Did any of you ever attend an LSU JV football game?

I use to go as a kid, was even on the sidelines for a couple of them. Fun but just not the same as a Saturday night. Tonight's game has that same feel.
P.S. - I already downvoted so you won't be the first.

When I was little went to see LSU played Tulane on the Westbank, early 80s. Think it might have been the freshman teams.

The baby bengals were what they were called. Freshman were not allowed to play varsity. There were future all americans on those teams.

Are there any records of these games anywhere? How many games would the jv play a year and did they play other sec teams or instate teams

Seems like in the early 80's they played home games at Bernie Moore. Maybe that was a one time game,or issue.

I remember my freshman year at LSU watching LSU-Tulane at Bernie Moore

Yes. Back in the 1960s and 70s the LSU- Tulane freshmen game used to be a big deal. It was played the Friday night before the varsity game. If the varsity game was in Baton Rouge they freshman’s game would be in Tulane Stadium and vice versa. It attracted large and ruckus crowds.

once my frosh year, 1970 at Bernie Moore to see a friend play

Yes
Saw:
LSU-OM in '68 in TS (there were like 3 guys from my small town playing between the two teams.)
LSU-OM in '77 at Bernie Moore. Kyle Bruhl was a beast.
LSU-Lamar in TS in '82. James White (played TE but was playing at ILB for this and was going sideline to sideline clothes lining people)

I remember watching a few games at Bernie Moore stadium

Yeah, it was freshman only and it was in '79 and Alan Risher was the QB at Bernie Moore. I can't remember who we played (may have been ole miss) but we wore purple jerseys. I want to say it was on a Friday afternoon/evening as the RV tailgaters were walking over when we were parking.
A bunch of us kids were in the grass area behind the south end zone where they used to hold field events during track meets. I took a shot to the mouth playing "touch" football and we had to stop at BR General on the way home for stitches. After the game was over of course. Good Times.

I never saw them, but my dad was a freshman kicker for the LSU JV team.

There used to be decent crowds in TS the year Bert Jones played qb for the freshmen team. I was in graduate school at the time and attended those games.

In the 70s. Coach took our football team to watch them play. Played in Bernie Moore.

You are as old as i am
Posted on 1/4/22 at 1:43 pm to tigbit
Yep. They were at Bernie Moore and not many people went. More like scrimmages.

I attended one as a student at LSU. It was held at the track stadium. I believe Alan Risher was the young QB for the Tigers.

I attended a few Freshmen games, back when freshmen were not allowed to play varsity.
I watched LSU freshmen, with Mike Hillman and Trey Prather beat an Ole Miss freshmen team QBd by Archie Manning.
We won by a by a wide margin, if I remember correctly. Unfortunately Archie was much better as a Soph and Junior and was the difference in Ole Miss winning those games
