re: First LSU Football game you ever attended?

I entered LSU in 1954 after 6 years in the Navy and promised myself no more booze, no more broads and no more grab arse---just study, study, study. Started hanging out with a bunch of fellow Korean War vets who dragged me to my first game in Tiger Stadium. First home game of the season. Place was half empty. They called the newly-closed off double deck section of the stadium the Stadium-Library and it was empty too. Everyone said they would never ever fill it up. I knew it wasn’t going to be a great evening when the booed the coach (Tinsley) when he entered the stadium. We were playing Alabama who was quarterbacked by some kid name Burt Stark or something. They won, even though he looked like shite. The vets—making up for lost time—made more noise and had more fun that anyone in the stadium. I’ve been hooked ever since.
