TIGERS START YEAR 0-1
Reader Ian points out a frightening similarity between the Tamil Tigers logo and LSU’s own branding, as well as offering up his own hybrid of the two:
Please not the “Libation” slipped in there for effect. As he points out:
The Tamil Tigers, a terrorist group accused of attacking civilian villagers, employing child soldiers, and possibly deep-frying unusual local wildlife, have recently been decimated by the Sri Lankan government…Meanwhile, the LSU Tigers are also controversial. They’ve been accused of attacking civilian tailgaters, employing child soldiers, and bearing firearms…
LSU has two up on them: The Tamil Tigers are a big 0-1 on the year, and still have their prized starting quarterback. Both do share a love of spicy food, though Cajun and creole cooking have nothing on Sri Lankan food, a cuisine so heinously spicy it contributes to higher rates of stomach cancer in the country. (It also makes determining whether you have the shits very difficult, so ass-scorching are the resulting bowel movements. They could be normal, or they could be shigella, as friends of ours who lived there found out the hard way.)

The Tamil Tigers have M.I.A., but other than that, I have to give this one to Baton Rouge.

With Jarrett Lee in command, LSU might wind up like the Tamil Tigers.

The Tamil Tigers also represent an oppressed majority stripped of proper representation and a legitimate voice in government, much like LSU’s fans, as the old boys in Baton Rouge would have you believe.

CurryBrosShits just doesn’t have the same ring and sounds downright painful.

Like the Tamil Tigers, LSU invades small villages and destroys the peasants and farmers meekly trying to defend their land. Poor Oxford, Miss.

without getting too deep into it, the government of Sri Lanka did the same sort of land redistribution to “peasants” for which Mr. Mugabe is famous. Similar to Louisiana, Sri Lanka is a Marathi (lit. pirate) government, an teardrop critical mass of Plutonium at the tip of the subcontinent. Maybe that’s the best way to think of it, Sri Lanka: the Louisiana of South Asia.

Great.
Skip spent a million bucks on that damn logo and it turns out some graphic designer hack stole it off the intergoogle.

And you have no idea how quickly some hick down here just stole appropriated that logo. I’m sure we’ll see it emblazoned on the side of a tailgating trailer when you’re in town for the UF game Orson.

Not quite sure why Orson thinks I’m an Apple product, but I’m truly honored by the thought of someone printing a strange ten minute half-drunken photoshop of mine onto a well-worn white t-shirt.
