2008 Fighting Tiger Football
July 2008
Less than two months until the 2007 BCS National Champions gather in Tiger Stadium for the start of the 2008 campaign. Should be another wild ride.
Hope you're summer is going well. Be safe. I'll see you at the tailgates.
In the meantime, here's the 2008 Football Schedule.

2008 Fighting Tiger Baseball

The LSU Tiger Baseball Team earned a berth in the 2008 College World Series and so we chant "Back to Omaha". They believed in themselves when others wouldn't and fought back through the latter part of the season to become the Number 8 seed and Number 2 in Baseball America. It was without a doubt the greatest turnaround in Tiger Baseball history: from eleventh place in the SEC to CWS with a 23 game win streak during that time. Coach Paul Manieri and his young men deserve our congratulations and support.

About TigerToons
TigerToons is a way for me to combine my love for LSU with my love for art. Add to that my sense of humor and desire to share my joy for life, and you get TigerToons. The cartoons are my unique way of reporting on LSU Sports and editorializing about what I experience. I am very lucky to do the things I love.
TigerToons got started in a big way in 1997, though I have been drawing and painting LSU Sports stuff since the early 1970s. Originally, I created cartoons to decorate our family's motor home for tailgating. The next step was creating toons that could be faxed to friends and family as a way to share my love of the Tigers. Eventually, TigerToons needed to take advantage of the Internet's possibilities. So in August1997, TigerToons made its appearance on the World Wide Web.
