Can you imagine getting into a war so big today that they cancelled most of the SEC season because all young men of college age were expected to join the military? It would be surreal.
Apparently, if it were to happen today, a bunch of mostly middle aged men who normally argue on a message board would sign up just to hold it over other fanbases' heads.

Are you seriously questioning LSUs military ties and patriotism? Wtf are you guys like 12?
The name “fighting Tigers” is from a notorious and feared brigade of soldiers in the civil war. General Sherman was LSUs chancellor. The volunteer group of airman the “flying tigers” also named for LSU under command of LSU grad. The landing craft for D Day invasion built in New Orleans by LSU guys. No SEC school other than A&M is known for its military associations.
