Your birthday connection to LSU

Fun offseason topic: Does your birthday have any special connection to LSU athletics?
For me, I was born on Nov. 6, 1969. Two days later, on Nov. 8, 1969 (the first LSU v Alabama game of my lifetime), LSU beat Alabama for the first time since the national championship season of 1958. To be fair, we hadn't played them from 1959 to 1963 (for whatever reason), but starting with the 1964 game, the current early November matchup was born. So, my birthday was always closely linked with this game (and with certain Presidential elections), like with this first game.
Also of note, this was a WIN in Tiger Stadium which has happened so infrequently, it's unbelievable (10 wins in 42 games). It also started a streak of 2 over them, with Cholly Mac finally getting some success over his former mentor, Da Bear.
I feel like I've had some good juju for the team. Here is a sample:
Nov. 6, 1982 - The one that made the Bear retire. Go look at his comments after that game. It was clear he realized the game had passed him by. Broke a streak of 11 straight that had started after that 1970 win.
Nov. 6, 1993 - Broke the Alabama 31-game unbeaten streak.
Nov. 6, 2010 - A win in Tiger Stadium! Few and far between. As a matter fact, this and the 2022 Jayden Daniels to Mason Taylor conversion are the only two times we beat Saban in Tiger Stadium. He even beat the Saints there when he coached the Dolphins.
Also, the 9-6 game was on Nov. 5 a year later. It was a night OT game and ended at 11:35 pm eastern, so close to my birthday. The Nov. 5, 2022 win in Tiger Stadium I believe might have ended after midnight, which means the winning points were scored on my birthday as well.

Hey guys let’s all drop our social security numbers too to see if those have any special connection to LSU athletics

Super regionals often fall on my birthday so we have a good history there

My birthday is in late May.
The commencement ceremonies for high school and undergrad were both on my birthday. My masters commencement was a couple of days off, unfortunately.
Still really awesome to graduate on a birthday.

Mine is November 3, so I always look forward to the Bama game around that time like the OP. 
The last few on the 3rd was 2012 and 2018, don’t need to bring those up.

My youngest sister was born June 8, 1991...June 8 was the national championship game day for three of LSU's baseball titles including the first one, vs. Wichita State on her actual day of birth. She was born during the game.
My birthday is April 22....normally no exciting sports on that day. Maybe early SEC baseball.

I once remember beating Columbia (or maybe Dartmouth?) in Alex Box Stadium in the rain on my birthday. My bday is at the beginning of March though and we have usually been pretty bad in basketball so sadly nothing really memorable that's LSU sports related. However I have had many Mardi Gras weekends in NOLA for my bday so it makes up for it.
ETA: After some research, we won our first and only SEC Tournament Championship in basketball on March 1st, 1980

Birthday is Jan 2. Went to the 2002 Sugar Bowl against Illinois. By time game was over and walked to the nearest bar at midnight I turned 21. Was able to legally enjoy the LSU win!
