Special teams, defensive mistakes down Tigers in Athens shootout
STORY LAWRENCE BARRECA Sports Writer
ATHENS, Ga. — When LSU looks back on its 2013 trip to Athens, Ga., it will likely remember a game that slipped right through its fingertips. The offensive shootout had no clear victor until Georgia senior quarterback Aaron Murray took a knee in the final moments to seal a 44-41 victory for the Bulldogs. Every drive prior for both the Tigers and the Bulldogs had seemingly gamechanging implications. For four quarters, No. 10 LSU (4-1, 1-1 Southeastern Conference) kept pace with the high-powered offense of No. 6 Georgia (31, 1-1 SEC), but uncharacteristically for LSU teams, three separate plays on defense and special teams spelled defeat for the Tigers. “We were a mistake or two away from winning that game,” said LSU coach

Les Miles. “It was a tremendously competitive game, and there’s a lot of things we can correct and make us a lot better.” Just when it seemed LSU had begun to gain momentum in the second half — after LSU senior quarterback Zach Mettenberger completed a 39-yard touchdown pass to junior wide receiver Jarvis Landry to tie the game at 27-27 — and the Tigers’ defense halted the ensuing Georgia drive, an error in the return game swung the game back in the Bulldogs’ favor. Georgia sophomore punter Collin Barber booted a kick to the LSU 24-yard line, and LSU junior wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. appeared primed for a return. But Beckham muffed the punt and Georgia BULLDOZED, see page 11

University student, alumnus form bow tie company Alexis Rebennack Staff Writer
A current University student and an alumnus are tying the knot with college campuses all over the U.S., forming a bow tie company with a level of class and culture that only comes from the South. Jordy Scholhamer, who graduated in 2011, and Claire Bourgeois, a business management senior, knew their dream of starting a bow tie business would be a reality when Scholhamer’s mother blurted out what she thought should be the name of the future bow tie company — Ties to the South.
After Scholhamer’s mother was diagnosed with cancer in 2012, she spent much of her time sewing. “My youngest brother was leaving for college and joining a frat, so my mom started making bow ties for him and some of the guys in his fraternity,” Scholhamer said. His mother Judy grew up in her mother’s sewing studio, so making a business out of sewing bow ties was a natural transition. Judy, who Bourgeois and Scholhamer refer to as the “designer extraordinaire,” handles all of the sewing and ensures the handmade quality of every bow tie.
“A bow tie is different than a tie,” Scholhamer said. “It doesn’t hang in your food when you eat. It’s more casual, and who really wants to wear a tie tie?” The company prides itself on its affordable price tag and being made in the U.S. Bourgeois and Scholhamer said the main goal of Ties to the South is to make the product “tie together the ties of the states.” “For example, in the Texas tab on our site, you will see bow ties with reds, whites and blues and burnt oranges,” Scholhamer said.

Ties to the South offers more than 50 bow tie designs featuring 12 different states, all related to each state’s culture. Ties are priced at $38 each.
