Synopsis

Daily Devotions for Die-Hard Fans: LSU Tigers combines the great passion of the Tigers fan with the grand passion of the fan of Christ in one set of devotions. The result is a book that is fun while it provides a time of reflection about God and your faith.

• One of Joe Burrow's coaches admitted he wasn't an athletic freak. So what made him Heisman-Trophy good?
• The youngster was so big Dale Brown thought he was a soldier; it was Shaquille O'Neal and he was 13.
• Ed Orgeron carried the dreams and hopes of an entire people on his shoulders into the national championship game.
• Cholly Mac McClendon wanted only two jobs in his life - and they both were offered to him the same day.
• Clemson had it all figured out just how they were going to defense Ja'Marr Chase. Bad idea.

These stories and more are recounted here. Also appearing are Leonard Fournette, Pete Maravich, Les Miles, Glenn Dorsey, Bob Pettit, and many others. Their stories - along with legendary games, improbable victories, and historical events -are told with a twist: Each is tied to God's story.

Have fun! Have faith! Geaux Tigers! Geaux God!

From the Back Cover

Daily Devotions for Die-Hard Fans: LSU Tigers combines the great passion of the Tiger fan with the grand passion of the fan of Christ in one set of devotions. The result is a book that is fun while it provides a time of reflection about God and your faith. The scoreboard had already rung up a Kentucky win when the Tigers pulled off the Bluegrass Miracle. Dale Brown thought the youngster was a soldier, but he was only 13, and the chance meeting changed LSU basketball. Upset Mike the Tiger was being transported to New Orleans, students responded by locking campus leaders in a cage. Cholly Mac McClendon wanted only two jobs in his life and they both were offered to him the same day. The most famous play in LSU football history was a mistake. These stories and more are recounted here. Also appearing are Leonard Fournette, Pete Maravich, Jacob Hester, Les Miles, Glenn Dorsey, Shaquille O'Neal, Bob Pettit, and many others. Their stories along with legendary games, improbable victories, and historical events are told with a twist: Each is tied to God's story. Have fun! Have faith! Geaux Tigers! Geaux God!
