I guess the 70’s maybe although I wasn’t really paying attention since I was born in 74. Wade is our only hope if O doesn’t get the football program back from last season. Baseball is back to the dark ages

They weren't good in the 70's and hardly anybody went to the games. I was at LSU in the early 70's and baseball was a sport that nobody thought about. Football was always the number one sport and basketball was good because LSU had The Pistol. Baseball was lucky to have 50 fans at a game. SEC wise I remember Miss. State to be the school that cared for the sport of baseball. More students went to wrestling matches than they did for baseball. I can't even remember the name of the baseball coach back then. I think Press Robertson was the tennis coach. Many of us who lived on campus never attended a baseball game. We went to all home football games and many basketball games. Baseball was never brought up in a conversation about sports. I started at LSU in '69 and finished in '72 and me and my friends never went to a baseball game. Football games were great. You entered sober but left TS drunk. The bad thing about sneaking booze in the stadium was that you always seemed to be sitting near a student who couldn't hold their liquor and started puking their guts out.

The baseball coach in the late 60's was Jim Smith, a football manager. That is how dedicated LSU was to baseball. I know I was there.

I’m pretty sure the baseball coach was the football equipment manager.

Baton Rouge never was and still isn't a baseball town. Without Skip it would not be a LSU baseball town.
