Clemson University was founded in 1889, while Louisiana State University (LSU) was established in 1860. However, the nickname "Tigers" was adopted by both schools at different times. Clemson's use of the tiger mascot dates back to the early 20th century, while LSU adopted its tiger mascot in the 1890s. Therefore, LSU was the first to use the "Tigers" nickname.
