Yes, LSU has a real live Tiger as their mascot. Where is our cardinal?!
Our teams standing for a photo with Issac Traxler after the contest. Issac has taken teams to the world finals and has run the regional competition for many years. He was also the man who convinced the Internal ACM to ditch Windows for Linux for the contest. Bravo!
We had a great time and put forth a lot of effort. We hope next year will be even better!
