Late '90s-maybe '01. Troop 33. Southeast Upper Endzone. Saw both good and bad games.

Things I remember the most:
-the old scoreboard saying "Tyler hits Booty in the Endzone" after a touchdown pass.

-some guy stopping me to check out his lady's arse asking, "doesn't she have a nice arse?" I had to agree.

-helping the first aid folks carry a large lady down to the first aid station. She twisted her ankle OUTSIDE the stadium, walked up all the ramps, climbed about midway up the stands, then decided she couldn't make it.

Good times!

I ushered from '94-'96. The game that stands out the most for me was the 95 Auburn game. Bringing back the white jerseys and getting revenge from the previous year. I have a photo of the stadium from that night framed in my bedroom.

Troop 101 in late 70's. No really big games, but you did not know/care at the time.

Troop 133 New Iberia-ushered the entire 58 and 59 seasons. I'll never forget the Tulame 62-0 game. Stadium was empty by the third quarter.

Not a Boy Scout, but was in Civil Air Patrol from 1986-1989 and escorted the handicap individuals to the field level sections (where my seats where). Was about 5 yards from THE PASS in the EQ game.

Remember hanging around the locker room and getting tons of gloves, sweat bands, etc. Even got snuck in the locker room by Eric Hill (my favorite LSU player growing up) after a game during this time period.

I only worked 1 game as a boy scout as an usher in the late 90s. Worked a ton of games in the early 2000's at the first aid stations as a stretcher bearer. Got into the stadium an hour before everyone else. One of the coolest parts was seeing the head coaches check out the field before gates open. Also cool was watching the rush of students to get their first come first serve seats and most of them laying down to save seats for their friends.

Yep, my first season included the one time it rained at Death Valley, the Alabama game in (I think) 1979. It poured down. Also was there for the big comeback vs. Houston to win 35-34 and the Fla. St. game the year after going to the Orange Bowl. I had an unobstructed view of the goal line and still don't think FSU made it on their 4th and 1 just before halftime.
