Late 1970s or early 80s. Alan Risher was the QB at the time.

Walked into TS on a Saturday night in 1972 with my Dad. Had been to high school games but never saw something like this at age 9. Been hooked ever since.

1999 the first year I was a student. We stunk, but that started my fanaticism. I have watched or listened to every game since.

First memories was watching Jay Barker kick our arse in TS, and Shaq dominating the court in basketball.

Still young, but started following LSU baseball in early 90's as a baseball player myself.

'97 Florida win was the turning point with football for me.

I started following lsu bball with shaq and cj before football. I became an lsu football fan when my friend's cousin Allen Stansberry was playing. I was also a fan of Shedrick Wilson too.
