the 1982 Florida State game


An LSU student dressed up like a 'Seminole' ran around the NEZ until the costumed Mike tackled him and broke his spear. The student section went insane.


Literally my first memory at an LSU game. I was a youngster, but I definitely remember Mike scalping the Seminole. I asked my dad why the Florida State mascot would let Mike do that, and he had to explain to me that it was probably an LSU student that dressed up like a Seminole and it was not the real Florida St mascot.

My dad wouldn't let me throw any oranges.

We brought oranges. We thought we were going to be real original with that. Until the first first down of the game, and down come the oranges.


I was a soph in high school, living in La Place. Didn't even tell my parents I was going to the game. Just said I was going out. Headed off to BR, got some tix outside.

You must have been the only young person in the stadium who didn't throw oranges. Students and others were openly walking in with bags of oranges and security just let them pass on by...everyone knew what was in store. LSU cheerleaders were a frequent target for a number pos students. Ejections may have set a record that night.

But you are right, that was a loud game starting well before kick-off.
