re: what was your first experience at tiger stadium?

November 19, 1949 - LSU 48 Southeastern 7

My dad was a student at SLC under the GI Bill. Mom, dad, my brother and sister and I piled into the family's Studebaker and drove to BR. I was 8 years old at the time and became a life-long LSU fan after that game. One interesting feature of the game was that Coach Tinsley was not satisfied with the effort of the team in the first half. He pulled the starters and took them to a practice field south of the stadium (which then was a horseshoe) and put them through full contact workouts and allowed the subs to play the entire second half.
