Dear TAF Members, A new era in Tiger Football kicks off this fall as Ed Orgeron will begin his first full season as LSU’s head coach. Coach O and his staff landed one of the nation’s top recruiting classes last February. With the return of Defensive Coordinator Dave Aranda and the arrival of new Offensive Coordinator Matt Canada, Tiger Fans are eagerly anticipating a strong 2017 campaign. The 2016-2017 athletic year saw 14 Tiger teams compete in NCAA post-season play, led by the Gymnastics and Baseball teams’ National Runners-Up finishes. In the classroom, 70 LSU student-athletes received SEC Academic Honor Roll recognition and 66 Tigers earned degrees. The renovation of the Peterson/Roberts Weight Room in the Football Operations Center was completed. This fall will see the completion of the upgrades and renovations to Mike the Tiger’s Habitat, the first phase of continuing renovations to facilities in the bowl of Tiger Stadium, and the installation of the new PMAC scoreboard. Later this year, construction is scheduled to begin on Phase II of the renovation of the Football Operations Center, including the construction of the Athletic Nutrition Center, and the addition to the LSU Baseball Indoor Practice Facility. It is the generous support of TAF members that assures LSU’s athletic teams are among the nation’s very best and allows our student-athletes to achieve success in competition, in the classroom, and in life. Thank you for your continuing support. Geaux Tigers!
