile, his two-legged furry costumed counterpart
that stalks the sidelines of LSU athletics events has been
on campus since the 1950s.
Mike travels throughout the country with many of the Tiger
teams, while also making public appearances to promote LSU
athletics in Baton Rouge and surrounding communities.
"Fight For LSU"
Like Knights of old, Let's fight to hold
The glory of the Purple Gold.
Let's carry through, Let's die or do
To win the game for dear old LSU.
Keep trying for that high score;
Come on and fight,
We want some more, some more.
Come on you Tigers, Fight! Fight! Fight!
for dear old L-S-U.
RAH!
"Hey Fighting Tiger"
Hey, Fightin' Tigers, Fight all the way
Play Fightin' Tigers, win the game today.
You've got the know how,
you're doing fine,
Hang on to the ball as you hit the wall
And smash right through the line
You've got to go for a touchdown
Run up the score.
Make Mike the Tiger stand right up and roar.
ROAR!
Give it all of your might as you fight tonight
and keep the goal in view.
Victory for L-S-U!
"Tiger Rag"
(Hold that Tiger)
Long ago, way down in the jungle
Someone got an inspiration for a tune,
And that jingle brought from the jungle
Became famous mighty soon.
Thrills and chills it sends thru you!
Hot! so hot, it burns you too!
Tho' it's just the growl of the tiger
It was written in a syncopated way,
More and more they howl for the 'Tiger'
Ev'ry where you go today
They're shoutin'
Where's that Tiger! Where's that Tiger!
Where's that Tiger! Where's that Tiger!
Hold that Tiger! Hold that Tiger!
Hold that Tiger!
"Touchdown for LSU"
Tigers! Tigers! They've come to town,
They fight! They fight! Call a first down,
Just look them over, and how they can go,
Smashing the line with runs and passes
high and low.
Touchdown! Touchdown! It's Tigers' score.
Give them hell and a little bit more.
Come on you Tigers, Fight them, you Tigers,
Touchdown for LSU.
Rah! U. Rah!
LSU Alma Mater
Where stately oaks and broad magnolias
shade inspiring halls,
There stands our dear Old Alma Mater
who to us recalls
Fond memories that waken in our hearts
a tender glow,
And make us happy for the love
that we have learned to know.
All hail to thee our Alma Mater,
molder of mankind,
May greater glory, love unending
be forever thine.
Our worth in life will be thy worth
we pray to keep it true,
And may thy spirit live in us, forever…L-S-U.
