How about let's have some fun, for a change?

For me, it was Bert Jones' last season (1972). I was a small child, but still remember the excitement over the last-second win over Ole Miss....

1965
Don't remember who they played but remember Mike coming around the field with cheerleaders on top of the trailer/cage.

Being terrified! Holding my Mom and Dads hands and walking around fights and dodging puddles of puke on the way into the stadium!It was a little rougher crowd back in the 70s.

I remember LSU losing to Bud Wilkinson's Oklahoma team in the 1950 Sugar Bowl game by a score of 35-0. That game was the beginning of my great interest in LSU football. I think I was 13.

LSU vs Notre Dame 1997. I was 5 and we sat in the South endzone staring into a stiff 20 mph wind with temperatures around 45 degrees.

The big brawl game against Tulane. First LSU game I had been too. I think I was about 9yrs old.

The Mike Archer years. I can especially remember LSU going into the season ranked like 3rd and getting manhandled by A&M.

1990-Kinchen’s run against A&M. Been a tiger ever since. 91-94 May have been the worst years of LSU football but I have such fond memories of being a kid and going to tiger stadium with my family. I’ll always treasure that.

1997 upset of number 1 Florida. Days before my 7th birthday.

My dad handed me over the fence to a sheriff standing on the sideline as the students rushed the field.

I stood right next to two sheriffs in awe of what I was seeing.


2nd memory: '97 Notre Dame game. I told an Irish fan sitting in the row in front of me that Kevin Faulk was going to run all over them.

I think it was New Years day 1965 Cotton Bowl. LSU beat Pigs snapping their 22 game winning streak 14-7.
