re: Fun Offseason Topic: What is the first LSU football season you remember?

First game was vs UF in 1972 or so. Remember many "games" after that, not seasons though.

First season I remember was 1979. I can still spout off players names, game results, emotions of wins and losses (ugh some pain) and a goodbye.

Lots to remember from that season.

Mine was the 2001 season.

Same! We went to Mexico that year for Thanksgiving. And the Friday after we were watching LSU vs Arkansas and we were losing so my dad came up with the idea that everytime we scored we would run and jump in the pool. We won like 45-41 and it seemed like we jumped in like every 5 minutes. One of my happiest sports memories. I was 7 and will never forget how my dad made it fun and some day I'll do the same with my kids. We all love LSU football so much we forget that it's supposed to be fun, and a time of bonding with friends and family.

My first memory of being at a game is the 1992 A&M game in Baton Rouge when I was 7. When I can actually recall details of games and whatnot was probably the 1994 season.

When Reggie Reganalie(TULANE)or whatever his name is beat LSU

After doing some research it turns out to be the 1971-72 time frame.

I remember both the controversial Paul Lyons / Bert Jones dual QB system and the Jones/Davis catch against Ole Miss (but I couldn't remember when those happened).

I was 7-8 years old at the time. I think I went to my first game in 1971.

It was a "Mid 60's" game against Alabama in Tiger Stadium. Our seats were in the lower SEZ Upper Deck right behind the goal posts.

My uncle from Tuscaloosa was a big Alabama supporter and friend of Bear Bryant. He got us tickets every other year to the game in TS. We never beat Bama, so I grew up hating them and all their BS.

Started attending regularly in the early 70's while in high school. (From Mandeville, but graduated from Choctawhatchee HS in Fort Walton Beach FL)

LSU student on and off PT/FT 74-82. GBFTL in 74. Madison Scouts D & BC in 75, then more GBFTL 76-82.

I've seen roughly 90% of the night games in Tiger Stadium since the early 70's. (Don't go to sacrilegious day games)

After being down on that field for so many years, it's not that exciting being up in the seats. Even for very big games it's been very anti-climatic. That's why I state "Been There, Done That" often.

Been doing it so long now, that it's not that thrilling/exciting any longer and very easy to stay away. (Particularly in the last 5 years or so with the Corporatization, Sanitation, PIMization and Decline in the Tiger Stadium atmosphere. Thanks LSUAD )

95 is the first where i can recall every game.

1982. Vividly remember my dad going crazy when we beat Bama. Then remember the mystique of wearing the purple jerseys in the Orange Bowl. Also remember actually listening to Jim Hawthorne (before he seemingly became constantly frustrated) on the LSU radio broadcasts in the ‘80’s and ‘90’s and enjoying it. There was something special about actually watching the late news just to see highlights of the games back then.

73 vs South Carolina in Columbia. My dad got us 50 yard line seats (we were living there at the time). We won because their QB that we couldn't stop ran out of time before they scored again.

Probably 97 and specifically the night the goal posts came down. Seems like my dad cut the grass in that LSU/UF shirt for over a decade after the fact. I love LSU football
