11-13) Tigers
Three teams, really? No originality, no real connection to any of the schools whatsoever.
considering this list is coming from Ar-kansas...I'm not surprised...
the Louisiana Tigers name comes from two units in the Army of Northern Virginia, both of which came from New Orleans: The Washington Artillery and the Tiger Zouaves Infantry...
The Washington Artillery's history goes back to 1839 and is still in the order of battle of the US Army with tours in Iraq and Afghanistan...
We can also claim a tie to the Flying Tigers as their commander, Claire Chennault attended LSU...and the Flying Tiger is used by our AFROTC detachment in it's insignia....
