Allison and Mystic Cat, thank you! I sat there and thought that it must be "Go Tigers" or French/Creole for "Roar Tigers," something along those lines (I wasn't sure how 'eaux was actually pronounced) but while I had the opportunity I thought I'd ask and be sure. Thanks again! Allison (and all other LSU fans and alumni), best of luck to LSU this fall, looking forward to y'all's visit this fall to The Plains to quite possibly decide the SEC West. Please remind your friends NOT to dump their tailgating coals near our buildings, thanks! For those who didn't know or forgot, during the 1996 LSU @ Auburn game in front of a national Saturday night ESPN audience, our old gymnasium ("The Barn") which was directly across the street from Jordan-Hare Stadium and dated from the 1930s, caught fire from hot charcoal from a tailgater's grill (unknown whether AU or LSU, doesn't really matter as it could have easily been either, most likely AU though) dumped on the ground. The old wooden structure went up in a spectacular column of flame and smoke to a horrified ESPN audience, to whom it initially appeared that J-H was on fire. The fire was directly behind the student section so believe it or not, we didn't know what was happening until well after the rest of the stadium saw it. The flames were so intense that the chain link fence around J-H was hot to the touch some 100' from the fire. I found pieces of the roof of the Barn over 1/4 of a mile away at the Kappa Alpha Theta dorm the next day.
