LSU Continues Chick-fil-A Bowl Dominance, 38-3
by LSUsports.net
ATLANTA -- Playing in what's become its dome away from home, the LSU football team lived up to its defending national champion moniker. The Tigers dominated No. 14 Georgia Tech with the school's largest first-half output in bowl history to win, 38-3, on Wednesday at the Georgia Dome.
LSU (8-5), which lost 5-of-8 games to end the 2008 regular season, showed the nation what they're made of against the overmatched Yellow Jackets. The Tigers improved to 5-0 in the Chick-fil-A Bowl and have not allowed a touchdown its past two appearances. Four of those wins came in the Georgia Dome, while LSU has a 3-1 record in the SEC Championship game also played in the arena.
It was the 700th win in the history of LSU football. [more]

Live in Tennessee? Want an LSU License Plate?
by TigerDroppings.com Staff
The LSU Music City Chapter has been steadily campaigning to get Tennessee license plates for LSU alumni. This campaign was designed to allow our fans to show their school spirit wherever they may be. Unfortunately, our fans have not gotten as involved as we had thought or hoped that they would. We are NOT "fair weathered fans", let us prove that.
What we ask now is for our fans, who happen to be the BEST in the SEC, to stand up for our team and become involved in this. Please fill out the enrollment form here and mail it in, or fill one out when you attend the football viewings. You will NOT be asked to pay UNTIL we reach the number of alumni needed to place the order. Our goal is to get this done by May 2009, with invoices going out that month. Again, we must have at least 1000 alumni before we place the order. Please tell all of your LSU friends living in Tennessee about this campaign!
Once we reach that number we will be contacting each of you to inform you how to complete your order. The cost of the license plates will be $35 per car.
Our team and our school need our support.
Any questions please contact Liz Hartzog at liz.hartzog@gmail.com or Amanda Rudolph at arudolph12@gmail.com or go to our website at lsunashville.com.
Make Texas LSU Specialty License Plates a Reality
by LSUAlumniDallas.com
You've asked for them and now they're coming! The 8 LSU Alumni Chapters across Texas have requested approval of the Texas Dept. of Transportation to manufacture LSU Specialty License Plates. We would be the first out-of-state university to join all the in-state schools in showing their school colors. (Arkansas has also requested approval and we can't let the Hogs beat us to the punch!)
The minimum no. of applications needed to start manufacturing is 1900 and we intend to exceed this total in our first year. The Dallas Chapter is acting as lead coordinator of this statewide effort and an order form can be found on the home page of our website, lsualumnidallas.com. Make your check or money order for $30 to LSU Dallas Alumni and mail to the mailing address found on the order form. (online payment through PayPal is available for $31.)
Should you have any questions, you can contact John Pierce at membership@lsualumnidallas.com or Mike Fernandez at LSUPlate@lsuhouston.com. [more]
LSU license plates in Georgia
by lsuatlanta.com
For Tiger Fans in Georgia, the LSU Atlanta chapter is now accepting applications to have special LSU plates manufactured by the state.
Georgia Department of Revenue Commissioner Bart L. Graham has approved the LSU Atlanta Alumni Chapter's request for special interest or commemorative license plates in the state of Georgia. We have until April 24, 2010 to collect 1,000 pre-paid applications for the plates. If we reach 1,000 applications, the state will begin production, and LSU can join Auburn, Florida and Clemson as out-of-state schools with Georgia plates.
With the Tiger football team treating the Georgia Dome like their home field (6-1, three SEC titles) -- and thousands of LSU alumni and fans across the state -- the LSU Atlanta chapter figured it was time we have our own Georgia plates, too.
Details on how to apply for a plate, and a downloadable application, can be found at lsuatlanta.com:
