From No. 1 to unranked: How did it happen? From being the BCS National Champion to being a Chick-fil-A Bowl participant, the LSU football squad has had an eventful 2008.
The Purple and Gold had their share of ups and downs this football season. When everything is put into perspective, the 2008 season will be remembered as a year where expectations were not met.
It’s Saturday night in Death Valley. The players tie the last lace on their cleats. The coaches draw the final play. The student section roars as the Golden Band from Tigerland makes its pregame salute. Dan Borné prepares to announce the game as the voice of the purple and gold.
Borné’s voice has been synonymous with LSU sports for many years. He has been the public address announcer of LSU football for 23 years and LSU basketball for 21 years. As the voice of the Tigers, he has seen record-breaking wins, heart-breaking losses and many things in-between.
