Folks that are too young to have experienced a family, all sitting together, on a Saturday night, listening to John ferguson call the Tiger games really missed out. At 48, and as a one time season ticket holder, I've got incredible LSU football memories. The one that is THE most nostalgic and heartwarming though are those memories of me, mom, and dad, sitting in the den, listening to LSU on the radio.

Wow, you are so right. Didn't know how great those times were when growing up. Definitely some great days and I love to go back and listen to the audio of John Ferguson's call of that last drive in Tiger Stadium on the Brad Davis winning catch. The whole of that last drive is on audio and even at 53 still sends chills up and down my spine listening to Ferguson's call and as I mentioned earlier so sorry to hear about Buddy Lee's passing.

Yep. Great memories. Mom, Dad, and all of us kids (we ended up with 6 total) sitting on the patio or in the living room, listening to JF calling the game.

I can still remember the first time I saw LSU on TV, it was a really strange experience, since I was so used to listening on the radio.

I'm with you TigerTrey-grew up listening to the games as a family on the Magnavox console stereo. Only difference was when the Tigers got close to scoring, I'd go in my backyard and listen to the roar coming from the stadium 3 miles away. As soon as I was old enough I started working in the concession stands so I could get into the games. ND screwing over what was one of the best Tiger teams of all time still sticks in my craw, and why I hate the Leprechauns and Condoms (for 1979) more than any other CFB teams.

You really know you're old when you remember listening to J.C. Politz on the radio calling tiger games

He has the call on the Billy Cannon runback.
