Meet Tank!
When intercollegiate athletics came to LSUA, the best choice for a team name was obvious, the Generals. Alexandria had deep ties to the military. In 1941, central Louisiana had hosted a massive tactical training exercise in anticipation of the United States’ entry into World War II. The Louisiana Maneuvers brought 350,000 troops to the area and cemented central Louisiana’s place in American military history. Among the officers present were men whose names would become synonymous with martial leadership, including Omar Bradley, Dwight D. Eisenhower, and George Patton. It was General George Patton’s love for his faithful bull terriers that ultimately provided the inspiration for LSUA’s mascot, Tank, the bull terrier. Learn more about Tank and the LSUA Traditions
