The LSU Tigers football team represents Louisiana State UniversityinNCAA Division I-A college football. The team, currently coached by Les Miles, has consistently been one of the most successful programs in the nation since it began playing football in 1893. Past coaches include Paul Dietzel, Charles McClendon and Nick Saban. LSU's Tiger Stadium has a capacity of 92,400 and is the sixth largest on-campus stadium in the nation.[1] The Tigers played their first game against Tulane in 1893, in what was the beginning of a major rivalry.
The NCAA's website states that "while the NCAA does not conduct a national championship in Division I-A football and is not involved in the selection process," it states that "a number of polling organizations provide a final ranking of Division I-A football teams at the end of each season." LSU officially claims only two national championships (1958 & 2003), however, the school has been recognized as national champions by polling organizations on 4 additional occasions: 1908, 1935, 1936 and 1962.[2]

Billy Cannon's Halloween Night Run
LSU's traditional rival is Tulane University. However, after Tulane left the SEC and de-emphasized athletics the rivalry has diminished. In 1992, Arkansas joined the SEC and began a yearly rivalry with the winner taking home the Golden Boot, a trophy in the shape of the states of Arkansas and Louisiana that resembles a boot. The game, played the day after Thanksgiving, is usually the last regular season game for each team and is broadcast on CBS. In 2002 the rivalry took on higher stakes as the winner of the game would go on to represent the Western Division of the SEC in the SEC Championship Game. Arkansas won the exciting game on a last second touchdown pass by Matt Jones.
In recent years, however, LSU's biggest rival has come in the form of the Auburn Tigers. The two share more than just a nickname, as they have both enjoyed success in the SEC's Western Division. Auburn or LSU have won at least a share of the SEC Western Division championship for the last six years.
Also, as a result of the expansion of the SEC in 1992 and the resulting scheduling changes, LSU and Florida play each other every year in what has become an exciting rivalry for fans of both sides.
