I was a Marine in Vietnam when LSU played Arkansas in the 1966 Cotton Bowl. I wrote Coach McClendon a letter telling him there were a lot of us pulling for a win.
He wrote me back, said he appreciated the support, and told me to drop by for a visit when I returned home.The Tigers won, and some Razorback Marines had to pay some bets.
In 1967 I dropped by and visited with the coach and introduced him to my new bride.
He was very gracious, and it was a big day for this longtime Tigers fan.
