History of the Tigers

The LSU Tigers are one of history's most storied college sports teams. With a long and successful legacy, they have been an integral part of the NCAA for many years. From their first season in 1893, they have had a rich tradition that has seen them become one of the top programs in all collegiate sports.

LSU's football program is perhaps its most well-known team and has been around since 1893 when it was founded as Louisiana State University Football Club by Dr. Charles E Coates. Since then, LSU football has gone on to win numerous conference championships, including six SEC titles (1935–36; 1958; 2003–07). The Tigers won two national championships (2003 & 2007) under head coach Les Miles. They made five appearances at BCS Bowl games during his tenure with four wins, including two Sugar Bowls victories over Notre Dame & Ohio State, respectively!

In addition to football success, LSU’s baseball team is also highly regarded nationally, having won six College World Series titles between 1991-2000, including three consecutive from 1996-98! They’ve also produced several professional players such as Ben McDonald, who was drafted 1st overall by Baltimore Orioles in 1989, and Warren Morris, who hit “the shot heard round college baseball world” with a game-winning home run against Miami Hurricanes 1997 CWS championship game! Other than these significant accomplishments, there are many more successes across other varsity sports like men's/women's basketball, track and field, etc.

This makes up just a tiny portion of the incredible history behind iconic schools like Louisiana State University. So, if you consider yourself a true fan, check out everything else great things accomplished throughout decades here at Tiger Nation!!!
