LSU senior Christian Christoffersen didn’t know what to expect as Dos Equis’ “Most Interesting Fan of College Football.”

But out of thousands of participants, Christoffersen, also known as “Tiger Eye Guy” was the one chosen for the prestigious title. 

Participants of the “Most Interesting Fan of College Football” were chosen from Twitter, Instagram and the Dos Equis web forms. Christoffersen and a Michigan fan were announced as the two finalists.

During the week of the National Championship in Atlanta, Christoffersen was awarded with a life-size statue of himself at the College Football Hall of Fame. 

He mingled with the competition’s spokesperson, Rob Riggle, and former USC quarterback Matt Leinart. 

Christoffersen even enjoyed his very first Dos Equis with “The Most Interesting Man in the World,” Augustin Legrand, and sat in a VIP seat near the Georgia sideline cheering for the Bulldogs.

“I actually went to the same high school as [former Georgia running back] Knowshon Moreno, so it was kind of natural to root for Georgia then,” Christoffersen said.

But Christoffersen was born to be a Tiger. The Middletown, New Jersey, native grew up watching LSU football and said that his friends started getting into college football while in high school to see where they were going to go in the future. 

That’s when LSU football stuck with him. Once he was accepted into the University, he didn’t want to apply anywhere else.

Christoffersen has donned the signature tiger eye on his stomach since his freshman year. His friend’s girlfriend, Brenna, used to paint the eye on Saturday mornings, but because of a tight work schedule last season, she ended up painting the eye on Friday nights.

As a result, Christoffersen would be forced to sleep on his back and then wake up at 7:55 a.m. to start his day. 

“It was originally going to be painted for fun, but then sure enough it ended up being this pretty cool thing,” Christoffersen said. “We’ve just stuck with it now for all four years.”

After watching the first commercials of “College Gameday,” Christoffersen would head to help set up his tailgate with his BBQ pork in hand. He would have other people hold his pork as he often got stopped to take pictures with fans.

“I’ll normally tailgate until around 3:30 p.m., depending on the game,” Christoffersen said. “But I usually leave my tailgate a little earlier to head down to the stadium, because I’m always taking pictures.”

For the 11 a.m. Arkansas game last season, Christoffersen woke up and was ready to go well before 5 a.m.

“I still like to get there early and take in all of the festivities with the students,” Christoffersen said. 

Christoffersen is expected to graduate this summer with a degree in history and is a little sad about his last spring game being right around the corner.

“I normally don’t paint up for the spring game, but I will probably go out early and take in those festivities one last time,” Christoffersen said. “I will definitely be in attendance at the Student Day and touch the win bar.”
