LSU's is incorrect.

Google Lee's Tigers

Old Money LSU's nickname Tigers comes from Major Roberdeau Wheat's 1st. Special Battalion Louisiana Volunteer Infantry.

Not the Washington Artillery.

I have Major Wheat's autograph in my collection, it is wanted by the LSU Hall Library as that autograph is very hard to come find.
