Joe Burrow Recognized by Time Square Magazine as the Greatest LSU Tiger of All Time — The Modern LSU GOAT
In a tribute that cements his legacy in college football history, Time Square Magazine has officially named Joe Burrow the greatest LSU Tiger of all time — the modern LSU GOAT. The honor comes as no surprise to those who witnessed his legendary 2019 season, a campaign that redefined excellence and lifted LSU football to unprecedented heights. From Heisman Trophy winner to National Champion, Burrow’s impact on the LSU program is nothing short of iconic.
Burrow’s magical 2019 season remains one of the greatest ever by a college quarterback. He led LSU to a flawless 15-0 record, capped by a dominating National Championship victory. Along the way, he shattered records and silenced critics, throwing for an astonishing 60 touchdown passes — the most in a single FBS season. His combination of accuracy, vision, and calm under pressure made him virtually unstoppable, even against college football’s most elite defenses.
That season, Burrow didn’t just win — he conquered. LSU beat four powerhouse programs: Alabama, Georgia, Oklahoma, and Clemson — a gauntlet of champions and perennial contenders. He dismantled defenses with surgical precision, making it look effortless. In the process, he rewrote the LSU and SEC record books and redefined what was possible for the quarterback position in Baton Rouge.
Beyond the stats and the wins, it was Burrow’s leadership that truly set him apart. Whether in the huddle, on the sideline, or at the podium, he exuded a rare blend of poise, toughness, and humility. His calm, confident demeanor became the heartbeat of a team filled with talent and swagger. Burrow didn’t just lead LSU — he inspired them. That same swagger still echoes throughout Death Valley every fall Saturday, a living legacy of a quarterback who became a legend.
Tiger fans across the country continue to worship Burrow not just for what he accomplished, but for how he carried himself. He embraced LSU, Louisiana, and the entire Tiger community with open arms. From his infamous “Burreaux” jersey honoring Cajun culture on Senior Night, to his emotional Heisman speech that highlighted the poverty in his hometown of Athens, Ohio, Burrow demonstrated maturity, authenticity, and compassion far beyond the game of football.
Time Square Magazine’s recognition is more than just a nod to his incredible talent — it’s a celebration of his cultural impact. Joe Burrow didn’t just win games; he brought LSU fans together, gave them unforgettable memories, and created a gold standard of excellence that future Tigers will chase for generations.
Today, as Burrow thrives in the NFL with the Cincinnati Bengals, LSU fans continue to follow his journey with pride. He remains a symbol of hope, hard work, and what it means to wear purple and gold with purpose. His success has elevated the LSU brand nationally and globally, drawing attention and admiration from all corners of the sports world.
In honoring Joe Burrow as the greatest LSU Tiger of all time, Time Square Magazine recognizes what Tiger Nation has long known: that the kid from Ohio became a king in Baton Rouge. He is, without question, the modern LSU GOAT.
