LSU Alumni Association Blog

There is so much love here in the air at LSU! Whether it was locking eyes in The 459, running into each other in the Quad, or fatefully finding each other in Tigerland, there are so many incredible love stories that started right here on the LSU campus. We asked #LSUTigerNation to share their #LSUAlumni love stories in honor of Valentine's Day and hundreds of proud alumni shared their memories. Memorial Tower is a Tiger family tradition for midnight kisses, engagements, and even weddings! Read our featured Tiger love stories in their own words below. 

LSU alumni, fans, and admirers new and old took to social media to offer sentiments after LSU Football became National Champions and arguably the best college football team to ever play the game. It meant so much to our university, our state, and our alumni.

We came across Justin Jones' (Political Science '13) words and couldn't explain it better than he did. Check out what he had to say along with dozens of reactions from notable LSU alumni and admirers. 

Traveling Tigers are a select group. A proud assemblage. The diehards of diehard Tiger fans. They tailgate under stately oaks by day and roar in Death Valley on Saturday nights. But their fandom does not stop there. They boldly take to enemy territory representing all of LSU Tiger Nation.  Their mission: make our boys feel like they’re playing a home game.

2019 has been a year of incredible accomplishments for LSU Alumni Association, and we are proud to support LSU alumni, fans, and friends 365 days a year. Let us take you along for a few of our highlights from the year and things we are most proud of. We can't wait to see you in 2020! 

LSU alumnus and 1944 LSU football team captain Jimmy Bernhard was celebrated as an honorary team captain at the LSU vs. Texas A&M football game on November 30 along with several other Tiger greats. Bernhard was a tackle during the ’43, ’44, and ’45 seasons. He has been an instrumental part of the Lafayette and Baton Rouge communities since his LSU days.   Bernhard led the team during the height of the LSU vs. Tulane rivalry fondly referred to as The Battle for the Rag. Many Tiger fans are familiar with this tradition but there is a piece of the story you may not know about that involves Jimmy Bernhard.
