SIGNING A FEW AUTOGRAPHS

Media_http1bpblogspot_acteq
BIANCA LUTLEY (9-19-09):
Before the football game with ULL today our team signed autographs. It was my first time with the team though they warned me it would be crazy. As a freshman I am learning everyday how many fans really love our team and today was no different. We signed non-stop up until it was time for us to leave. Thanks to everyone for making our team feel special.

BOWLING - THE LADY TIGER WAY!

Media_http2bpblogspot_upcfm
ALLISON HIGHTOWER (9-18-09):
Hello Tiger fans! I hope everybody is doing well.


How many of you tiger fans love bowling? Well let me tell you, I love bowling!! When I was little I used to want to be a professional bowler, but obviously I was better in basketball! Bowling is something that our whole team really competes in -- we all think we're the best bowlers alive, but we all know that’s not the case!

Well except me, everybody knows I can bowl! As a matter of fact I think I made the top 100 best bowler’s in Baton Rouge (not really) but I like to think that way. When we go to the bowling alley my teammates always try to find a way to throw me off of my game, they just cheat! But I still love them...I understand. So if you see the bowling pictures clearly I was hurt and I was a little off on my game, but that happens very rarely. LOL -- until next time GEAUX TIGERS!!!!

TAILGATING THE LADY TIGER WAY

COURTNEY JONES (9-18-09):

Food, Fun, and Family is what I think about when tailgating at Coach's home. The entire LSU staff and players including managers gather in one location playing wild and crazy games. The best thing I love about it is the food. Coach Chancellor's wife makes the greatest Red Velvet cakes, no wonder Coach has been able to stay so happy all these years!

LEARNING TO PLAY THE PERIMETER

Media_http4bpblogspot_eevdm
ADRIENNE WEBB (9-18-09):

During four player work-outs, one of the main things perimeter players have learned about is making the right read off of screens to create scoring opportunities for ourselves and the person setting the screen. We have to be patient and see how the defender is playing us and make a hard cut off the screener to get ourselves open; and if the screener’s defender helps off on the cutter, then the person screening is left open. Executing this properly will help improve our game.

PICTIONARY

Media_http4bpblogspot_fvwba
TAYLOR BOOZE (9-12-09):
Every so often we get together as a team and have a game day at Coach Chancellor's house. Pictionary is a game that everyone enjoys. The things our teammates come up with to draw can be pretty comical. Trying to guess the answer isn't always as easy as it should be. It can get pretty heated at times just because we are all so competitive -- especially when the coaches join in and "try" to win. But I think we all really enjoy the quality team bonding time we get from it. Its always nice to be around teammates, coaches and staff. We always have a good time while always doing it "The Lady Tiger Way!"

TAILGATING AND THE LEGEND OF MRS. C'S RED VELVET CAKE

Media_http2bpblogspot_ezepz
ERICA WILLIAMS (9-12-09):
Tailgating at Coach's house, one word, FOOD!!! Honestly I always look forward to tailgating at coach's house. We have some of the best food and I think we all look forward to Mrs. Chancellor's red velvet cake. Mmmm! I can just taste it now! I don't think there is ever any of that cake left once we leave
; so if you do get the opportunity to come out and tailgate go for the desert first.

Although the food is some thing that we all look forward to, but also being with my teammates and coaches plays a big role. We're one huge family and the times at coach's house is pretty good bonding time. Coach puts together all these games and things get pretty competitive in that house. We learn more about each other each time and we become even closer. I truly enjoy the time that we spend together tailgating and I look forward to each time. To me there is no such thing as a team if you can't get along as a family, and tailgating really brings the family side of us out.

TEAM PRAYER

Media_http2bpblogspot_bxyfo
ANDREA KELLY (9-1-09):
One of the things I enjoy about our team is that we pray as a team. Before every game, before every meal or team function and after every workout whether it is practice or conditioning. We have a team of individuals from so many different places but we come together as one when we are Lady Tigers!

THE MILE RUN

Media_http4bpblogspot_evogd
KATHERINE GRAHAM (8-26-09):
As per The Lady Tiger Way we hit the track bright and early this morning for the mile run! We all have target times to make and and we all made them! We won't have to run the mile again until the last day of conditioning and those target times are not as easy -- trust me on that!

But I was proud of our team for pushing through it -- great way to start off the season!

CHAMPS BACK TO SCHOOL BASH

Media_http2bpblogspot_hedrk
COURTNEY JONES (8-24-09):

Each year on the Sunday before the first day of school our Shaquille O'Neal CHAMPS department puts on a "Back-to-School Bash" for the entire athletic department. There's food and games and it's always a lot of fun!

I never think about it much because it's just so natural, but all the sports, coaches and athletes get along so well at LSU. We always pull for each other. I think things like the Bash help to start things off on the right track.
One thing we didn't quite expect was Coach Chancellor joining us on the volleyball court!

WELCOME!

ALLISON HIGHTOWER (8-23-09):

The Lady Tiger Way! It's been hammered into me since I arrived as a freshman four years ago. That's right -- hard to believe but I'm finally starting my senior year. The other day I was in the training room and talking to Micki (Collins) and I said, "I can't believe my senior year is here!"

The Lady Tiger Way means a lot of things to me. It's just not something that you get from what the coaches teach. I got most of it handed down from the upperclassman that I played with the past three years. Now it's up to me to make sure I teach the Lady Tiger Way to our team.

The one thing that Coach Starkey always talks to us about is "legacy" -- what are we leaving to the next team of players to wear an LSU uniform? How are we carrying on the tradition that our alumni has built?

The coaching staff always has Lady Tiger alumni speak to us when they come in town. Temeka Johnson is someone who I have became great friends with and who has passed on a lot of knowledge to me about how we play the game at LSU.

What I'm told is that this blog will be about our program -- every aspect! That our team, staff, alumni and even our fans will help contribute to it. It sounds like a pretty cool project so "jump on the Van Wagon" and follow the our team -- The Lady Tiger Way!
