The family plan I referred to was not the "Billy Cannon" plan. In fact, I have never heard of that plan. The family plan was an offer by LSU Athletic Dept. as a way of getting people into Tiger Stadium.......as this was when sell-outs were the exception and not the rule. After LSU beat Bobby Franklin and Ole Miss, the family plan was no longer a way of getting tickets on the night of the game. Great memories of the "Old Tiger Stadium".......

"Billy Cannon" plan.
Just using that term tongue in cheek, long before the Tiger Mafia Athletic Foundation took over the extortion racket that is todays' way of obtaining tickets, Cannon, while a player, would work during the summer and buy a section of seats, at face, during times, as you pointed out, that sellouts weren't common. As the Tigers became better, and more people wanted to see them, he would sell those tickets on game day. Presumably for a profit. Documented story.
