Ha...First game I attended as a freshman. I remember students could buy tickets for $2 each. Rain was torrential. If I'm not mistaken, Bowden said the LSU game cost him the "mythical" National Championship that year b/c so many of his players were battered after that game.

I remember leaving campus in the rain with some friends from Mississippi who had convinced me to go to watch Southern play and party with them afterwards as I assumed like many others that this game would be over right after kick-off and that LSU wouldn't put up a fight! Turned out to everyone's surprise to be quite competitive in a losing effort! I felt like crap when the announcer at Southern's game that I sat through in the pouring rain, read the halftime scores with LSU leading that game at the half wishing I had hung around that night! But my trip to Southern turned out to be something special as I sat watching them get killed 35 to 0 by halftime as they were being thrashed by a little known QB at the time who played like a man among boys and who turned out to be an NFL MVP. The QB that Southern was facing was named Steve McNair and this was his freshman year at Alcorn State and his legendary college career was just getting started so my night was not a total waste as he seemed to be playing on an entirely different level as everyone else on the field and really put on a show in the rain.

This was the first LSU game I ever attended. I was 12 years old and my brother, who was in grad school at LSU, took me. We sat in the student section and it was love at first site. I remember it being the greatest moment of my young life.

Went to the game as a 10 year old. Vividly remember my family wanting to disown me because by the time the 4th quarter came around, I was doing the tomahawk chop.

We looked great against Florida State. Not sure how this team ended up 4-7.

Oh wait, Curley Hallman was our head coach.

I was a sophomore at LSU
I remember FSU LB Kirk Carruthers had a big game
After the game, We walked across the LSU Golf Course front nine on our way back to our apartment and we did Pete Rose slides in the standing water in the fairways

Where did southern play back then?

It was called Mumford Stadium back then on east side of the campus. Not sure where they play today but I would assume same place.
