In 2003 game between the LSU Tigers and the UGA Bulldogs, Georgia mounted an fourth-quarter offensive culminating in a game-tying touchdown with less than give minutes left on the clock.But fueled by relentless chants of “L-S-U, L-S-U” from the student section, the Tigers began a drive across the field, scoring a second touchdown with 1:22 left in the game.And for Saturday’s rematch between the two SEC powerhouses, some Tiger fans are hoping to repeat that performance.Posts on TigerDroppings.com indicate fans have been in contact with the Athletic Department and cheerleading coach Pauline Zernott to institute a cheerleader-led chant of “L-S-U” whenever the Tigers’ opponents score.Students also created a Facebook event with a similar intent. Named “LSU Chant at Georgia 2008”, the event seeks to recreate the chant and “show all of America why Death Valley is the toughest place to play college football.”Saturday’s game between LSU and UGA will begin at 2:30 p.m., and will be broadcast on CBS.—-Contact The Daily Reveille’s sports staff at [email protected]
