"Its Saturday night in Death Valley ... and here come your Fighting Tigers of LSU!"

This detailed "scrapbook" contains never-before-published photographs, artwork and memorabilia drawn from LSUs athletic department, campus archives and Vincents personal collection. Tucked into dozens of sleeves and pockets, fans will find reproductions of old game programs, historic tickets, numerous postcards and photos. These fascinating replicas include an 1896 team photo, a 1947 Cotton Bowl ticket, a 1955 speech outlining coach Paul Dietzels first personal tour of Louisiana, the official stat sheet from the 1959 LSU-Ole Miss game, a 2004 Sugar Bowl press pass and a felt replica LSU pennant. No Tigers fan should be without this "home archive" of LSUs illustrious football history. This is a large hardbound book in a matching hard sleeve.
