The Tiger Rag
LSU and Tulane worked together to revive a 61-year-old tradition, the
Tiger Rag. The Tiger Rag is a satin flag divided diagonally, featuring
the two universities' logos and colors, with the Louisiana state seal
in the center. For more than 40 years the flag was passed to the winning
team to hold until the next LSU-Tulane football game. The tradition ended
in 1982, when the flag was destroyed in a fire at Tulane. In 2001 a new
Tiger Rag was reconstructed based on archive photos, and on September
1 the two teams clashed for control of the ball. LSU, the victor, will
have custody of the flag until the teams meet again next year.
