re: Anyone remember their 1st game in Tiger Stadium?

Sept. 19, 1970. We lost to A & M 20-18. I was 17 and a freshman. Vietnam was raging and so many were dying every week. Went to the game with my Dad. He talked to me that night about joining the National Guard. I declined. Student deferments were still available, though not for long. So long ago, but that conversation seems like it was yesterday.

But Tommy Casanova and Bert Jones were playing. We ended up ranked 7th.
