Today we hit the letter “L” in the Alphabet Photo Challenge. I selected LSU for the letter “L.” LSU or Louisiana State University is the flagship university for the state of Louisiana.
Not only did I use to work at LSU, but I also took my retirement from LSU. I worked there for 29 years and would have stayed longer but I had a stroke and decided it was time to hang it up.
LSU is home to the well known mascot, Mike the Tiger, who is a real and live Bengal tiger that lives on campus. His habitat is a multi-million dollar estate and is gorgeous. The LSU Tigers are very competitive in all sports, but mainly in football, baseball, basketball and gymnastics. There have been several championships won by the football team and baseball teams. The gymnastics team was the runner up to the national champions last year.
I’ll end this with a Geaux Tigers!

that was an epic game, fun to see Coach O win!
That’s amazing, I would probably watch the tiger all day and don’t have any job done.
I am so sorry, I think I downvoted by mistake, but I tried to fix it.
Visiting Mike was a favorite thing to do on breaks and lunch! I have had the pleasure of meeting three different Tigers during my work on campus. One died of old age, the next one had cancer and the current one now.
Must have been an amazing experience to watch Mike during breaks.
