War Eagle is pretty cool and Auburn already has a live eagle. What do you say Auburn? There should only be one Tiger in the SEC.

Great, now that that's settled, what about Mizzou?

We'll go to the War Eagles if LSU goes to the Bayou Bengals, and Mizzou goes somewhere else besides the SEC. Deal?

By far the best thing posted all day! If only it was that easy to get rid of the worst mistake in the SEC's illustrious history.

History, kids. As for LSU...

Louisiana using the Tiger mascot predates:
Looks like Mules is more appropriate for Missouri. Get permission from Army before you steal their mascot.
quote:
Hardesty notes, the nickname Tigers was commonly used by Louisiana outfits before the Civil War. It made sense for LSU, which began as a military school, to adopt the nickname carried by several of the state's military outfits. "As far back as 1845, in the Mexican War, four different volunteer units from Louisiana used the nickname," Hardesty wrote. "The Washington Artillery Battalion from New Orleans used that name in the Mexican War and again in the Civil War." Indeed, the Washington Artillery Company's logo is an irate tiger head similar to the one on the side of the LSU football helmet.

LSU's football team first began going by the nickname Tigers in 1896, its fourth season of competition. Those Tigers went 6-0 and outscored their over-matched opponents 136-4. "According to LSU football tradition, the name came from a Civil War regiment known as the Louisiana Tigers, which distinguished itself with its fighting spirit in the battle of the Shenandoah Valley, where it was said they 'fought like tigers,'" wrote Dan Hardesty in his book, "LSU: The Louisiana Tigers." However, Hardesty notes, the nickname Tigers was commonly used by Louisiana outfits before the Civil War. It made sense for LSU, which began as a military school, to adopt the nickname carried by several of the state's military outfits. "As far back as 1845, in the Mexican War, four different volunteer units from Louisiana used the nickname," Hardesty wrote.
