Open Letter: The Time Has Come – Netflix Set to Release Documentary on LSU Tigers
The time has come. After years of dedication, hard work, and unforgettable moments, the LSU Tigers are about to take the spotlight in a way that we have all been waiting for. Netflix, the global streaming giant, has officially announced the release of a documentary chronicling the iconic journey of the LSU Tigers football team. This documentary will not just be a reflection of wins and losses, but an exploration of the grit, passion, and unyielding spirit that defines this legendary program.
For those of us who have followed the Tigers through thick and thin, this documentary feels like the culmination of a journey — a recognition of the heart and soul of LSU athletics. From the loud roars of Tiger Stadium to the ever-constant support of the fans who never back down, LSU’s story is one of unrelenting perseverance, growth, and legacy.
This documentary isn’t simply about football. It’s about more than just the Xs and Os, the touchdowns, or the rivalries that ignite our passions. It’s about the players, the coaches, and the fans who pour their energy into every snap. It’s about the dreams of young athletes who put on the purple and gold, not just for the game, but for something much larger than themselves: the pride of an entire community, the history of a school, and the promise of future greatness.
For those who may not know, LSU football isn’t just a team — it’s a family. And that family has shaped the culture of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and beyond. The documentary will dive into the stories of the athletes who came from all walks of life, some from small towns, others from big cities, but all bound by a shared desire to wear the Tigers’ jersey with honor. Their journey is filled with highs and lows, the joy of championships, the heartbreak of defeat, and the grit needed to rise each time they are knocked down. It’s a story that resonates with all of us, whether you’ve ever worn the uniform or simply bled purple and gold as a fan.
This documentary will undoubtedly shine a light on some of the most iconic moments in LSU history. From the unforgettable 2019 season, where Coach Ed Orgeron led the Tigers to a national championship with Heisman-winning quarterback Joe Burrow, to the decades of rivalry with teams like Alabama and Texas A&M, these are the stories that have shaped LSU’s identity in college football. But beyond the wins, it will tell the stories of the players who became legends, like the late great Steve Ensminger, the unbreakable leadership of Coach Les Miles, and the passion of fans like none other.
There are moments in history that become etched in time, and LSU’s football legacy is filled with them. The documentary will not only look at the victories but also at the losses that made this program stronger, more resilient, and ultimately more successful. The pain of falling short is as much a part of LSU’s story as the joy of triumph. Every single step along the way has been a building block for the next generation of Tigers, and this documentary will honor that.
Moreover, this is a story of hope. It’s a story of young athletes chasing their dreams, overcoming obstacles, and leaving everything they have on the field. It’s about the legacy they create, not just for themselves, but for the generations that follow. As fans, we become a part of that legacy, sharing in their moments of glory and providing the unwavering support that sustains them through the toughest battles.
The time has come for the world to see what we already know: LSU Tigers are not just a football team, they are a force to be reckoned with. This documentary will show what it truly means to be part of the Tiger family. We will watch the story unfold, but we also know that it’s not over. It’s a story that continues, one that will inspire future Tigers to leave their mark on the field, the community, and the world.
So, to the Tigers — past, present, and future — we celebrate you. To the fans, thank you for your unyielding support. And to Netflix, thank you for telling our story. The time has come, and we couldn’t be prouder.
