Thanks for the story you did good ??! Mine is very different and I can’t remember when or what game but I had my boys with me and it was my 32 yr olds first game. Anyway it might have been the game with my oldest who is 39 I don’t remember. I can tell stories better than writing them but anyway, During the Pledge of Allegiance (Back when everyone stood up or didn’t kneel anyway) I still put my hand over my heart because that’s what you did. I elbowed my oldest to do and little brother looked up (lil brother idolized big brother ) and did the same.

So at the end of the Pledge…

And the home of the brave. I didn’t mean to offend but I sang
And the Home of the Tigers ! Ya gotta understand my voice is still at 65 louder than a freight train BOOMING ! If that gives you any idea ??sonwhen I sang that , everybody around looked at me kinda like Wtf but then smiled and cheered and high 5’ing me, (wish I could go back in time) and the next few games it seemed like more and more people around me were doing it and then everyone around me was. This would have been south endzone (opposite the band) caticorner sp. about half way up in corner of the bowl I think ? The more I write about it the more I see me in a different place But it Happened ok ! ??
So please tell me does anybody out there remember this ?
It musta been in 90s , early 2000s maybe ? It seems like I hear it on the TV (when it’s on a real channel) but maybe it’s because I want to hear it ? I have not been to a game in years (spank?? emoji) I’ve tailgated but just can’t afford tickets anymore, not for the big games anyway and I do live in LA. anymore ??. So please let me know Did I start something that still lives or did it die out ? Geaux Tigers !
Also to any military out there I don’t or didn’t mean to offend Anyone ! if Tiger fans out there aren’t still doing this… it really sounds Good !

I AM LEGEND or am I ? This is the question !
Thanks again

I did explorers and we were mostly the aid station over by the student section, what great times! I don't remember when I started but I am at least certain 1993 (graduated HS in '96) b/c we played Utah State that year and they selected our troop to be the ones who held the cords for the Utah State coaches b/c they could not afford to bring their equipment mangers on the trip with them! One guy who will remain nameless decided it would be a good idea to pull on Mike's whisker when we were checking him out on the sidelines... good grief what an dumba$$!

Did I score two points for the Tigers without ever dressing out? Yes. Was I responsible for winning the football game? Also yes. Was Gerry Dinardo's Bring Back the Magic effort bouyed by that win, that I'm responsible for, setting the stage for LSU to become one of the most successful college football programs for two or three decades because I blew through a water bottle cap that sounded a lot like a whistle? Yes. It was me. It was all me and I did it. You're welcome.

Cool story. You could’ve condensed it down to two paragraphs though
